Happy to be here...

First time poster here!

I just found out that I am pregnant...this is after having a "missed miscarriage" in August. Found out at my first OB appointment. I swore I wouldn't be ready for a long time, but here I am.

I think the reason I am posting this is because I'm curious if anyone else has felt very...reserved...about being pregnant again after a miscarriage. I am very happy, and to be honest, I feel more like I did with my first pregnancy (which resulted in a healthy daughter), and less like I did with the last pregnancy. However, I kind of feel like I am keeping my emotional distance until I know for sure that things are okay.

Does anyone else relate?

yup. I am trying not to get too invested before I know whether this pregnancy will end in a healthy baby. But I fear I am not doing a very good job of not getting attached to the idea. Still I know what you mean...

Im definitely more reserved emotionally. But I think that's a good thing for now. I'm so happy to be pregnant again and I will love this baby more than anything. But for now I think it's ok to be a bit cautious.

Totally relate - it will come and go I think - along with the feelings of worry - particularly coming up to milestones and scans etc - but you will get moments of joy and excitement too.

congratulations on your BFP !!
