Trying for another baby made me anxious again.

This forum is not "parents only", but it does focus on issues about parenting and children.

Okay, I've been anxiety free now for at least 18 months. My son is almost 4, and recently my husband and I decided to try for another baby. Now it's 1:30 am and I can't sleep because I'm what-ifing. I just feel like what if we are making the wrong decision. Just need some words of encouragement.

Hi, I just had to post because i am in the same boat as you. My anxiety started after I stopped nursing a year and a half ago and it's been miserable since! We have been trying for another the last couple of months and wham, I think I am prego! Boy I thought I was ready for another despite the anxiety, and major anxiety swept over me for like half an hour after I took that test and there were two lines, THEN I REMEMBERED! This was not anxiety I was feeling, this was EXCITEMENT! Very similar feelings actually, I just confused it for a moment, I was really happy about it, just fearing the worst to sweep over me as usual, and then.. happy blissfullness. Good luck, I say go for it too! I'm going to test again in the morning, because that second line was faint, but I am inspired to keep trying if it's not positive again. Happy New Year!
