I can't keep control of my mind.

After almost 3years of TTC, we are finally pregnant. Today I am 15 weeks & still it hasn't sunk in that I am really pregnant. I am constantly paranoid of EVERYTHING! I'm really hoping I can move forward & stop worrying so much.

Try not to worry! Enjoy your pregnancy. Sometimes a journal can help so you can write down irrational fears/thoughts. When I keep those thoughts to myself I just think of them more and more, however, if I say them or write them down it helps to get it out of my system and move on. Congrats!

Congratulations!! That's amazing news!

Every mom worries you're not alone, I was thinking about purchasing the small u/s machine (that's not the name, the small hand held machine just used to find the heart beat). They have them on ebay for $60 and you can listen to LO heartbeat whenever you feel worried.

Congrats!

I am/was the same way.. I avoided everything from caffeine to pineapple and was contently googling every symptom I had and convincing myself I had something serious. Pregnancy is so scary, especially when this is something you've wanted more than anything for a very long time. Sometimes it feels too good to be true, so I tried to keep my excitement level down 'just in case'.

But since about 17 weeks time has been going by a lot faster and I find myself thinking more positively and feeling better about everything. You're going to be hitting some really big milestones really soon and that will make you feel so much better (anatomy scan, movement, viability). But I completely understand what you're going through.

It's a huge relief to hear someone else say this. We tried for 6 years, and I'm just now at 25 weeks. I still can't wrap my head around it. I cried a few nights ago trying to explain to my husband that I'm too scared to let myself get overly excited...to the point that I feel like I'm having a hard time enjoying the pregnancy. He understood as best he could, but I don't think until you are actually carrying the baby you understand. I have to take a double take when I see "the belly" in the mirror, because physically I'm changing so much, and emotionally it's just so hard to fathom! Don't get me wrong, I'm excited/thrilled/overjoyed...I'm just also a little bit numb. I sometimes sit in his nursery and I'm not sure if I'm overwhelmingly happy or utterly in shock. Glad to hear I'm not alone!
