Still in schock, but happy and scared

[ChefSara77]

Hi Ladies! I got my BFP 5 days ago. I was so shocked and surprised and in a state of disbelief that I took another HPT a couple days later. Still positive

Wednesday I have my first appointment with my OB to confirm the pregnancy, and I'm nervous and excited all at once. I'm scared to death, though, of miscarrying. I feel like it was just so easy for us to get pregnant (my BFP came about 3 weeks after we officially started TTC), that I'm scared I'll lose it. Is this normal? Every time I go to the bathroom, I'm afraid I'll see blood. Is it worth asking for a test of progesterone levels when I go to the doc on Wednesday? Or is this just par for the course, and part of being a mom is worry?

I've always wanted to be a mom, and now that it's so close, I'm afraid it will get taken away!

Congrats. Yes, it is totally normal. I felt, and feel the same way. We got pregnant the first time as well. Try not to worry, because no matter how much you worry it will not stop anything from happening, nor will it cause it to happen either.

Congratulations on your news!

I think worrying about things is a natural state to be in when you are pregnant. I fell pregnant pretty quickly as well and didn´t think that would be the case, having been warned by all my friends that it would take ages, so now I´m constantly thinking something has to go wrong! We´ve been way too lucky!

you're 100% percent nomral - I am still having a silent "hurrah!" every time I wipe and all is clear.
All you can do is make your body the best place for the baby to be so it stays there - rest, eat healthily and try and stay stress free!

CONGRAUTUALTIONS!!!

Thanks ladies. Its good to know I'm not totally nuts!!

So far I have no reason to think there would be any problem. But since my BFP and I made my Dr. appointment, I have this fear that I'll go in there and they'll tell me that I'm not really preg. (I've even taken two more HPTs to be sure)

DH and I are both ecstatic...in fact, last night after I was sleeping, he went online and ordered 2 pregnancy books and a pregnancy planner/organizer to make sure we are on track with everything! He's so cute about the idea of being a dad!

Not sure exactly how far along I am, but I'll probably find out tomorrow morning when I go for my first OB appointment. I'll let you know how it goes

So, I went in to the doctor's office today for my "confirmation of pregnancy" visit. In my doctor's office, this visit happens with one of the OB/GYN nurses. However, it took her no time at all to tell me "you're *definitely* pregnant."

So, just hearing that come out of the mouth of a medical professional suddenly makes all more real. And I'm much more confident about it as well. She spent quite a bit of time with us (DH came with me on the visit...he said he wants to be there for ALL of them), answered our questions, and generally helped put our minds at ease. I'm scheduled for my first scan on 12/18. DH and I haven't told anyone yet, and we're planning on telling our parents for Christmas...in fact we have it all planned out! We're going to get some nice "grandparents are special" picture frames, and frame a pic from the first sonogram for them. This will be the first grandkid on both sides of the family, and while they have been very good about not bugging us to have kids, we know they have really been wanting to be grandparents. It will be the perfect Christmas present!!!

How, we just have to find the willpower to keep it a secret for the next 4 weeks!!!
