Welcome and Congratulations. The 1st Trimester was the most nerve wracking time of my life. Believe it or not, it really does get better- sometime around 10 weeks for me.
Welcome and congratulations. I'm 39 and this is our first. When I got my BFP I was simultaneously terrified and thrilled. What worked for DH and I was to set little milestones so that the big picture didn't seem so huge. First doctor appt, first heartbeat, first u/s, end of first trimester and so on. It pretty much broke my pregnancy into little packets that were so much easier for us to absorb. I won't lie and say I still don't have my mini freakouts, but yes it does get easier on your nerves as you move along.
This board is a wonderful place to get advice, calm fears and just hang with some very cool ladies! Happy & healthy 9 months to you!

Welcome and congrats on your BFP! 1st trimester was definitely a stressful, worrisome time, but I've found that there is always something to worry about. The best advice I got was to just enjoy it and realize that other than take care of yourself, there is nothing you can really do one way or another. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

Welcome and congrats!
I was relieved after hitting the 2nd trimester, but still found stuff to worry about throughout the entire pregnancy. But then, I'm a worrier.
