I (28f) had a panic attack after my husband (30m) finished inside me.
My husband and I have been discussing the idea of starting a family for quite some time now, and it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for me.
Let me give you some context: My husband is absolutely thrilled and ready to dive headfirst into parenthood. He’s been excitedly talking about the prospect of having children for a while, and his enthusiasm is both heartwarming and a little overwhelming.
On the other hand, I’ve been on the fence about it. Don’t get me wrong; I love my husband dearly, and I can see a beautiful future together with a family.
However, I’ve always had some reservations and fears about becoming a parent.
Last night, we decided to take the plunge and try for a baby for the first time. My husband’s excitement was infectious, and I wanted to share in his joy and start this journey together.
But shortly after our intimate moment, I was hit by a wave of panic and anxiety. It was like a sudden storm of uncertainty, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might not be ready for this life-altering step.
I’m sharing this here because I desperately need advice, reassurance, or even just to hear from someone who’s been through a similar situation.
Is it normal to have doubts and fears when trying for a baby, even when you love your partner and want to start a family? How do you navigate this emotional turbulence?
My husband has been incredibly understanding and supportive, but I can’t help feeling like I might be letting him down.
I want to be a good partner and potential mother, but I’m struggling with my own insecurities and anxieties. Has anyone here experienced a similar panic attack or moment of doubt during their journey to parenthood?
