ups & downs??

in Babies on the Brain

My DH and I just decided to start TTC this week. I've been off the pill for one month now, and have been using backup until we decided that it was time to start trying. While we were using backup all I could think of was how I wish we weren't, and how much I hoped I'd somehow get pregnant anyways. Now that we officially decided to ditch the rubbers, I keep having moments of pure panic come over me. The money, the timing, what if something goes wrong?! I feel like these are probably normal feelings, but I'm just wondering if anyone else went through this and how they stayed sane through these ups and downs?

 Thanks

    Same here!  I've been off the pill for a month.  It's so scary.  Anytime I get in a little argument with my hubby or the laundry gets behind, I get worried that we're not ready.  It's something I know we want and can handle in the long run.  But geeze, right now...

    I think it's normal to have moments of panic. Just don't lie to yourself if you know there is something deeper that's making you unsure. Babies are lifechanging decisions, so if you know the timing is right and you're as ready as possible, I wouldn't fret about a bit of worrying.

    I definitely had moments of "what are we doing!!". A baby is a very big decision and it's natural that you are having those moments. But if you really are truly questioning your decision you need to think hard to make sure you are ready.

    I know I went through that thought process up and down throughout TTC. It'll mellow out i'm sure. The fears will fade away as long as you stay calm.

    I definitely had those moments often while TTC. It's a big decision and lifechanging so it's actually a good sign that you are worried about it. It's how you know it's important. If you start to think the timing is really not right though you should heed to that feeling.

    Me and my husband are in the passively trying to get pregnant but i do have the moments of doubt thinking my youngest sisters is only 5 ? What if i go in to labor when my sisters are graduating? I dont want to miss those moments with them...Baby fever is getting strong for me I have everything great finances , healthy marriage, a home but me and my husband are young so its okay to have doubts
