Having a hard time...

I'm having a hard time getting excited about being pregnant. I have wanted to get pregnant before I had even met my husband. Before we were even married, my husband told me he was ready to start trying whenever I was ready. I had the LEAP procedure done in July. So we didn't start trying til 2 months ago. I am now pregnant. Don't get me wrong I am happy about being pregnant. I got a positive test on Dec 19. I think I am going to be due around Aug 28.

I am scared that when I go to my first doctors apt Jan 13 that they won't be able to find a heartbeat. I also heard that the radio of a miscarriage is 1 in 3. Now, before getting preggo I have done well. I have been off ALL medications for 3 months. I have been taking only a  pro-biotic (I have really bad IBS, Doctor did approve for me to take it), and my prenatal for 3 months. 

Also, I have taken 4 tests so I know its positive. I like seeing the 2 pinks lines. :)

Any suggestions? Anyone else going though this?

    This board makes me nervous. We are taking our daughters to my us on the 4th and I am terrified that there won't be a hb. But I try to take one day at a time.

    I had a miscarriage this summer, so I understand the fear.  It is very common, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do to prevent it.  Have you been to the doctor to get confirmation bloodwork?  Perhaps that will put your mind at ease.

    For me personally I am not sure how excited I feel yet.  I think I am afraid to get attached and then lose the pregnancy and be crushed again.  I think I will feel better once we hear a heart beat, and then once I'm out if my first trimester.  I know too much about heart development for my own good.

    Just try to relax and enjoy this time!  Congratulations!

    Try to relax and enjoy it now... At least for now you know you have your little sweet pea! I have these same fears! It's normal esp since this early there isn't much to let us know our munchkins are ok. Don't worry til someone tells you to start worrying. I hope this helps. Hope everything is well.

    I completely understand.  We have heard the heartbeat, but I am still afraid to tell family tonight at dinner like I had planned.  I feel like until I am out of the first tri, I won't be able to let myself be too excited :(

    We have tried for so long and had so many close chances, that I just don't want to get excited, either. It's hard when you just don't know if this will be your take home baby or not!

    This. For as much good info, and great people I get to interact with, it can at times feed into my "bad thoughts". I know last time, I had to take a "bump break" to clear my head of some of it. Hearing sad stories not only made my heart break over and over again, but also made me stressed out.

    I too still have this unwarranted fear that something bad is going to happen.....it really does make it hard to get too excited. I'm just looking forward to our first appt. so I can put my mind at ease at least for a little while. The best advice I've gotten is to enjoy every minute of being pregnant! I agree with maybe taking a "bump break". I love reading and sharing with all the ladies on here but for a first timer.....it's a lot of information all at once. Congrats and best wishes.

     P.S. I feel like I've created a ticker 3 times but it still doesn't show up when I post....any suggestions?

    I am going through a feeling like "am I really pregnant??" right now....I mean, I obviously know I am....saw a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks....but I cannot wait to have or first official appt next Monday and get that heartbeat again....to be sure all is well. I haven't been sick or sore breasts...so its even harder to feel anything. Just praying and thanking God for each day!  The internet is good for a lot...but it also has all the sad/bad stories of worst case scenarios that we'll find and cause worry. At least we can get it out on here! We told our families this weekend which was SO fun! I just want to 'feel' pregnant soon hehe!  Just amazing to really think about what is all going on in there :)
