Hey all! I've been lurking since getting an unexpected BFP last week. We won't have an EDD until our ultrasound next week but my midwife today suggested I'm 8-9 weeks along so we should be expecting a February baby. My home board is Jan 17 since the move off TCF. My H and I have 2 boys already. DS1 turns 5 at the end of the month and DS2 is 18 months. We also have 3 dogs (2 corgis and a border collie) and a cat but we also foster dogs for a local rescue. Our house is a circus! I work full time right now but with a 3rd on the way, we are debating me staying at home but it'll depend on H's new job search. Anything else, just feel free to ask

Thank you everyone! I'm struggling a little with being excited. We were getting ready to have an appointment to get on birth control when we found out I was already pregnant. I've been kicking around the idea of going to my primary about some depression that I've been struggling with over the last year and I feel like I'm not where I should be mentally for this baby. My midwife and I discussed it a little and of course she told me not to try and make myself feel anything I'm not ready for just yet and I'm trying to remember to let myself get there at my own pace and not everyone else's.

Welcome! Congratulations. But with a surprise, definitely give yourself all the time you need to process!!
I've been flirting with depression off and on the past year, and debated starting an antidepressant vs TTC. So I'm definitely keeping a close eye and a bit nervous about PPD. It sounds like you have great care, someone looking out for your mental health. I hope this pregnancy is a smooth and positive experience!

Congrats and welcome. You’re definitely not alone having mental health concerns along with pregnancy. It can be overwhelming. Best of luck. We should do a wellness check in— I think sharing can be really helpful.
