2nd or more timers...(come in)

happytobemrs.m · September 2009

Do you feel more nervous this time around? For some reason I do and I expected to be more calm.

Maybe I learned/read too much the first time around but overall I just feel really axious and am trying to stay as calm as possible. I don't remember being this bad the first time around.

I just want to go to term this time. OB already informed me I will be on Pelvic rest starting at 28 weeks.

katesmom73 · September 2009

I'm nervous b/c it happened really quickly for us this time so for some reason, I think something bad will happen. I also think I was somewhat naive with the first one - I went with the flow. I'm also older this time around - I'm 36 and I keep worrying about Down's, twins, you name it!

KristinKD · September 2009

I'm nervous because, like katesmom, it happened so quickly for us this time (vs. one year the first time) that I keep thinking it's too good to be true. Plus, I'm a little worried that my boobs aren't sore or growing even though I know they were noticeably bigger at this point last time, but I'm thinking (hoping) that breastfeeding for so long might be to blame.

Otherwise, I don't have as much time to sit and dwell on everything like I did the first time because DD keeps me too busy!

kammlm · September 2009

I, too, agree with katesmom and KristinKD. I got pregnant our first time TTC#2 and I think it must be too good to be true. I had really bad morning sickness with DS and so far nothing so that worries me. I think that, for some unknown reason, I'm even more terrified of a m/c or blighted ovum. Thank goodness I have DS to help distract me! I can't wait to get my first ultrasound (don't know when that is yet) so I can relax a little!

I echo all of your feelings and thoughts. I knew there was a chance this month but honestly, this is a huge SHOCK to us! We are delighted and know it will all work out but I am definitely more relaxed than last time.

My boobs are still flat pancakes (must be from nursing) and other than a bit of bloat and waves of nausea I would not know I was pregnant. It does make me a little nervous and I have thought that this is WAY too good to be true but I also know that everything happens for a reason and I am just going to go with it. Either way, whether planned or not, we have no control and I am ok with that and will simply try to enjoy the pregnancy this time around rather than worry myself over things I cannot control

lite-bright · September 2009

I feel like I'm a lot less focused on being pregnant this time around. Partially b/c I'm so focused on DD and she takes a lot of time and energy; partially because things/symptoms/random aches/stretching aren't new or unexpected this time, so it's easier to take them in stride and not pay as much attention to them.

gypsywitch · September 2009

I'm not nervous about this pregnancy, after 3 losses, I feel good about this one. I'm more concerned with what life is going to be like adding a 2nd baby to the mix. DH and I are both active duty air force and our days are long and tiring. Between 10+ hrs of work, school and managing a home, I'm afraid we'll be so drained and have no energy left for eachother or our marriage, or to enjoy anything.

Mrs.Hagzz51306 · September 2009

the first time around i was calm and just enjoyed it. this time it happend 1st try this time around im nervous really nervous i think its bc now im going to have 2 children to take care my world that is finally settled with ds is about to be flipped again and i want to make sure ds still gets the attn. he is used to and i was so sick with ds for the whole nine months i worry if that happens again how i will be able to function and take care of ds. ugh so many worries but im so excited at the same time!

shari_rngleson · September 2009

overall i feel less anxious than last time. last time i was counting down every day of the pregnancy. this time i am really going to try and enjoy the next 8 months alone with my daughter.

the only thing i am nervous about is the fact that i know how miserable and uncomfortable pregnancy is and i know what is to come this time!

asned · September 2009

I am way more nervous about managing a toddler and a newborn than being PG. The PG part is easy, I know what to expect. Even if I have a difficult PG this time around too I still know what's going on. I am and expect to be way more laid back about the PG.

Eviebee · September 2009

I am feeling relaxed. I'm still worried about m/c but it is more in the back of my mind. I know what to expect and know I can handle whatever's coming my way. I'm keeping the SAL mantra of I am pregnant today and I love my baby. I'm also not all anxious to tell ppl the news this time, so keeping it a secret is going easier.

blondey · September 2009

Yes, I feel more nervous this time around. I was probably a little naive the first time. But after going through a whole pregnancy, on the bump boards, reading the internet, reading pregnancy books, etc. I know more about what can go wrong. I probably shouldn't think of pregnancy in this way, but I do. Also, I had a m/c between my DD and this pregnancy, so that lays on my mind too.

I do find myself starting to relax and enjoy it more, now that I am approaching the end of the first tri.

minankelleher · September 2009

i am freaking out this time.... too good to be true, no symptoms, etc...

just nervous and i dont have a dr appt until 9/22.

i feel so blessed lucky that pregnancy #1 was easy and a perfect DD came out after 41 long weeks - but i am just super nervous this time..

punkfiction · September 2009

i was so relaxed for dd2. everything went smoothly, i knew what to expect, etc. im slightly more nervous this time bc i had a m/c in june, but i'll feel better after my appt on the 17th.

rissa06 · September 2009

i'm very nervous this time around. . ?i guess because I know what to expect and also this is a huge surprise. . ?and with the way things have gone this year. . .i'm scared . .?

Graciesue · September 2009

MrsJulieT:
I'm actually a lot more relaxed this time. I think I have to be because I have a 2 year old to focus on.

This! : )

KristenBtobe · September 2009

I am nervous about managing a toddler and an infant. I'm also nervous because I know what to expect this time, so I'm anticipating all the aches and pains of late pregnancy. But overall, I'm excited and feel really lucky that it happened so easily for us this time around.

shanbak · September 2009

I am very anxious about this pregnancy. I had the easiest pregnancy with my first one, an easy delivery and I have a very easy baby.

I don't expect to be that lucky again- I feel like I am just waiting for something bad or different to happen...
