Now that I’m pregnant, should I work on my writing, start my dog walking business or be a stay at home mom?

I have always been “undecided” as far as my career goes … I’ve had great jobs, but never finished college or had a traditional “career” path. I’ve been a massage therapist, HR Manager, and now I want to start a dog walking business … and all along, I’ve always written — blogging and a novel I’ve worked on for 2 years. Thing is, I’m 11 weeks pregnant now, and that changes everything … I no longer have the luxury I once had — of being “wishy washy”. Should I pursue my writing for real this time, and/or start a business that would be quite rewarding for me (dog walking). I’m so confused, now that I’m pregnant, and I don’t want to start another thing I can’t finish … OR, should I just be a stay at home mom?

P.S. Money is not an issue — I could be a “stay at home mom” if I wanted, but I have always felt that JUST doing this would be a failure … I feel I HAVE to be able to support myself.
