Married for 2.5 yrs, WTT, very scared of pregnancy, HELP!!!

[mridula]

Hi guys,
I'm going to be 27 this July and I'm married for 2.5 years. I am eager to have a baby but I'm scared of pregnancy. Every time I think of it, I freak out and I'm never sure of when I will be ready to be a mother.
My cycle is pretty consistent. Please help me.

If you really want to be a mother but not be pregnant, have you considered fostering or adoption?

I'm scared of pregnancy but I want to be pregnant and have my own kids

maybe if you tell us exactly what you are scared of we can help

.... is it morning sickness? general anxiety around realising you're pregnant? weight gain? childbirth? what exactly is the fear? maybe you aren't ready right now... but remember either way- some women are scared and end up absolutely loving being pregnant- like a good friend of mine. Things are always different then what you imagine them to be.

No problem! we all need support sometimes

if that's the fear then I don't think you have anything to worry about!! that is temporary and you'll soon get used to being pregnant.

I did not enjoy pregnancy. I was so excited to get pregnant but then the reality for me hit. I was horribly sick (and I have a phobia of vomiting) for 5 months. Then as I started to get over it, severe anaemia kicked in and I was really poorly. Then by the time the iron infusions & tablets kicked in, I was heavily pregnant & everything hurt

BUT it’s 9 months. Not forever. And it’s amazing how quickly you forget. And it’s so worth it. I’ll hopefully do it all again.

So don’t worry. Most pregnancies aren’t as rough as mine. And even if it is, you can do it! And get a wonderful child of your own at the end

I am very glad that you thought of it. I was also very scared at the begining but eventually when you realize that you are going to be a mother. That feeling is paradise and no one can steal that happiness from you. I wish you all the very best for your pregnancy. I bet you will love it rough or easy.
