Just found out - shocked and anxious.

I just got a positive pregnancy test (currently about 4.5 weeks). We were deliberately trying and this is very much wanted. However I have felt shocked, scared, anxious, overwhelmed and honestly super emotional. I’m surprised I am not just jumping for joy, and my husband is also not pleased with my reaction and lack of joy.

I am very happy to start this new chapter, but can’t seem to get past the initial shock and just be joyful.

Can anyone relate? Or give helpful tidbits to get me over this initial state of being overwhelmed and emotional?

    Hi I am a few days behind you at 4 weeks. We’ve also been trying and working with fertility Dr and it’s still a bit of a shock for me. I thought I’d feel over the moon but honestly mostly anxious. I’m trying to take it day by day and practicing gratitude and giving myself grace. I think my main worry is now knowing and feeling feeling completely out of control (besides what we can control with eating well etc.)! Hang in there. I’m with you on the feeling but am positive it will all settle in.
