I have children from a previous marriage and and now am married again to a wonderful man who does not have children. He has always wanted a child and I wanted to give him one. We found out we were pregnant after only 2 months of trying. Now I find myself scared, not sure if i'm ready to start over with babies and wondering if I should have done this. My youngest is 9 and now i'm not sure if this was the right decision for me. I could never terminate this pregnancy or give the baby up for adoption. My husband is thrilled but I cant tell him how i feel. Please help me with some advice and support.

Never been in your shoes, but as a woman 36 and having her first child, I was worried about how much our lives were going to change when our lo arrived...and OH has it changed...but we LOVE her more than we could have ever imagined. Good luck.

Like the previous poster, I am 36 and this is my first, but I went through the same feelings you are having for the first 9 weeks or so. We have been married for 11 years and when we started ttc, I thought it would take awhile so I would have time to prepare. I got pregnant on the first try and like I said, questioned whether it was the right decision for weeks. Now I am 31 weeks and so excited for my baby to get here. You are pobably just feeling that same kind of beggining pregnancy cold feet. You'll be thrilled before you know it!

I am going through the same thing right now. except this is going to be my first child. and I think I am either being selfish or thinking realistically.I am 41 and 2 months pregnant. and I am also against abortions. but I have not been happy since I found out I am pregnant.
I guess the best advice I can give is I have to keep thinking that this happened for a reason . that it is meant to be or something. and it will turn out great.
Good Luck .... Debi
