It still doesn't feel real

sbuxsweetie · May 2012

I am 8 weeks today and am still wrapping my head around the idea that we're having another baby. Maybe it's because this pregnancy was unplanned, but in any case it is all very surreal! They didn't do a u/s or let me hear the HB at my first appointment, they just did bloodwork and took a urine sample to confirm and run some tests. My next appt isn't until June 26th, at which point we'll have the NT scan and finally get to see our little peanut. I'm hoping that will make it more real. Is anyone else still in disbelief?

Girl, once it feels real, physically, you'll wonder wth you were thinking. ESPECIALLY once that little thing turns about 4yo and especially if it's a girl. You may find yourself in moments of panic trying to shove her back in the hole she came out of in hopes of an immaculate reversal...........

ME! I had previously convinced myself I couldn't get pregnant because my hubby and I were trying and it just wasn't happening. As soon as we stopped I got pregnant. I took a test just to rule it out when my period was late but when it came up positive I couldn't wrap my head around it. I took two more tests but still wasn't convinced until I got a positive from the blood test. I think once I see it also it'll seem more real although I did get an u/s at the ER yesterday but they didn't show me any pics

Just told me the heart rate and what the baby measured at (a week further along than I thought I was).

I've seen my baby 3 times, all with a HB, and still I'm in disbelief. I have another appt. on Tuesday, and it's going to be a long week waiting for it. My loss milestone for when the baby stopped growing last time is Friday, so I wanted an appt. next week to confirm that there is still a HB then. I'm lucky my OB just lets me come in when I feel the need, but it still hasn't made me believe this is really real yet.

This pregnancy was just as planned as the last & it seems very unreal. Because of my issues with my first pregnancy (GD & PIH) I'm already getting lots of test, already took the 1 hour GD test, extra doctor appointments & it still hasn't clicked.

I have my first u/s on June 13th (well, it's my second technically because I had a crappy one done at the ER at 6 weeks and a couple of days because of bleeding, but it wasn't a good picture, just enough to see, yup baby, yup little HB flicker)... so maybe then it will really sink in?

Same here. I don't know if it's because I'm so preoccupied with DS or what. It's weird. With #1, it was all I thought about. This time it's just not sinking in... Maybe it's because now that DS is here and I'm so amazed by him and his little personality every day, it's harder to imagine having another one who will be his/her own little person, too. I can't imagine loving another one this much but I know I will. Hard to explain... but I'm definitely having a harder time wrapping my my mind around this one.

This is me exactly too.
