Well turtle is right. I'd give it some time and decide at a later date. Whatever happens, happens c: good luck to you though. I hope your boyfriend is super supportive and helpful if you are as miserable as you are.

Well my bf has godkids that he treats like their his own and they both are excited for the baby to come so one is probably gonna be enough for us. Thanks for all your advice its very helpful to this first time confused mommy

This is my second pregnancy and after my bf sees how much pain I've been in throughout it, we've decided this baby is going to be it. We're only 22 and 24 years old but it can take a toll on your body. Luckily he has a daughter from a previous relationship and I have a son from someone else as well so this is our first together but they're all close enough in age that we think 3 is a good number to leave it at. :)

You really don't know until you're well into being a mom. You'll be surprised how much you forget about how miserable you felt once you actually have a kid. Furthermore, every pregnancy is different. Just bc you feel bad this time doesn't mean you will in the future. But no, it's not s selfish. Just give it some time. I was the opposite- my first pg was a breeze so I figured sure we'll do this again! This one has been horrrrible! Lol

Well it gets slightly easier but after a certain point it gets worse. I'm 38 weeks and if you get all the bad symptoms then.. good luck my friend. During the second trimester it got easier for me, but the past two months have really confirmed to me that I am not going through this again lol

I'm just one of the unfortunate first time mommies that has to experience every single symptom. And I don't want to have to go threw none of this anymore. But ppl tell me it gets easier as I get farther in the pregnancy. I'm only 14 weeks and 2 days

You aren't selfish. You may change your mind later on but I understand cause I'm only having one. It's really hard on the body
