Ok, it's my first time to say it outloud. I'm pregnant again. DH is overjoyed but I'm not quite there yet. I know this will pass and I will be excited again at some point but all I can think about is, 9 more months of this! Not that my 1st pregnancy was hard, quite the opposite and I had a great birth so what's my problem?

Argh, sorry I'm so unfocused. Just wanted to practice getting the information out there. Guess I'll be lurking here for a while. At least I'll get to buy some new tiny diapers!

Hi I just wanted to wish you some Congrats!!! I see your in Tucson I am in Willcox so we can be pregnant together

This is my third baby, and our last! You will get there when you hear that little ones heartbeat and the baby moving around. That will wipe away any doubts or concerns you have. This is your little babe. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

We're still having problems discussing it...So, we don't. Much. I'm kind of indifferent because I have 4 kids already, so, I'm busy 24/7. However, when I think about it, I do get to hold a beautiful newborn again. Love it. Love it.

Congratulations!! I needed a little "warming up" period as well...no one said being a woman wasn't complex.

Congratulations!

I too have moments of what-did-I-get-myself-into kind of thinking. My whole body was aching to get pregnant in August. It happened and I felt great for the first few weeks but when the yuckies settled in I had a few days on the phone cryin to Dh.

I had these same initial; feelings with dd#2 and it passed when I felt movement/felt better and she is the coolest cat I could have wished for!!!

I am also practising with going public...half the response to us having a third are the wow's/awesome's/congrats...half are the did you plan it's/ you are BRAVE'S!!/etc.

I don't mention those doubtful feelings much because so many folks are trying to concieve for ever and ever..kwim? Just want you to know you sure arn't alone!

HI- Congratulations! Please join us on the June Mommas thread when/if you would like to!
I can understand what you are saying - when I got my

I flashed back to my

with dd, who was not planned, a big shock, etc. With her I was freaked out and had to tell dh,who I knew wouldn't be thrilled...it was just bad timing for us, and we were very apprehensive about having a baby till around month 5 or 6.

This time, we have tried since April, so we knew it was coming... and we weere eagerly awaiting it!! But it sure felt different than I thought it would to stare at the

. I am excited, and know I will grow to love this baby very much, but it all feels overwhelming and fast and freaky and "what were we thinking??!?"

Just wanted to let you know I think it is very healthy to come to happiness in your own time. It takes a while to fall in love!

I can relate to all the mixed feelings.
This pg was not a planned one for us.
Dh was not excited and is still adjusting to the reality.
I have gone back and forth at times~ feeling like "oh no, what is this going to do to our relationship/family/life,etc" and feeling excited, magical, scared, not ready, anxious, hopeful, happy, and many other emotions...
Still, whenever I feel the baby move, I am so moved. And as dh comes around more and as he begins to feel a little excited about meeting the baby, I know that it was meant to be and everything will be okay.
A lot of the issues I have been experiencing and that dh has been experiencing were also experienced w/ my pg w/ ds. In the end we know we needed him and love him and would do nothing different.
I think if we were all to feel only joy about our pregnancies, and feel no fear, no stress, no doubt, that would be very odd! These emotions and doubts are all part of the process, IMO.
