My 43m partner 44w is 5 weeks pregnant and Im freaking out
The thought of a little us sounds amazing, but we live in an expensive city, far from our families (mine is in a different part of the US and hers is in Europe).
We’re both confused about whether to keep the pregnancy. I'm worried about changing our life, which is awesome without a child because we both have good jobs, can travel when we want, and don't have to think too hard about spending. I also travel home often because my parents and grandparents are all order and they need help often. But I also take spur of the moment trips with my friends, cousins and my partner.
When it comes to my social life, things have slowed down, but since I'm in a big city, I can change that whenever I feel like it.
With a baby, all that goes out the window. And I in particular am worried about losing my spontaneity and independence. My gf says she is worried about that too (she goes to Europe for 3 weeks every summer) but I can tell Im worried about it more than her.
Any one else here deal with something similar during their pregnancy?
Did you feel like your life was changing too fast? How did you navigate it?
