Pregnant and Scared

in Pregnant after a Loss
July 5th I took a test and found out I was pregnant, and just to make sure I got a blood test that same day at the hospital. It also came back positive.
I have an appointment scheduled for next week on Thursday. We haven't told anyone yet except for a few close family members. I want to be happy but when they ask "are you excited" I just can't say yes. After miscarrying in February, I'm just terrified of losing another. I want to be happy like any mother should, but my anxiety is getting bad. According to the calculator on here, I'm about 5 weeks. I lost my last child 9 weeks in, and I just want this first trimester to be over so I can breathe. Sorry about the rant. I'm happy but just so scared of losing this child too. I'm having a lot of the same pregnancy symptoms as I did last time, but no nausea like last time either. Praying that this goes much better.

    Congrats on your new pregnancy! I'm sorry for your previous loss. Just take things one day at a time. We all understand how you feel. As far as not feeling nauseous, it's still early. My nausea didn't kick in during my pregnancies until 6 weeks, and it's even later for a lot of women. Sending positive thoughts your way!

    Congratulations and welcome!  I am so sorry that you are scared but yes, we all know the feeling.  It does get slightly better (I just passed my loss milestones a couple of weeks ago and feel 1000 times better now) but the fear is there regardless.

    Congrats! What your feeling is definitely completely normal. I am still petrified and am not really telling many people. I am hoping after my 12 week check up on Friday I will feel better but who knows I think everyone is different.

    Don't apologize! I don't know if there is a lady here who wasn't at least a little bit scared at first. 

    Congrats on the BFP! Sending you good thoughts for positive news next week. Take it one day and one appointment at a time.

    Thanks everyone. @EurydiceNymph I'll have to check that out, that definitely has to be the hardest thing, because I can't help counting up the days to when I m/c last time. Trying to not let myself think like that but it is hard. @megbmeg I'm not sure what he will suggest. If it is anything like last time, they did an ultra sound and everything first time. After the appointment they sent me up to LabCorp for some blood tests to make sure everything else was all right and a pee test. Trying to think up some questions to ask him this time. Making a list. It's weird and so different from last time, but I know it's because I'm extra paranoid.. lol.
