Is this really OCD?

Okay so long story…. I have two children and my husband and I have been talking about have a third for a little bit. Well we decide this month to “try” meaning I tracked ovulation and he decides not to use protection. Well, I got pregnant. As soon as I saw those two lines I felt so mixed. The second day I cried because I was not ready for my second to not be the baby. But all of the sudden I have been having this way of anxiety and terrible thoughts. This is where trying to decide if this my OCD creeping back in… Thoughts like, “I don’t want this baby” “ what did I do” “maybe I will miscarry” “I would be fine with that”. All of which makes me feel very anxious. It makes me question. If this is OCD I know how to handle it. Wondering if is hormones or me really realizing the reality of it all.

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

Is this happening to you?

Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
