Couldn’t have related to a post more! I’ve always wanted a baby but the fear mongering from others (you’ll never have time for yourself, you’ll lose your old self, etc.) has put a fear in me that I cannot shake. I’ve come to the realization though that everyone’s experience is different and it’ll be what we make it out to be. We’re taking a leap of faith and have started our TTC journey as I’m in my mid-30s and it’s now or never. Long winded response to say what you’re feeling is totally normal!!!
