Worry Wart

So I found out I was pregnant about a week and a half ago...I'm now 6 weeks along...not only is it just a shock that I'm pregnant but I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids..so I am already terrified that I'm not showing normal symptoms (not getting sick, no carvings and light nipple soreness) . But I have a completely supportive significant other, who is a great full time father to his son.but I catch myself feeling like I want to do this alone...Not that I would ever do that, but did anyone else have a want to just do everything on there own, and your significant other be upset for not including them? I would NEVER cut him out of the babies life, but is it normal to feel this way at times?

I'm the same way. Like when he doesn't want to help with our two yr old I get upset but in reality I would rather do it alone anyways. Like with this new one I don't want his help at all. I wouldn't mind help from like my mom or somebody else and even then I want limited help but I don't want it from him with anything. I don't try to make the appts so he can go and I'm kinda happy when he says forsure he can't go. Idk if that part has to do with the fact he was gone my whole first pregnancy (military) or what but I wouldn't mind if he just disappeared at this point.

Wow that's exactly how I am.. could not have said it better myself...just hard for me to make myself part of someone else's family and have to count on someone else.

I ALWAYS feel like that, although my significant other would never let me do it alone, I always catch myself saying stuff & throwing little hints out saying I wanna do it alone & he gets so mad. I would never cut him out of the babies life either but I think for me it's because I don't like relying on anyone else. I don't trust people & used to doing everything on my own anyways. Like I trust him completely to be a good father but just the fact that I'm used to being so independent I find myself thinking about how if if wanted to I could do it on my own no problem. Just something we gotta get over & be thankful for because many guys out there now a days don't wanna be involved or there for the kid.
