Hi Nadeesha, I think it is very normal to feel excited when we are expecting. This new life that we are creating is going to change our lives and our priorities in life. Therefore, it is normal to feel like you want to prioritize on your child over the job which is usually less exciting especially if the job is not your passion but just a means to life. I would say that not to be harsh on yourselves and perhaps you can work out a schedule where you got to work because you are under an employment and during your rest time you could carve out some time to spend time with the little one in your womb as well.
