Trying to embrace my pregnancy

ervincherise

I am nine weeks pregnant. I aready ahve a child (he's 5) and never really imagined myself wit more children. I am currently in medical school (graduating in December 2012) and me and my long time boyfriend (and father of my five year old) have just recently been engaged. I feel like this pregnancy is getting in the way of EVERYTHING!!! How do I embrace this? I dont wanna tell my family and friends because Im not sure how they will take it knowing all the goals I've set for myself. Not to mention, Im not financially stable or in the house that I dreamed to be at this age. WHAT DO I DO??? I need maternity advice on how to move forward without having a chip on my shoulder. Also, I am very nauseus all day long which is making it harder to embrace... BLAHHHHH!

Wow that seems a little selfish to me, I would do anything for a LO! You should enjoy every minute of your pregnancy (well maybe not the nausea), and be thankful for it.

I felt the same way. I didnt get to enjoy my wedding to its fullest because I was 8 weeks pregnant. I made my husband give up his career because I couldnt handle being away from my family for our first child. It takes time, you get used to the idea, and once you are able to set out plans for yourself it definately takes a load of your shoulders. And by the way, your not selfish, unplanned pregnancies are scary. Once you hear the heartbeat and see its face on a ultra sound, it will set in. At least thats what I've heard, and am hoping its true! Im still not baby crazy yet either. Good luck! Everything will turn out great.

With my DS which I had when I was only 18 ( now almost 8 years ago !) it was unplanned and I was in college , unmarried and didnt even have a place of my own. Because of all of this I didnt let myself enjoy my pregnancy , didnt take maternity pictures, didnt have a baby shower, didnt have a nursery , and I cannot tell you how much I regret now not embracing it . You never know what the future holds.. for all you know this could be your last pregnancy , and just knowing how I feel it would be my advice to just be happy about it and accept that this IS your new life plan.. you've just gotta roll with the punches sometimes! Best of luck to you !!
