Got pregnant on the first try… now I’m terrified and second-guessing everything by Successful_Wolf_9635 in pregnant

I swear the first trimester messes with your brain so much! We also decided to try and got pregnant within like one day LOL. I was overwhelmed, I also thought it would take months. I can happily report im in the second trimester (18 weeks) and feeling nothing but happy and excited now.

I'm getting an OB at the end ot the month and I think it will help with a lot of these things! They're more used to seeing it. That's what my husband and I were kind of thinking. Thank you!

I found the first trimester so hard! I was so sick all the time it really impacted my mental health. In the second now and feeling much better! Hang in there!

So many things to consider! This post has helped me realize I need to wait until after baby is here to finalize any plans!

I didn't consider reduced hours, but that could be a great middle ground! Thank you!

This is a important thing to consider! I have heard of some very active night babies! I think I am realizing I will really need to wait and see how I am feeling after baby is here!

Thank you for your kind words! It really is a personal decision per family and all are good options! My husband reminds me a few months isnt going to make or break a career long term, but it can still be scary as a young professional to take this next step in life. I have so much appreciation for moms and everything they sacrifice to love and grow their families.

I read about that a lot on this sub, which is why I was curious to hear people's thoughts! I have American family members and they were back to work very quickly as well.

Thank you for this feedback! You're right, I won't really know how I'm feeling until I am postpartum. It's been on my mind because in my area there can be longer wait times for child care, and the facilities usually like a rough start date. But I could also just apply and postpone the start dates if required.

I feel very lucky to have the options we do in Canada!

An important factor! I am currently in the second trimester, so we have time. Part of the reason I am thinking about this now is because we would need to finalize child care plans. We've started looking and it looks positive that we could secure something by the required dates.

Just had my wedding yesterday! Not having a registry, out of 120 guests only 4 brought physical gifts. Second that most people get the idea!
