When you got your BFP.....

Hiya,

I got a postive result last night and it still hasnt sunk in t doesnt help that hubby is away at the minute.

One minute I am happy the next I am feelin a bit over whelmed. I dont know how I am going to cope.

Did anyone else feel this way? I kind of feel bad for feeling this way

Congratulations!!!!!

I found it a complete whirlwind of emotions for several weeks - I wanted to be really excited but was scared to be in case the worst happened. I only really started to let it sink in after a scan I had at 7 weeks. I still don't let myself buy anything just in case. I don't even dare to think about how I'll cope!! Getting through the pregnancy is enough of a challenge! I'll deal with the rest of it as things go.

Don't feel bad hun, we're all in the same boat with a millions emotions going on.

I had no idea how to feel and this was planned! As soon as we got our positives, it's like I forgot about everything I'd ever read of what to do next! I couldn't think! I think it all started kicking in for me when I went to my first docs appt and then received info from the maternity ward of the hospital. But really I think it won't feel really real until after the 12 wks scan and we tell people! I keep getting butterflies at the thought!
Very natural feelings hun, no need to feel bad. And even if you do feel bad, don't feel bad about feeling bad!

know the feeling too.... before it was all fun & games (even thought it was 8 years worth) its now so different actually being pregnant rather than wishing or imagining you were. there's no turning back now- i hope anyways!

this first 3 months is a roller coaster- one minute so happy you wana climb a mountain & yell it out to the world the next your down & sad or blue yet not sure why, you want that excited/ happy feeling back but you cant find it.

Just roll with it & do what you can xo

I felt the same way hun. And DF was away with the marines when I got my BFP so I know how you feel. I honestly didnt truely belive I was pregnant until yesterday when I got my first scan and heard the heart beat lol.

i've felt that way alot. especially wondering how i'll cope with two! but i'm sure you'll be able to do it! it would be rare for someone to seriously not be able to handle being a mom (unless they developed psychosis or were some kind of junky). i would highly doubt you would TTC if you didnt think you'd make a great mom

Its completely normal to have feelings like this. Its going to be a big change in your life so its natural to be overwhelmed. I went into Mothercare just for a look the other day and I was overwhelmed with the amount of different things in there for the baby. I just thought, how am I supposed to know what to buy, what to get, what will be useful etc.

When I found out I was pregnant, I sort of had mixed feelings too at the start. I didn't really know what to think or what to feel. I had a miscarriage back in January this year when I was 7 weeks and 2 days and with that pregnancy I was so excited and happy but thats what happened in the end so with this one, I was happy, but scared and could not let myself get excited and I still am keeping tabs on my excitement as I am just so scared of the same thing happening again. It definitly took a while to sink in and I won't allow myself to get excited until I see my baby healthy and well on the scan at 14 weeks.

Even though I did two home tests and got both BFP and the doctor confirmed it, and I've been nauseous and tired and bloated and constipated (sorry) and needing to pee every five minutes, I still don't quite believe I'm pregnant. I've told a few close friends, my parents and parents-in-law and a small part of me is secretly convinced that when I get the scan on Wednesday there'll be nothing there and I'll have to go and tell people that it wasn't really real. Crazy or what?

Even though both my pregnancies were planned when i found out i didnt really believe it. It took a while to sink in!

And i still thought OMG how are we going to look after a baby. It's not that i don't want bubs, just you think OMG. It is a life changing thing and quite a responsibility, especially if it's your first baby.

Doesn't mean you want or love the baby anyless, it's just a bit WOW!
