1st Trimester
New and Scared...Hello
Hello Everyone!
Very new to all of this. I was feeling a lot of the pregnancy symptoms (nausea, super tender breasts, emotional, lower back ache, tired, and some slight cramping similar, but less than a normal period) so I decided to take a pregnancy test on Tuesday even though my pd isn't due until tomorrow or Friday. It came up positive right away. Now I'm so scared of the next 2 days and praying that it all goes well and nothing happens. I have only told my DH (of course!!) and one friend. I am so nervous and scared for the next few weeks and hoping this sticks because I want this so badly. I feel kind of lost not having anyone to talk to so I thought I'd check this out and hope I can calm my nerves a bit just by venting.

Re: New and Scared...Hello
There's not something magical that happens on the day your period is due. If you've had a positive pregnancy test then you're pregnant. To ease some of your worries try giving your doctor a call and scheduling a blood test to confirm pregnancy. If you've had a positive HPT they should do a test for your hormone levels to confirm the pregnancy hormone is present.
Above all relax calm is better for the baby.
I know exactly how you feel. You can't worry or stress over something you have no control over.
you said u have been praying, and that is all u can do. Be happy!
I lost my baby at 20 wks, n after a year and a half of not trying I am pregnant! It is an emotional rollercoaster, but keep calm. Don't stress cause it is bad for the baby! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!
It's normal to be scared and a little concerned. I would go ahead and call a Dr.'s office (if you haven't already and schedule an appointment).
Not that it will make you feel better but maybe more 'normal', I'm still a little scared and I'm 8 weeks tomorrow! Seems just a little crazy that there is a small human growing in me. I've heard the heartbeat and had an ultrasound to confirm and it's right on target. :-) I think it's a totally NORMAL reaction to be nervous.
Everyone is right though, try not to stress. Easier said than done, but Good Luck!
