I'd tell you to relax, but I've been there and I understand being happy and scared and excited and nervous all at the same time.
There is alot that your body is going to go through over the next several months, and that's nothing compared to what is going to happen for the rest of your life! This is going to be a huge change in your life. You're probably wondering about what sort of parent you're going to be. You're wondering about the baby... will he be healthy, will he be happy?
This is a major undertaking! It's completely normal to feel everything that you're feeling. All I can say is, "welcome to parenthood!"
How long will it last? Probably, in one form or another, for the rest of your life, but it's worth it.
Good luck!

That feeling is normal. I was the same way. Your thrilled because you may have thought you couldn't get pregnant, Now that you are your scared because reality hit you about being pregnant and your nervous because you want to be the "best" parent possible. Congratulations!!! This is defiently a mothers syndrome. You will be just fine. Make sure you follow your doctors instructions, get a Parenting magazine and enjoy your 9 months to a live time of joy.

Because now it is a reality. There is no turning back, you are getting ready to bring a child into the world and you have a little person growing inside of you., no more trying... Also we "mothers to be" get so scared because we worry about how the baby will born, if the baby is being healthy, if you are eating the right thing, are you taking anything that will harm the baby., I mean is so many different things, but simply 'TRY' not to worry about the unnecessary - make sure to eat healthy, walk because you want to stay active and in shape, that will help you when you are ready to deliver. Make sure that you do not let yourself go now that you are pregnant, do your hair, nails, toes, and always try to look your best, because we at times feel that because we are pregnant we are just getting fat, etc., but we need to stay sexy mothers to be... Good luck., I know you will enjoy your pregnancy as much I am... When you see your baby in the ultrasound, feel him/her moving., find out the baby's sex, you have so much more to look forward to.... god bless.

Let me start off by saying congratulations. Your feelings are very normal. You are thrilled because you are finally going to add to the family with the baby you've been trying for. But you are scared because now you are going to be responsible for another human life. All of these feelings are perfectly normal. You will outgrow them. By the time you get into week 30 and above you'll be so ready for that baby to be born. You have a lot of tihngs going on now, but remember to rest and enjoy this time. It will all be worth it. Again sweetie, congratulations.

Be prepared to feel this way for the rest of your life! Parenthood is emotionally very confusing. We want to be pregnant but then when it happens we worry about how the pregnancy will go, or how much labor will hurt. Then after all that anxiety is over we worry about whether or not our baby is getting enough to eat or sleeping enough. Then we worry if they are developing normally or making friends quickly enough. The list goes on and on. Once your first trimester is over, your hormones should settle down and you should feel a little better, but I believe a lot of what we feel is just what make us moms. Congratulations!

Its completely normal. My husband and myself have been trying for about 5 months. I just found out the other day that I am finally pregnant with our second blessing !!!! I am a little nervous because I am not good with pain. My first birth was great !!! I just hope that I am allowed to get an epidural again.

You will be fine!! This is your first baby isn't it. You will have the nerves and the worries up until the baby is born but they will go away after the baby is here. As for the being tired and nausea and breast tenderness, That will last till your 4th or 5th month, will go away, and come back in your 8th and 9th month. Its normal.!! Good luck!!

Oh my gosh, it is so normal to feel many emotions.
I'm pregnant too, and I am happy and very scared. It is so normal.
But at least you are married to the babies father, and that is a very good thing. The feelings will probably not last very long, but then again they could last until you have your baby in your arms, then all the emotions you felt will be gone, and you will feel happy, and love.
I hope the best for you!! Congradulations!!

Perfectly normal. You will always have those feelings. A baby will grow into a child and into an adult and you will still worry about them. Try to enjoy your pregnancy and new baby when it gets here and put the worries aside

Baby=growing up. Even if you are 45 you still have to grow up more when you have a baby. Perfectly normal to be a little nervous. Congrats though.
