I feel like I have to qualify every PG statement

with "if all goes well" or "as long as nothing bad happens", etc.

It's really bumming me out, actually. I feel like every time I talk about this baby in the long term I have to remind myself that nothing is guarenteed

I hear ya! Its the same for me.

I do it too. Partly why we don't plan to tell anyone until 16 weeks. I don't want to utter those words to anyone but DH.

I feel the same way! I'm still not telling many people at work! I'm actually trying to hide it still because of that fear. We're in the same boat

I feel the same way!! It sucks...

Yes I know, I did that especially for the first 3 months. It's like a safety net but I hope all will go well and you will sense it too!

I do that too

I felt like that for quite a while and wouldnt allow myself to even think it was possible for things to be ok. It is so hard in the first trimester. Hang in there!

I feel the same exact way!! ?

I felt this way early on in my pregnancy too. But just try to take everything a day at a time and remember the mantras.

I felt the same exact way. I think all of us SAL ladies could have written your exact same post.

Seeing the HB, NT scan and moving into the 2nd tri were huge milestones for DH and I. I believe it was at those points, where I went from "if having the baby" to "when having the baby".

Though it is easier said then done, try to enjoy the pregnancy as much as possible.
