Nervous

I feel like it is only natural to be nervous when you are pregnant again after a loss but I don't want being nervous to take over this wonderful experience. I feel like I went from being so so so excited seeing my bfp to so scared about the thought of what has happened before. Any advice?

I'm obviously not there yet, but I fear it. I am so excited right now and I don't want to let my past dictate my feelings about the future. But I'm afraid that once I get to the point that I lost or found out I lost the twins, I'll be a lot more nervous.

I know it is hard to do but you can't let your nerves Stop your happiness. My best advice is take a slow deep breath and remember "You are pregnant today and You love you baby!" "The past is in the past but this baby is in your future" (please don't take offense if you are not Christian -->) "God has designed you to succeed. And you Will succeed"

I've had lots of ups and downs but I notice I get most nervous in the days leading to an appointment.  So I try to save stuff at work and at home that I know will keep me busy for the couple of days before an appointment and they tend to help move the day a bit quicker. 

And then I let myself love the day or two after a good appointment since they've been so rare in my past.

That was me about 5-6 weeks into the pregnancy.  I was jumping up and down, thrilled about the BFP.  Then the next few days, I was a big ball of nerves and worry.  I saw an ad in the paper for baby stuff with a cute little baby in the center, and I just started crying because I was so scared that something would go wrong and I'd never have a baby.  (Eesh... heightened hormones!)  The more days that go by and the more positive doctor visits and u/s you have, the more you feel confident.  Right now, I've been feeling really positive and excited.  I am a bit nervous about the upcoming NT scan but I'll deal with that when that day comes.  GL to you and congrats on your BFP!
