I want to stop please help me
Im 23 and my husband is 30
We have been ttc for 3 months now. I know its still soon but this feels so stressful. I went from reallyyyy not wanting a baby to now wanting one so bad that I feel like this is all I think about as soon as I get any free time.
My husbands advise? Basically if youre stressed then stop stressing 😂 but this has been 3 months and I read on here so much peoples stories who have been trying for 6,7,8,9+ months and honestly just thinking of it gives me anxiety.
I cant stop thinking of telling my mum and my MIL and my friends that im pregnant. I know pathetic. But I cant stop imagining what its like to get a positive and to be pregnant and have a baby even though im absolutely terrified of child birth. I just think ahead and fantasise of all the things coming. But i want to stop.
I want to stop stressing, i dont even know how to deal with stress to begin with. I want to take on a “it happens when it happens” approach but this is so extremely hard.
I havent cried just yet but I have come close many times😂 but i dont want to be like this!!! I want to enjoy this and enjoy my life before the baby comes because it will never be the same but I dont know how to.
Please help me and advise and share your experience. 🥺
