I am extremely happy, but also extremely scared to be growing a wonderful surprise baby. I've always wanted children, but I wasted a lot of years with a man who did not, thinking it was about me. My due date is in early July.
I have so many questions, so I hope this is the right board!
I don't know any women in town and have no immediate family. I've tried to locate support groups, but none seem to be of interest to me. I do plan to take prenatal yoga.
I obviously have to continue working, so HOW do you figure out daycare? How will I be able to leave my child with a stranger? How will I concentrate on work? Can I afford decent child care? How do I know what kind of car seat to buy? I was working from home, but sometimes I work at an office cubical. (No one from my team or division is nearby)
To top it off, I just signed a contract on a small house. I think it will be accommodating with some baby gates.
The father of the child has three children from a previous marriage. He sees them almost every day, which is good. He plans to move in with me, so I realize that they will be visiting my new house. I worry about them being around a newborn.
I'm obsessing, praying, being delusional, crying, feeling nauseated, lonely, sleeping, spacing out, and not working enough. It's too early to tell anyone, but I don't even know who I'd tell. I'm 10 weeks, 5 days today.
I would appreciate any advice, suggestions, or comments.
Thank you, ladies!
