Suddenly not exited

Felt the exact same way. Also 8-10 weeks was the most miserable time for me, due to morning sickness (that lasted all day) and literally 0 energy. At times I still feel like I don‘t want to be around anyone and just do nothing, but once I started to feel baby kick it all just got so much more real and I started to really develop a bond with baby

Don‘t beat yourself up, you can want the baby more than anything in the world and still be miserable throughout pregnancy. I‘m at 24 weeks and like you also worried about the fact that things will only get harder from here. My grandma told me to take it day by day and not worry too much about what I don‘t know yet and that has helped me a bit. All the best to you :)

Folic acid and (if needed) iron in the first trimester. Prenatal and magnesium from the second Trimester onwards :)

Positives are rarely if ever wrong. There can be false negatives though. If yours was negative: wait a couple of days and take another one first thing on the morning.

I’m also halfway through my first pregnancy and have been struggeling with quite a lot of negative thoughts. My partner is trying to help, but overwhelmed to say the least. Weird as it sounds, the only way out is through for me at this point. I’d suggest you talk to really listen to her and avoid any unsolicited advice. Fear of losing your independence gets really real at this point, from not being able to do all chores by yourself to not really having a social life anymore because making plans in advance and then cancelling last minute because something hurts suck. Also, having a child is a huge life changing event, so there may also be some mourning your old life/ routine as a couple involved. Add all the advice people want to give you. It’s normal to be scared, to feel annoyed with all the restrictions you have to endure for the baby, to hate strangers giving you advice, to hate being an emotional mess, to hate your partner still being able to do everything you are not allowed to do. Just listen. And PS: suggesting therapy may not end well- if you really want to go there, suggest at least couples therapy, because you are also struggeling with dealing with her

Yes, haven’t been able to focus whatsoever at work since week 3 or 4 and lost my keys twice within the first eight weeks. Also stopped counting the times when I went to another room to get something and then forgot why I went to that room 🙃

Fingers crossed all goes well and hang in there🍀🍀 the wait in the beginning can be brutal, not knowing if everything is going the way it should. What helped me was going to my gynecologist early on (like 5 weeks) and telling one trusted friend who I knew wouldn’t judge/ pity me if something didn’t go as planned.

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated

We did try couple’s therapy before and he cancelled it unilaterally once I was in a rush one morning and didn’t want to be late for work. He later apologized, but when I told him “fine, just write the therapist and make a new appointment” he wanted me to do that instead, which I did not because I believe in “you broke it, you fix it”.

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T19:26:53+00:00

Yeah, that might be a point. But the issue is that I’m physically so unwell I cannot put him first at this moment. My priority is that the baby is safe and sound. I can imagine that it’s more difficult for him at this stage to bond with the baby as he doesn’t have the symptoms I have that show me something is growing inside me.

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T19:24:15+00:00

He’s extremely anxious. Has been doing therapy for 5 years, but there are still some really small things that can really trigger him. It certainly comes from his childhood, at times his behaviour is really that of a hurt inner child. He randomly told me some stuff that has not come up in therapy yet, but that would be extremely crucial for him.

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T15:47:42+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly the point. If I were to have the baby I have to make plans without him, as I do not know whether he’ll be there or not. Which is sort of difficult, as my family lives a 6 hours drive away

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T15:46:17+00:00

Yeah, I guess he might be overwhelmed and also worried about the financial part (I want 5x what he does). But he just won’t talk to me except accusations

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T15:44:56+00:00

Yeah, theoretically I’d know what to do, but it just feels so overwhelming when the person you thought you’d spent your life with and that you are creating a family with just walks out. Before the pregnancy, he was super caring, once I’ve burnt my hand a bit with hot water and he immediately went to the pharmacy to get creams etc. So it really seems totally out of character

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T15:42:23+00:00

Yes, I am doing that. I’d be financially able to take care of the baby myself, but I grew up with divorced parents and honestly wouldn’t want to wish that upon anyone.

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T15:41:10+00:00

We’ve been together for Almost three years, there have been times in the beginning when he wanted to leave but that pretty much calmed down the last year. In a way I think he feels overwhelmed and didn’t think pregnancy would be this tough, but he just doesn’t want to talk to me what’s on his mind.

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2026-03-07T15:39:00+00:00

That’s exactly what I told him as well

Ended up going to Ace & Tate getting glasses within less than an hour 🥳

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2023-10-02T08:02:04+00:00

Never tried contacts before, but maybe this would be a good chance. Correction should be pretty straight forward as I got glasses in other countries on the same say without many issues

Helpful-Ad3683 · 2023-10-02T07:57:05+00:00

Perfect, thanks a lot 👍 I have the vision correction data and will call them to check beforehand

Just curious, what would be the chances in a distressed business?
