I know it's normal but...

I'm stressing big time about the possibility of miscarrying. I don't have a single sign of MC or a threatened MC but the thought lingers. This is the first time we TTC - our other kiddos were huge surprises so by the time the shock and hypermesis wore off I was out of the 1st trimester.

I know I'm not the only one but it just felt good to actually admit that I'm nervous.

I've been feeling the same way. We lost our last two babies, and I think I really need to meditate on the subject.

No advice, but I just wanted you both to know that you're not alone and my thoughts are with all of us.

I am, too. We were TTC last year and got a +HPT in early March (I posted in the Dec 07 DDC). I had tons of issues and then finally had a D&E at the end of April. I was sooo sick and still lost the baby- it was horrible. I really want this baby and the thought that it could go, too kills me. I'm really trying to focus my energy on staying positive, but yeah- I'm nervous, too.

I'm there with you. I've had one miscarriage and 2 chemical pregnancies.
Even though this one feels better then the others, I still worry about it and part of me is even expecting my period to come charging in just a few days late.

My husband keeps saying "If it's (the baby) there, it's there, and if it's not, it's not. Worrying and thinking about it won't change anything. Except making you crazy."

I can totally relate to that ---- totally new experience this time around!!

I am totally freaked out this time. Mainly because i feel so completely different than i did with my first- I was SO sick, and miserable, and this time i feel so totally normal, like there is nothing going on inside of me. I do have cramping, and the girls are sore, but i have no other pregnancy "symptoms". To be honset with you, i am a little hesitant even posting, thinking it will jynx me or something...
eek!!

I'm so excited to get to know you all - thank you mamas for already being an encouragement.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers - I'm keeping everything crossed that we have a wonderful and healthy 9 months!

BIG GROUP HUG!!!!

Let's all think sticky thoughts.

Unfortunately I share the same thoughts. I love this baby so much, I just hope that I have a lifetime of love to give him!! I had a scare Wednesday with some spotting, had an u/s and found out I'm not as far along as I thought (almost 4 wks instead of almost 6) so I'm panicky as I had a loss in July. Honestly I don't feel the same sense of something's wrong with this baby. Actually, I feel the opposite and very hopeful I think that we all have that fear of m/c, it's instinctive to feel like we need to protect, even from conception. Sending positive, sticky vibes to you all, I know that we'll be holding our babes come September!!!
