GTKY: What is your biggest fear?
Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 1/10
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? Terribly afraid of heights. I can fly in an airplane but anything else like walking on really high balconies and etc freak me out.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? I would have to say something really bad happening to my kids is my biggest fear. If it just has to do with me, I am going to say blowing up. I have a fear of smaller engines blowing up when I am riding things like snowmobiles and ATVs. It is weird.

GTKY: What is your biggest fear? Well because I have crazy PGAL brain, losing this pregnancy is right now. On a normal day, its probably spiders, or just being alone. I worry about losing my husband and being alone.

Dating ultrasound on Thursday. I am so nervous about it. I'm just so worried something will be wrong. But the optimistic part is that maybe everything is ok and I can relax and celebrate this pregnancy.
Not really.
It's a snow day, everything is cancelled or closed. I had to cancel out of work because my son was up every hour all night. I'm beyond exhausted today.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear?
Heights. I'm terrible with even open staircases.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? Losing my husband! He's my boo.

GTKY: What is your biggest fear? My biggest fear in general is my family/friends getting hurt/sick. My biggest physical fear is of rollercoasters. I'm not afraid of heights and I've gone skydiving before, yet I really hate the idea of being strapped to something that's moving so fast/up/down.
How far along are you? 8 weeks
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? Like @Shan870 and @maebee87, I am terrified of heights. Like, will literally crumple to the floor and hide my face.

10 weeks!

Friday!!
Heartburn is softening compared to how it started, but still there. Lots of cramps now, like growing pains.
It's already getting harder to find clothes that fit. Now all of my jeans are just a little too tight around the waist when I sit down, even when using the hair-tie trick. I have plenty of things I can wear if it was warm... but its COLD! I guess its leggings, long tops, and sweaters for me. But having such a hard time finding colors. Everything is black.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear?
I always had a hard time answering this question, but given recent events, I would have to say miscarriage.
@Feliciosity I am glad the heart burn is letting up a little bit!
@amandaredinger and @maebee87 I hope your appointments go well Thursday!
@littlebug2010 yay for double digit weeks!

Next Monday, u/s with an OB!
All-day nausea waned between weeks 7&8, and now I just get hungry around 10 am and 5:30 pm and have to eat RIGHTNOW or I'll puke. Exhaustion is demanding daily naps. But hooray for being functional again when I'm awake.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear?
At the moment, that my stress levels will hurt the baby.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? I get really spooked by the supernatural. Demons/monsters/ghosts and that sort of thing. I logically know they aren't real and/or can't hurt me, but anytime I see a commercial for a scary movie it gets me.
MIL and I are very different people and we had some drama when DH and I got engaged and were first married (not while dating, just when it was clear I was sticking around). It caused some conflict between DH and I as well since he often felt put in the middle and manipulated. What helped me was telling him, "When I am upset I don't need you to agree with me--I need you to be on my side. You don't need to tell your mom that she's wrong, just tell her that she's upsetting me and needs to stop." It was a light bulb moment for him. Hope that helps.
Also, sometimes I pretend she's senile and doesn't know what she's saying. Everything she says that isn't quite upsetting but still rude/offensive I just think, "bless her heart" and smile.
I do like the idea that he doesn't need to agree with me to protect me. Unfortunately, even though he was trying to do so, MIL, SO, and I are all too alike in wanting to make the last point, so it didn't really work. She is a nice person that I usually like, though, so there's that.
ETA: This is really nosey of me...I'm sorry, you said it was a known sensitive topic. Don't answer. Imma butt out now.
pros:
Crazy ex doesn't live there.
SO already owns a house there.
FIL has Parkinson's and SO is an only child.
Fifteen min instead of 45 to local ER (but I have 4 EMTs that work at the school next door to me, plus two RNs and an ER doc within two minutes, and the likelihood of baby needing any of that is pretty slim).
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? Just hoping I'm doing everything ok in this pregnancy. I'm scared I'm not eating enough healthy stuff sometimes.
Does anyone worry about how their parents will feel about you not telling them sooner? Especially mothers, when it's their first grandchild? I'm sure they'll just be so excited and it won't be a big deal, but i don't want my mom to feel like she's already missed out on being a support system for 3 months.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? Like others I am always fearful of something happening to or losing my family & loved ones. Scares the shit out of me!
But now... I am worried about a lot of pregnancy/baby things... will they be okay and develop healthily, will something bad happen that's out of my control, fearful of labor and birth...
Major control issues! haha
GTKY: What is your biggest fear? this sounds ridiculous but I have an irrational fear of high blood pressure. It doesn't run in my family but I am just terrified of it. I work in health care and have had a lot of patients that have terribly controlled high blood pressure. The thought of having to go on meds for that is scary.
Does anyone worry about how their parents will feel about you not telling them sooner? Especially mothers, when it's their first grandchild?
Yes! I think my mom will understand as she's laid back and she understands I do things on my own timeline. My MIL? I'm not sure. We think she might be annoyed at us for not calling when the pee stick was wet. She wants to be a little too much up in our business sometimes.
Together: January 2002
Married: May 2008
Baby: August 2017
Clearly we like to rush along at lightning speed...
Totally in the same boat. My mom knows I am super independent, but I'm still afraid she'll feel a little down that I didnt feel the need to come to her with questions or get her advice early on.
My MIL is like that as well -- all up in everyone's business! Which is a reason why we want to keep everything hush until we feel more confident. Because as soon as we tell them the floodgates are open and you can't go back!
@Knottie1427505306 I'm such a control freak, and pregnancy (and I'm sure, parenting) is giving me a major reality check on how little I am in control of. Hoping it's a good life lesson, although a hard one! I know my mom would be sad if I didn't tell her early on (we told parents at 5ish weeks bc Christmas), but she's ultra sensitive and I'm not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ She already got upset that I'm not letting her in the delivery room (aka our home since we're planning a home birth). I know there will be MANY things I do during this pregnancy that hurt her feelings, but it's not about her, so she'll just have to deal. Plus, I think she thinks we are closer than we are, so that doesn't help. *end family drama rant*
How big is baby? The size of a peach
