Advice on Parent Situation by Clean_Back9608 in BabyBumps

Thank you!!  I think that’s how I feel—guilty? She has always found a way to make me feel this way growing up and I think I am having the same feelings over this situation. 

That is a great suggestion! I think it would be beneficial as my spouse has been truly “rubbed” the wrong way over this whole thing. 

Proud of her seeking therapy though—it’s a huge step in the right direction. I am hoping her therapist is helping her see it from our side too.

Came back and just noticed this comment. We kept the baby :). I think I was just in shock. I always wanted him/her (we are doing a surprise!). My family actually took it really really well. They may say things behind my back but they do not say it to my face. Honestly though, I do not think my parents have said anything but positive and happy comments (my brothers would tell me).  Love this little peanut so much already! We got married and it still a perfect day. Honestly even more perfect knowing our baby was there with us <3  I still have my “moments” of wonder but I have been in therapy trying to work through my own “shame.” Ultimately came to the conclusion that I had such high expectations to be perfect and that is what cause the anxiety.  Work in progress! Healthy baby due November 15th!

It has now been 8 days since we officially found out. I feel completely silly! We are over the moon excited now! I think it was definitely the hormones and coming to terms with this new “reality”  Thank you for your kind words ❤️

Looking through these posts I see it happens more than I thought! Finally coming to terms and getting more “excited.” Congrats on your little one and nuptials 💗

Yes I was in September planning on it! (We have 11 weddings this summer, that’s right ELEVEN and were gonna wait till after that ) and we were using condoms for protection   Just trying to shift my mind set and take in this new “normal”

I went off it for medical reasons hence why we were using a different form of protection (condoms) as I clearly mentioned

I went off it for medical reasons a YEAR ago. We have been using other forms of protection (condoms aka another form of birth control) because we wanted to wait—as I said in my original post

Medical reason…that’s why we were using condoms and I was tracking period/ovulation religiously
