I am 7 months pregnant and this baby came as a surprise as I thought I would have trouble having kids. I am 28 years old.

I am really excited but it seems like my emotions go from really excited one day to like really negative anxious and scared the next. I have been really excited the last few weeks and have been experiencing joy and happiness about the baby and now I see one or two negative things online on TikTok of women warning other women to not have kids and it’s freaking me out.

My husband couldn’t be happier which is awesome but I am the one who is struggling. I keep having thoughts of me being selfish bringing a baby into this world when the world is really bad right now. The economy, inflation, housing crisis, maternity leave and support for women, etc. I’m just so overwhelmed and it’s my own fault for doom scrolling. I had to delete Tik Tok because it was so negative.

Any advice for this first time mom to be? Any moms out there feel this?
