Anyone else?

I’m hoping I’m not alone. We tried for this baby, we are excited and I have love for him. But for the last couple of days I can’t stop the thought of ‘what the f*ck am I doing’ Why did I decide to have another, why am I doing this, is this a good idea?? I’m really frightened.

This is my first but I've had this thought too and I think it's just because I'm scared. I'm so excited to meet my baby girl but I'm also thinking what the hell am I doing I'm only 19, is this really the right thing to do and so on and so forth. But I feel like deep down I know it is and everything's gonna be okay

I felt this. I felt all of this in the beginning of my pregnancy with my 3rd. He's not here yet and sometimes the thought still creeps into my mind but I know it's gonna be okay. I've always found a way before and this time will be no different

You are not alone. Sometimes I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing but I keep it to myself and don’t say it to my bf. there’s no going back now since she will be here in a month. It took us 2 years. Then I sit back and I’m like. “I’m only 20 I want more years of just us” I’m grieving our old life but I know I will love my new one. but then I reassure myself that we will be okay and still make time for each other.

Totally relate! I go from super excited to meet my baby, to scared thinking how the hell am I going to take care of 2 small children, to sad that my solo time with my son is coming to an end. Then I’m back to excited again. End of pregnancy brings so many emotions but once you have your baby, those thoughts will hopefully disappear!

I'm 30 years old and 34 weeks and thinking more and more this was a huge mistake. I think it's normal for big waves of WHAT THE F*CK to hit randomly. Our lives will all never be the same after this and change is really scary

It's very normal to feel this way I promise. With my first I had a full month postpartum where both myself and my husband were like "who let us do this? We ruined our lives." Now with my second it's even more so. Things like "it'll never not be overwhelming, you were just figuring out having one, you've ruined everything again." 🥴😬😅🫠
