I'm nervous. Does this mean I'm not ready?

AshnRobo

We set a date to start TTC. We made an appointment to have my IUD removed. We discussed how to make it work. We agreed to use BC on the months that would result in a pregnancy during my busy months at work (I am a small business owner. The long term and short term results of a birth during those two months would potentially put me out of business.) We both really want this, but now that we have a date set...I'm totally nervous.

Does this mean I'm not as ready as I though??

Nope. It means your human. It sounds like you have a well thought out plan. What are you nervous about?

I think I'm nervous that it won't be something I can handle. Or any of the million what-ifs (what if I lose my business, what if DH loses his job, what if I'm a terrible mother, what if ...) 

I guess these are probably pretty normal concerns. I mean, I'm sure some of you don't have second thoughts...but me? I'm scared of screwing up.

I'm still having second thoughts.

 

Good to know. It never goes away.

I'm nervous as well. Alot of it has to do with the will I be a good mom worries. It's kind of like when you were getting married. Even though you were super excited and knew he was the one, you're still a little bit nervous.

Word.

If you aren't worried at least a little, you are probably effing something up.

I just recently (like a week ago or so) had the "holy sh!t I am going to be a mom in a month whatthehell did we do to ourselves???"  Totally normal to be nervous.

if you weren't nervous you wouldn't be human! 

 

We just started trying a few months ago and I keep thinking WTH am I doing, I have a 10 year old and am starting over completely, this is craziness! But we want babies so its time.

 

Good luck and hopefully everything works it self out.

I am so glad I'm not the only one! My DH's family makes me feel so bad about my nervousness and keep trying to talk me out of it (I think part of it is because she only wants to have one grandchild for a while, but we do not live on her time or my SIL's time). We aren't TTC until April, but still....

 

This is why I joined boards like this...to find some comrade.

I thought your SN looked familiar. Best of luck TTC and I agree with all of the advice given. I think its prefectly normal to be scared, its a huge decision to start TTC!
