Re: i'm nervous.

don't worry. I know its aggony waiting for the first apt, but you're almost there!

Re: i'm nervous.

totally normal- my nervous havent calmed down since i got PG with my first 9 years ago. The nervousness just shifts from pregnancy to motherhood.

Re: i'm nervous.

Yes... it's totally normal and it'll never stop. Even after your Doc visits. I'm 22 weeks and still get nervous. Plus, I Never had any pregnancy symptoms... no ms, no sore boobs, anything... You'll feel better after your visit, but till then try and relax and enjoy being pregnant.

Re: i'm nervous.

I felt exactly the same way before my first appt last Friday. When the doctor came into the room and asked me why I was there I told her that I think I might be pregnant. She laughed. She asked me if I had taken a test, I said yes. She asked me if I was nauseaus and/or had sore boobs and I said yes and yes. She said then you are pregnant. Even my DH was laughing at me. Until I heard a doctor say it I couldn't believe it.

Re: i'm nervous.

Totally normal to be so nervous. Even with symptoms I was a wreck.

Re: i'm nervous.

It's SO normal! (and if it isn't, i'm going to say that it is anyway because that's totally how i felt! )

I really thought they weren't going to see a heartbeat.. or a baby. The whole thing is so nervewrecking (and i really didn't think i'd be one of "those" people).. but there's just so much on the line, it's natural, imo, to be so concerned.

It does get better though. I think the further along i get, i start to let myself feel a little more attached to it and a little more comfortable. When i got past 8 weeks, i felt much 'safer' (like, not out of the woods, but not feeling like i was going to m/c at any moment). I'm almost 11 weeks and still check the TP everytime i go to the bathroom though

Re: i'm nervous.

Im nervous going to every doctors apt that they will not hear Babys heartbeat, or find something wrong and this is my second baby and im 35 weeks..

Its a normal fear and never goes away even after baby is born.. my dd i still constantly worry about.. Welcome to Motherhood!! (the land of worrying)

Re: i'm nervous.

it's totally normal to be nervous.
I get nervouse before every Dr's visit - Is the heartbeat still there? Is he moving around? Am I growing enough? etc etc. -


You'll be fine !!

Re: i'm nervous.

Thats totall normal...I feel the same way now and I felt the same with my first pregnancy.

But sore boobs and nasuea are two pretty strong pregnancy symptoms, so don't worry!

Re: i'm nervous.

Completely normal. I'm the same way - I was a wreck yesterday before my 1st OB appt. (even tho I'd already had 2 w/ the RE). My nausea & sore boobs & exhaustion & acne (that's the latest) actually make me feel better psychologically, because they're all indications that yes, I am pregnant!

Hang in there!

Re: i'm nervous.

It's normal- I was so nervous waiting for my first appt. Trust me, as bad as the sore boobs and nausea can be, they are GREAT signs!

Re: i'm nervous.

I was terrified before my first appointment. Totally normal.
