At 8 weeks, I’m just emerging from feeling so sick, the worst flu/hangover ever, and am just starting to feel excited. Thank you so much for sharing and for helping lead me into excitement. 🙂

At 32, I was in exactly the same spot you were, and now that I’m six weeks along I’m having all the feels. Sometimes it’s incredible joy, sometimes it’s incredible sadness. It’s hard to say out loud because I feel guilty for not being happy about it all the time. I haven’t had my first scan yet — I have to wait until 10 weeks — but I’m hopeful that it will bring on a new dimension to this pregnancy, and deep down I look forward to this experience, all of it.

Our son is now more than a year old and although “the beginning” is now a blur I have to thank you for your honesty, it makes me feel like I wasn’t alone back then.
Motherhood is nothing less than a blessing.
Congratulations you two

I’m 12 weeks along. I just started trying at age 37. I did not think it was possible at all, and now I’m knee deep in fear and awe. And tired all the time. And waiting for genetic tests to make sure this one’s a keeper. The anticipation is terrible, but your account is closest to my own feelings. Thanks for the share!

I resonated with much of your thoughts, and what I love most is your appreciation for the sacred practice that is growing a soul and nurturing yourself/others. This was by far the greatest “pregnancy announcement” I’ve read, and likely because it didn’t feel like an announcement at all. (How do you announce a voyage you’re still navigating? How do you declare a course you’re still charting?)

I have been, for all of my life, on the fence about motherhood. So when I became pregnant (Bee was a bit of a surprise), I met the positive sign with fear/anxiety/worry, and Ken offered the celebratory smile I needed in that moment. (What good, wise husbands we have.) And every moment since has been an exercise in growing our hearts, in learning to love, in committing to each other over and over again.

In the hard times, I remind myself that loving any human (whether that someone shares my DNA, spills syrup on my counter, trails mud throughout my floors) is a choice, an exercise, a practice – the hardest and most wonderful thing that I’ll get wrong and right and wrong again.

You’ve already got it right, friend. It’s going to be a lovely ride.

Hugs,
e.

Danica– thank you so much for sharing!! It is so helpful to hear from other mothers who felt this way. I’m nervous about the first three months… I was a pretty difficult baby and when I think about Joe and my temperament… I think we’re in for a wild ride. Your story made me feel better 🙂 Thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing Emilie. Your story really stuck a cord with me. The first thing I thought when I found out I was pregnant was “what am I going to do about my ADHD?” Because without treatment depression and anxiety made daily life really difficult. Luckily it’s been a somewhat smooth road, and I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. These hormones are no joke. I hope you are feeling better and I appreciate your honesty. Take care of yourself and that babe!
