March 2025 Babies

Surprise baby

Me and my husband had a daughter in 2022. I have a 13 year old from a previous relationship and he has an 11 year old. This is where we wanted to stop, but SURPRISE!! I was on birth control, and realized I was overdue for my period, so I took a pregnancy test. Which led me to take 6 more because I just honestly couldn't believe the results. I don't know how to feel. Scared, because I am 36 and I never physically or emotionally wanted to do this again. Not mad, but not exactly happy either. I'm just confused. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and how they are and if anyone has any advice. I know I will love this baby so much, and I am feeling so guilty for having negative thoughts currently. I should be due about March 13th.

  • Don’t beat yourself up for not being over the moon happy, especially since you were actively trying to prevent another pregnancy. The best advice I can offer is to talk to someone who will just listen and let you vent without judgement. Definitely don’t bottle it up; that leads to even more negativity.

  • Your not alone. I'm 40 with baby #4 (Totally unexpected). I did want a big family but i thought i was done 4 years ago. I just figured this was God saying "you ask and now here you go"! Excitement has eventually crept in but I also worry a lot. I'm really all over the place with my emotions.
