Anyone else?

My husband and I really want to start trying for our 2nd kid. But I can’t help but feel so nervous bringing a child into this crazy world. I feel like my anxiety has gotten the best of me when I think about what world my daughter will have when she grows up, I can’t imagine having another child and doubling the worries.

I’m also a teacher and I feel like I need to be there for my students and create some sort of normalcy given this year. I can’t imagine getting pregnant then leaving right before the end of the year to give birth.

Mom and teacher guilt/anxiety are so real. I know I shouldn’t pause my life for everything going on, but it is a real feeling that just keeps growing.

So, is anyone else feeling this way, planning on trying soon, or anyone with great advice? I feel like I’m being over dramatic, but I can’t help it.
