Congratulations on being pregnant! I am the same was, when I first found out I was pregnant I was so excited but I was scared to almost get to excited due to all of the risks. But I posted on here and some very helpful mamma told me this... Every morning I should get up tell myself I am pregnant, I am healthy and I love my baby! And it helps with your nerves and your worries

Congratulations and welcome! I'm a first time mom, so yes freaking out happens, but I think that is normal.

Congrats! I too am freaking out. I'm a project manager by trade, so it makes me crazy when I'm not in control!  At the same time, I keep reminding myself that it's something good that's happening and that it is an exciting time. But I am definitely with you...not sure what's happening with my body (my first appointment is tomorrow) and I just want medical confirmation that it's ok, you know?

I tink we're all right there with you freaking out! The good news is, it goes back and forth between terror, and ecstatic joy! Start righting questions down now for the doctor!

You took the words right out of my mouth!! I am admittedly a huge control freak, so this whole babymaking business is definitely outside my comfort zone. Hopefully going through this process with teach me to let go a little!!
