Pregnancy & Parenting i dont want children but my wonderful husband does Nov 11 2008

bigtum: i can only share my own experience. I knew for my entire 20's that i wasn't ready to have children. I was not even sure I want them. Eventually, one day... in the future... My mother even offerd me as a gift on my 27th birthday a baby doll that was crying and saying "mama"...  When I "entered" the 30's I suddenly discovered I would like to have a child and tryed for 2 years to get pregnant. I finaly succeded and i am now 7 weeks into the pregnancy (so, just found out more or less) and a few days ago I was all panic that i am not going to be a good mother, I will not be able to raise my child as I would love to do.. Then i discovered that the simple fact I am asking myself of this will help me not to do huge mistakes. I have no idea how will turn out but I am willing to take the risk (and i am not a huge risk taker either).

By the way, me and my hubby were thinking yesterday that our unborn baby needs a brother or a sister... How sick is that?????

Thank you for your suggestion and for the reassurance... I do have some DVD's from the time when I tried to lose weight (and managing it...) and I'll pick the exercises that are not very ... hard. As about walking, i am trying to do that at least 2 hours per day. My doctor told me actually "No pool" until the second semester, so I imagine no water aerobics too... And by the way she said i should gain around 10-15 pounds if possible. So what I'm doing now: lots of veggies and fruits, as much milk and yogurt  possible and some meat. Of course some treats now and then if I feel like it. I'm only 7 weeks and looking forward to the next 30 or so ones.

By the way, luvmyboy, good luck to you too... and thank you again!

Thank you, benjmum for your reply and wishes. 

I was thinking I can not gain weight, not fat, but due to the fact that I am not native speaker.... I know there are a lot of reasons for gaining weight but unfortunatley, I don't feel very well now (and not due to the pregnancy) and I imagine that with extra kilos or pounds I will feel even more awful :-(.

As for the exercises, I was planning some swimming but my doctor told me to wait until the second trimester for that :-((. I'm trying to find some specialized exercises for pregnant women but no luck until now...

Anyway, I rather want to appreciate this times, not to be constantly affraid that bad things might happen due to my weight ... After all, all tests proved I am healthy despite the weight. :-))

False. Valentine's Day is not celebrated in my country. We have our own "valentine's Day" in a different period of the year.
