    worries about pregnancy

    Hello,
    I just joined this forum site. I am nearly 26, married for almost a year to a wonderful man. My husband is 25 and would love a baby sometime soon but I am so nervous. I had tried going off the pill a few times but end up feeling quite panicked about the whole thing and go back on as it is the safer option! I have had some depression, anxiety and body issues in the past few years and I am terrified of the changes to my body, our lifestyle, our sex life especially lol, I am nervous about how a baby will change our time together. Have other people had these worries, and how did you overcome them. I definitely do want children, but just can't seem to get past these fears. Any advice would be very appreciated. I know I am not pregnant as yet, but hope no one minds me posting in this forum! Thank you

    Hi Farmgirl86 and welcome!

    All you fears and anxieties are quiet normal. At some point we all ask ourselves the same questions before TTC. I guess at some point our want for a baby outweighs our worries, if you know what I mean. The important thing is to not rush into having a child if your not ready. Children are blessings, they really are. I look at my Son every day and I can't believe that I made him and that he is mine, he is a part of me and when I look at him I can see that he was made through our love for each other. You too will feel the same way when hold your baby but to take the steps is a big decision that can't be made alone. Talk to your Husband, tell him your worries. Talking about it will help

    Best of luck with your decision
