When can we get excited?

On Friday, June 1st... after a long weekend of swollen ankles and awaiting my period, I decided to take a home pregnancy test in the afternoon after work. It was positive! A very quick and dark positive line! That evening, my boyfriend and I went to dinner and I shared the news.When I asked how he felt about this unplanned surprise, he shared that he was nervous and excited.

All weekend we talked about baby and even started discussing plans for the nursery and how we are going to tell our friends in a few weeks. As much as we both want to go into more detail and really start planning for baby, we are scared that something will go wrong. This is a first child for both of us so we want to be excited but feel as if we have to hold it back.

    I say go ahead and be excited!!  Of course it is still early and something could go wrong, but I would rather think positively than spend my time worrying (not that I avoid worrying completely).  I have basically done nothing except think about the baby and being pregnant since I found out.  Congratulations!

    With DD, I worried the entire first tri and things turned out fine. With my second pregnancy, I decided I wouldn't worry and it ended in a miscarriage. With this pregnancy, I am also deciding not to worry. It really doesn't make a difference, so try to enjoy your pregnancy today.

    I say go ahead and be excited.  Living in the moment and cherishing that today your are pregnant should help drive the excitement. 

    I think we're all a little nervous that so many things could go wrong.  Worrying about those things won't help any.

    I'm just enjoying every second of this!

    I agree with this, try to live in the moment as much as possible and enjoy this special time.

    I'm pregnant with our first child and I also want to be excited, but I always place a disclaimer on talk with my husband.  Like if I talk about the future in too much detail, I'll somehow jinx myself!  I know it doesn't work like that in reality, and I'm not a superstitious person, but I won't feel better until my 8-week appointment... and the one after that. Also, I remind myself that I WILL have a child one day whether it's via this pregnancy or a later one.  It's okay for me to think and talk about our lives with a child because it will happen at some point in time.

    Go ahead and be excited! A pregnancy, as scary as it can be, should be celebrated! You will be worrying about this wonderful little person for the rest of your life! It is ok to be nervous and it can be hard to get excited when so many things can go wrong. But so many things can go right too! So be excited, think of names and the nursery and every other wonderful thing a baby brings! There is a bigger chance of everything being ok than anything going wrong!
