Anybody else struggling to come to terms with new pregnancy?

Question

I'm 5 weeks pregnant, completely planned with my husband and so wanted. But since finding out we were expecting 2 weeks ago I am really struggling to come to terms with it. I keep having anxious thoughts and panic attacks about whether I will be good enough and if I can even do this. I am so scared of how much life is going to change now and worried I won't enjoy my new mummy life. Does anybody else feel like this or am I just a complete weirdo that's completely underprepared for this journey? 😢

Answer

Thank you so much for all of your support. I feel so much less alone now knowing others feel this way. I've been looking through the feeds and couldn't find anybody talking about it and it made me feel really abnormal. I think I just need to come to terms with the idea a bit over time. Me and my husband have had 6 lovely years together just us two and it's weird to think soon there will be a third. I know this is going to be the best thing that ever happened to us and I am sure me worrying means I will a good mum just hope it's true and I can come to terms with this and enjoy my pregnancy. Thank you all 😘

Answer

I think it's normal , I'm not a mom yet and all these thoughts are hunting me already ! The fact that you worry so much shows that you're going to be a great mom :)

Answer

Definitely not alone with feeling like that, however I know in the end once I see and hear him/her inside me and once I get to meet them everything will be okay or even better. So many people feel like you do especially so early on, you've barely had any time to get used of it and it is such a big thing to adapt to but you will be okay especially once you get later in your pregnancy, the baby will be 100% worth it and you won't know why you ever felt like this. It's always a good idea to talk to someone like your partner or even a professional if you would prefer that, never keep it to yourself. I think it's totally normal and okay to feel like that but just remember that you are not alone and just because you think or feel something doesn't make it fact, the fact that you're worried about being a good enough mother already shows that you are a great one to care and worry so much for your baby and wonder if you are enough. Good luck with your pregnancy.
