Ok, so we just decided to start TTC #1 a few weeks ago. Since deciding to start trying I have been really nervous about the whole thing. I'm nervous about everything I will have to go through the 9 months while I am pregnant, what it is going to do to my body and just how our whole life will change after we have the baby. Is this normal? Anybody else have feelings like this? I know that I do really want a baby and I know we are ready so I am hoping I am not the only one who has felt like this. Thanks in advance!
Re: Nervous and a little scared...
I'm nervous about these things too, but it will all be worth it in the end. Even if you have the WORST pregnancy and L&D experiences, I'm sure that once you see LOs face for the first time, you'll forget about the all the pain/ drama/ stress.
GL to you! I hope you get a BFP!
It's completely normal! Having a baby is a big deal! It will all work out. There are lots of unknowns at first...and then they are here and you just do it.
I hope you get a BFP soon.

You aren't alone, as much as I think I have prepared myself for starting to try, I am still really nervous about what is to come, just the TTC process in general too, and what will happen to my body AND my relationship with my DH...it is all very common to experience this so you are definitely not alone!
Having a child is a major life changing event, there is no doubt about it. It is totally normal to be feeling this way. I felt this way when we started TTC. And then when we got pregnant with my son, it was like "my god, what have we done." And with the challenges that come with pregnancy, and parenthood, the rewards are so much greater.
Again, you made a decision that once it happens, it will change the the rest of your life. There is so much uncertainty and you really can't plan for or know totally what to expect. It is nerve wracking and exciting all at the same time. So it is totally normal to feel nervous.
Our first baby is due 1/2/12!

I was really nervous when we first started, but those nerves went away as the months continued on and I still wasn't pregnant. Now I'd give anything and that's all I long for. Now I'm nervous that I'll never be a mom... Those feelings you have are normal. Having a baby is a big life change. Don't worry!
