Hey ladies, how about another round of cart before horse?

Neffanie · January 2013

I hope I don't offend anyone with this post, but I wanted a peek into your minds about what you are LEAST looking forward to (if and) when we all get our BFP's.

For instance, I have a horrible fear, borderline phobia of puking. I think that will probably be the hardest part of pregnancy for me. Also, I can imagine freaking out if people want to touch my stomach. I like my personal space bubble intact! Then again, I have a fear of my boobs getting painfully ginormous! I am a DDD/E right now so in my mind I'm carting around these bowling balls in my shirt with the accompanying watermelon belly.

So how about you gals? Any fears or things that go through your mind that you aren't looking forward to so much?

I am afraid of comments that people will make. When a coworker was pregnant, a few dumb people made alot of comments about how big she was getting. If someone said that to me, it would be everything in me not to cuss them out.

Honestly, not a thing. You can also damn well bet that I will not be one of "those" women who complain on FB either.

Yes All of this.. I will be welcoming anything and everything that comes from a BFP. With a huge smile on my face..

I am not nervous about being pregnant, but labor freaks me out. I still have a hard time imagining something that large coming out of something so small. To put it politely!

Believe33 · January 2013

Definitely not afraid of anything. I've never seen a BFP before...once I do, I know I will be ready for everything that comes with pregnancy, uncomfortable or not. Nothing will be taken for granted. However, since it has taken us so long, I know I will probably be worried the entire time that something will go wrong.

jfb29 · January 2013

Overall I'm not scared of much - my biggest fear would probably be the strong possibility for severe morning sickness (I had stomach problems several years ago and now have a stomach condition that I was warned by my GI that women with this condition often have a very hard time being pregnant). I've made it through a lot though, so I figure I can make it through that - and it will be worth it in the end!

Really I'm not scared of labor, morning sickness, stretch marks, what I'm most afraid of is gaining a lot of weight. I'm 4'11 and currently suffer from high liver enzymes - which means I swell pretty bad anytime I eat anything that has salt. Not fun.

katib77 · January 2013

My only fears I think stem from being IF for so long. I don't fear pregnancy or birth that are normal - I fear complications and birth defects. I think the complications I've seen other 3Ters go through (although not common) make me aware of how much can go off the path of "normal"pregnancy that it creeps into my mind. And I think since getting PG has had all these problems, I naturally worry that once I am there might be problems.

vpine · January 2013

I guess I've been wanting a BFP for too long already to have fears, I'm ready to puke, feel dizzy, expand...... Big Smile

Only thing I'm fearing is post-baby, hoping my body will bounce back like the celebrities seem to do....

asilwhite · January 2013

I don't really fear anything like morning sickness, labor, weight gain etc. in fact I kind of welcome it after waiting so long for a baby, but what I do fear is any type of complications or birth defects, etc. My biggest fear is not having a healthy pregnancy or healthy baby.

Come on- I'll be amazingly grateful and relish every moment if we ever get pregnant, but no amount of IF struggles have diminished my total fear/repulsion at the thought of having my vag torn or sliced open!

I fear other people's comments - my SIL and two girl cousins all have small children and I am sure I will hear A LOT of information about their pregnancies, etc when it happens for us - I just feel different from their experience because of our IF trouble.

Actually it has, for me. I use to be very scared of L&D, but now I can't wait to experience something I know women would give anything to experience and never will, so I am now looking forward to it, if I am so blessed.

I'm not scared of L&D and will obviously be incredibly grateful to have a baby but I'd be lying if I said I'm not scared of a 4th degree laceration. I know my kidney stones will be more frequent and that will suck, but I can handle it. I'm sitting here flexing my butt muscles and making a scared face just contemplating a really bad tear though.

You should try fisting, I heard somewhere it helps prepare you for childbirth.

Well at least it would help us use up all that useless, overpriced, Pre-Seed!

Seriously though, like I said, if we are fortunate enough to get pregnant I do realize how precious the experience is, and how lucky I would be to have the option of going through that pain. And that does make it a lot less daunting than it was back when I was a naive ttc'er. But at the end of the day, the cut/tear during labor still scares the sh*t out of me. If you can face it with a smile than you are a stronger woman than me & have my respect.

trebeksucks · January 2013

I relish the chance for a BFP and all that comes with it. One thing I will be terrified of is having another miscarriage. But what can you do? All you can do is try, take everything one day at a time and hope for the best.

Amen. I have almost every single pregnant woman on my FB blocked from my newsfeed because of the complaining.

I'm not scared of l/d or morning sickness, etc. I'm mostly scared of birth defects and other complications like a high risk pregnancy.
