Is it just the hormones?

I know that this is going to sound horrible but there are days when i regret getting pregnant I would never change it, but i keep questioning it. Every little thing that goes wrong it seems like my mind goes back to the question of was it the right time? There are some days that i am so excited, but a lot of days that i'm not. I don't know if it's just the hormones or if i'm getting depressed or something. We did plan this and i feel bad because i'm the one who convinced my husband that we were ready, and now i have second thoughts. We have only been married 6 months and i'm almost 5 months pregnant and we're young. I guess sometimes i feel like i let baby fever get the best of me and we should have waited. Did anyone else feel like this? Is it just hormones or am i being horrible?

It will be worth it! I promise. We weren't trying but I got married to my husband last August and was pregnant in Sept. It was a HUGE surprise. I have 2 dd's from my previous marriage and wasn't planning on anymore. The hormones def. mess with your mind a little. Once you see the baby you will fall in love and be so happy he/she is here:)

While most days I'm happy about the pregnancy, sometimes I wonder why I didn't wait 2 or 3 more years so that I could have done some more travelling and enjoyed time to myself. 

Having a baby is a beautiful thing but it is also terrifying and life-changing.  I think many women wonder if it was the right time, but I figure if you wait for the "right time" - it may never come.  There is always going to be a reason to wait a little longer. 

Don't feel guilty about those thoughts and you should talk to your partner about all your emotions, it will help.

Also, take some time now to relax and enjoy time with your husband.  If you can, take a short trip together - or just enjoy a few nice dates together.

I feel the same way sometimes. I havent said it to my husband cus i dont want him to think im a brat or sorry i got pregnant, so it kinda makes me feel better im not alone in this. Im in the same situation only we've been married a little longer (yr and a half).

My guess is its the emotions, cus i feel so depressed about this and just about anything else. My pants no longer fitting, weird skin things that happen cus im pregnant. im just feeling very low. So don't worry. You're probably going through something normal. Try to focus on how much you're going to love that little baby when it arrives. That helps me a bit.
