Nerves.... ugh

Hey everyone. Just need to vent a little. I am the first one of all of my best friends to get pregnant so I really have very few people my age to ask questions. We found out that we were expecting a week ago. We have been trying for almost nine months and seeing the fertility specialist for the last three (I have PCOS). We tried Clomid and no luck. We just started on Femara and were very surprised to get pregnant on the first try with Femara. I have never been so nervous or excited in my life. I want to tell all of our friends and family as they all know we have been trying, but at the same time, I feel like if I do i'm going to jinx it. (I know that sounds ridiculous...) My husband is so excited and every time we go to the store he wants to look at baby stuff. Its super cute, but again makes me a little anxious. When did you all start to be less anxious... I feel like the first ultrasound on St Pattys day (will be 6w6d) will help. So many emotions. I have told a couple of my coworkers who know the struggles that we have had. One got me a week by week pregnancy book. It said if you dont have morning sickness your chances of a miscarriage are higher. She took the book away and said she was going to get one that didnt sound so depressing. Lol Anyway, just wanted to share. Trying to keep myself busy and breathing normally until March 17th. Thanks for listening. Feels better just to type some of it out. :)

  • Congratulations and welcome to the group! I am a FTM as well and I feel pretty anxious most of the time. My first appt isn't until April 1 so I have a bit of a wait. Just try to remind yourself that today you are pregnant and enjoy each day. Don't let other peoples experiences scare you. Remember that every pregnancy is different! Keep us posted on how you are doing! :)

  • Morning sickness doesn't usually start until 6-7 weeks. And my friend had zero morning sickness and she was pregnant with twins!!

    March 17th will be here before you know it. I will keep my fingers crossed for good news. :)

  • @vbchick0788 Don't let that book or other people's experiences scare you. Everyone and every pregnancy are different. Sister never had any symptoms other than growing boobs. She has two healthy little boys. Enjoy the pregnancy and more in the moment. The bump is a great place to vent to women who understand and are experiencing the same things.

    Thanks ladies! When I spoke to the nurse she said "we will see you on the 17th and we will be able to tell how many". HA!  I am a social worker.... I can't imagine twins on our salary. Lol
  • Congrats! I love what @jpinky9 said- today you are pregnant. It's so true. All the books and online articles scare us into doubting and worrying. Enjoy being pregnant today. If you get caught up in fear, slow down and imagine your baby. Picture the little one growing in your belly, the size of an apple seed. That's YOUR baby!

  • Congrats!!!!!  We have been trying for three years and Femara did the trick for us, too!!  (on the 2nd round)  I keep peeing on tests just because I still can't really believe it.  I really haven't had any symptoms at all (yet) other than mildly sore boobs and cramping...

    Awesome!  I have the exact same symptoms. I really thought that my period was coming because I was cramping and then SURPRISE! Lol When do you go in for your first ultrasound?

    @vbchick0788 SAME HERE!  The cramping!!!  I was like "ok here it comes!!" and then it never came!!

    My first US is on the 24th - which I feel like is forever away but it isn't really.  I'm just too excited I can hardly stand it...
