Something’s not right

Blah

Blah

I feel like I’m falling apart on the inside.
I’ve been doing so well for at least a couple of years.
I got married.
I work full time.
We are preparing to have a baby.

But something inside of me is not okay and I’m terrified.

Am I sabotaging my happiness because somewhere in my mind I don’t feel I deserve to be okay?

I can’t tell anyone in real time. I don’t want them to think I’m not ready for a baby.
Because I am. All I want is to be a mum.

What is wrong with me?!?

Hi @Hopefulturtle

Welcome to the SANE forums. You will find lots on here that can help and can relate to what you are going through. I have two children so can understand how exciting/frightening this time can be.

There is nothing wrong with you, lots of people can relate. I remember when I was pregnant with my first child that I was scared and doubted that I could do it.

I am going to tag @PANDA in here and also their website https://www.panda.org.au/

They also have a helpline 1300 726 306 that I would recommend you call and they will be able to help you with what is happening and will be able to help with your feelings and concerns too.

Please keep reaching out on this forum here. There are lots that can help
