Hi Leah,
Yeah, I figured you'd made a typo in your previous post.
Anyway, I'm just here to tell you that ambivalence is a normal part of early pregnancy--even planned ones! Trust me, once your baby is here (and even before that) these fears that seem so huge right now, won't even matter to you! You will also find that you won't be "huge" and pregnant forever. I've had 4 babies and I'm a very small lady who is in pretty good shape, I might add. : ) Personally, I don't believe anyone should wear a bikini, no matter how great their body looks in one. But that's me....
You'll also learn that having a baby doesn't end your chance to go places and do things. Many places can be visited with your baby. And if you have friends and family, you'll have the opportunity to go places without baby from time to time.
And most importantly, once you have your baby your priorities will most likely change. What you view as important right now, will most likely be different when you get to know your little one. You won't feel like you're HAVING to "give things up", you'll be happy to do without those things.
Just know that your feelings are normal. These fears do subside. And once baby is here, you'll feel so different---trust me!
I'm praying for you.
