doubts

I'm about 11weeks pregnant and lately it seems like all my boyfriend and I do is fight. I love him very much but as of late I'm wondering if were making the right decision in having our first child together.. is this normal? Or are we jumping into a mistake?

Thanks guys :) I think part of it is just my hormones and emotions get the better of me. But it does help to know I'm not alone. Maybe the space thing would do us some good seeing as we live and work together so we're almost always together and driving each other batty lol

Transitioning from a couple to parents was really hard for my husband and I, its a huge change, and there are so many new things to worry about, it was the just difficult time in our marriage, through pregnancy and that whole first year, but we both really tried and worked it out,  our first is almost 6,  we are great parents, and very happily married.  If you really love each other, and are really committed to making it work you can.  The best thing you can do is not try and force him to be different, and work only on the problems you bring to the relationship.  If he is a good man he will do the same in return.

All three of those responses were awesome : ) It's a trying time for the both of you I'm sure. Men get nervous just like us, if not more!! You guys can work through it. Just try talking rather than arguing. I like to call it debating : ) Sit down and maybe try to figure out what exactly is bothering the both of you and see what compromises you can come to.

Even with a planned pregnancy, pregnancy and life with a child is stressful..you will argue, you will have bumps, but as long as you two love each other and are willing to work through the issues, you'll be a million times stronger and happier in the end!

You're both going through a new experience so you're bound to butt heads over things. You have tons of hormones going through your body and he probably has tons of worries going through his. If it would help, maybe you should take a time out and spend a few days apart. It won't always be so hard, just focus on the positive :)

Could be both , I have doubts cuz I know this is a life changing situation my husband and I are making but we planned this but it's gonna be hard ya know. Being a ftm I think it's impossible to prepare 100% but its a team effort so the outcome is up to you both. Just pray and do your best as a mom that's all we can do :) good luck!
