very unsure...

Hello all!  I am a first timer.  I feel everyone here is super excited for their babies.  We are more frieghtened then ever and was not a part of the plan.  We have decided to keep our baby but where to go from here is where we are stuck.  I am only about 5 weeks along and very unsure of the next 30plus weeks. :-(   I love kids but like everyone says, "I didn't think it would happen to me" is exactly what is going on.  I keep having mixed feelings about the whole thing and on top of that I am terrified to tell my parents. I am hoping this site will help with the insecurities and explain all the changes I feel. I am a full time worker and go to school part time, is it bad that I feel I have to stop all the things I want to do because I want to be a good mom?

    Sometimes the greatest things in life are unplanned : )  I dont think its bad that you feel you have to stop everything to be a good mom... And I dont think you have to STOP everything... everything will just CHANGE. Thats a given.. I am sure telling your parents will be nerve racking, but who wouldnt be excited to have a grand baby? : ) I hope it goes well for you. Stay positive.. it will work out : ) GL

    You've come to the right place for support and encouragement.  Might I make a suggestion?  Post your introduction on the 1st Trimester board and ask if there are any other young first-time moms who you can turn to for advice.

    I've not been in your shoes.  I'm 33 and trying to get pregnant for the first time, so I'm not a very good person to dispense advice.  Just know that you are not alone.

    I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months!

    Moosey13 I wish you the best of luck. Last year my sister found herself in a similar situation and she was terrified! Especially about telling my mom. And yes, my mom flipped but after a week or two, both realized that they obviously couln't change the situation so we all made the very best of it. She is now married and has a perfect baby boy named Grisham. We are so grateful for him and that my sister had the courage to do what she needed to. I love my little "nephy" and wouldn't trade him. My husband and I are currently TTC and can't wait for our own baby. I know that you are scared but you are not alone in any of this. Continue to post and keep us updated. You are very couragous for doing the right thing and readjusting your plans to have this blessing in your life. And you are going to not just be a good mom, you are going to be a GREAT mom!
