Hey Tegan,
Life works in mysterious ways and with being on the pill, having PCOS etc, this PG was obviously meant to happen!!
You know those questions you ask yourself? Don't worry - you'd be asking them no matter what age you were!!
I am 34 and having my first baby, and was thinking for the first time the other day "Oh my God......... what the hell do I know about babies?" Next thought was "well too late now" and I just laughed.
It doesn't matter what age you are, someone is going to have an opinion on it.
In your case "oh you're too young, you have your whole life ahead of you ra ra ra"
In my case "oh how are you going to manage at your age, you'll be too tired, you'll be 50 when.... ra ra ra"
I take no notice of them whatsover
I know damn well, that NOW is the time I am ready to have a baby. Not at 18, not at 25, and still not at 28. I am far more patient now than at 18 or in my 20's, and definitely far more ready for this change in my life.
So, although I am at the other end of the spectrum I can understand totally where you are coming from. I admire you for taking it in your stride and doing the best you can for you and your baby.
You are obviously very mature and doing a lot of positive stuff - I've noticed with your posts over time that you are becoming a bit of an "expert" on this whole pregnancy caper - you've done a hell of a lot more reading than I've done, that's for sure
If we were all meant to have a baby in our mid 20's we'd start having periods at 24 and go thru menopause at 27!!
Enjoy and all the best
Sharon
