getting pregnant?

Question

We have been trying to get preg for a few years now, and the other nite, I was thinking we finally were. When I was about to fall asleep for the nite, I had this really bad panic attak thinking I was really pregnant. I have no fear of raising a child, I am the oldest of 6 children and I have a great relationship, however, I was more afraid of actually having a child growing inside of me. I have heard that it is a completley natural feeling and there is nothing to be afraid of, but now I am wondering if my fear is what is preventing us from getting prenant. My question is: Is it normal to be terrified of having a living thing growing inside of you and if so, how did you get over it, was it really scary or like a sci-fi thing? Do you have any suggestions on what I should do about this new fear of myn? I feel like I will not be able to get over the fear unitl I get preg, but I also feel like the fear is actually preventing us.(I was not actually pregnant- just 10 days late). Help please!

Answer 1

That's one of the things about being pregnant. You think and feel like you are ready before you actually become pregnant but once you are your get scared. Don't worry. A pregnancy is the most joyful experience you will ever have. I loved being pregnant and I actually miss it. Later when you feel your baby moving inside you belly it will bring tears to your eyes. At least it did for me. Just think of it as you giving life to a little one and knowing that, that babies was nourished by you. Knowing that you are it's protector. GOOD LUCK and I hope you in enjoy as much as I did.

Hi there you are sounding like a mother to be with all the worries that come with bring children in to this world. we all worrie wether are going to be bad parents, or what if the baby dont like us or what if i dont like my baby,
it is the best feeling in the world to have a tiny little person growing inside of us, the kicks in the ribs or lead on the bladder are all worth it when you see this buddle of joy for the first time. everybody bodys take being pregant differently, the back ache, the big boobs, the sickness putting on weight feeling un sexy needing to pea all the time, then comes the labour, my god that kills it can kill for 1 hour to days. wow it happens you push this little person out and all those pains go away, u can only see this bundle of joy that has been brought in to the world. then 5 mins after the birth your worries change again is the baby ok, is he feeding ok, is he slepping ok. then a few months he gives you his first smile and your heart melts... then he tells you he loves his mummy and your heart is about to break......
dont worrier about getting peragent, just enjoy what you have and if you do end up pregant then you will enjoy it all the more as you have been relaxed about getting pregant not stressed. good luck to you.

Well for the first few motnhs you dont even feel pregnant really so maybe by the time it sinks in , thats when you will feel it move. But it starts gradually. You feel little movements, just like a nervous twitch in your belly and it just gets more noticable and by then you are so used to it sometimes you dont even notice. Feeling the baby move was the most fun part of being pregnant. Even tho Im done having kids , I miss that part. Its so awesomeee, dont be scared. Relax and just have fun trying :)

You need to calm down. Stress plays a big part on conceiving. And when the time comes you will enjoy and be proud that you have a life growing in you. Best of Luck.

Not being a woman, take my thoughts for what they are worth


I would think that its TERRIFYING, but when you look at it, there is LIFE inside of you, and that can't be a bad thing................

you need to relax more and you and your boyfriend or husband just let it happen,i think you are thinking what can go wrong and thats why you can get pregnant ,so you both need to relaxand just think about each other and making love.
