When I first found out I was pregnant I was estatic. We had been trying six years and we had thought we had no possibility of getting pregnant. Now I am scared and anxious about being pregnant. I don't feel like I should be this way but have these feelings nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, I am happy but scared out of my wits end.

Of course you're scared! I can only imagine what it must be like to have been trying for so long. My husband and I had only been trying for eight months, but we went through a miscarriage in the beginning and when I found out I was pregnant months later I was the same way...ecstatic, then scared out of my mind. Being fearful and anxious is a sign of how much you want and love the child who is about to come into the world. I truly believe it is normal and it comes with the territory.
If I can offer some advice, I would not read too many books or websites that tell you every last thing that can go wrong. I did that for awhile and I started worrying even more....until I realized that it was just better to read up and know the basics and leave the rest up to fate or God or whatever you believe. Best of luck to you and try, if you can, to relax and enjoy the gift you have been given after all of this time!

Name one person who doesn't feel anxious about being pregnant. Your whole life style is about to change, and it will not be the same for at least 18 years, maybe NEVER! there are plenty of "cool" people who will not admit to being anxious, and maybe don't even think they are anxious, but beleive me, they are. Take as many parenting classes, counseling sessions and other related services (like planned parenthood) as you can fit into the remainder of your pregnancy. very few people are lucky enough to be good parents without them. REMEMBER THAT!

Completely normal, don't worry... it's not just you. It's a big step to take in your life, your body will be going through a lot of changes and most likely will never be the same, not to mention your life! You will be responsible for another human being for the rest of your life, it's a big thing.

If you are worried about it that's a good thing, it shows you care and are responsible. You will be a good mom I'm sure. :)

oh, it is totally normal. When i forst found out i was pregnant, i was elated! then as time goes on you start to realize things are going to change, and your going to have this baby for the rest of your life..etc.. no more fun,, or whatever. but it goes away the closer you get to having the baby. and once that baby is out..oh god, you'll wonder how you ever could have been scared. it all works out, and you do get to have fun again and party..good luck sweetie and know it is only temporary..congrats!!

It's normal to feel really vulnerable during pregnancy. Your perspective of the world and your place in it is changing. But these feelings are really normal, and will pass as your thoughts become focused on the impending birth and then taking care of your baby.

heya kelly
it's perfectly normal. and you are going through what all first time mummy go through. what excactly are you scared of? i dare to guess...the babies development in your tummy, the birth, how will you be as a mummy???
all normal.. wow...it's exciting though isn't it??? without all these worries in our head, it would be perfect. try not to worry...occupy your time with exciting things like planning the babies room. decorating, finding out all the new and amazing gadgets on the market for baby and you.
i hope you're feeling better soon.
good luck and all the very best for you and your lil cherub.

Wait it gets worse,HORMONES. I am so tired of being a female.
The hormone changes are non stop, I'm 48 and OH WHAT A BLAST IT IS, I'M NOW GOING THROUGH MENOPAUSE(CHANGE OF LIFE) it Is so unfair to us, and also any one we reside with .The first trimester is a little difficult. But take your vitamins, eat healthy, get your sleep, NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL (maybe a small glass of wine once or twice a week with dinner) NOOOOOOOOO Smoking.
Keep your weight to what the Dr, told you AND DO YOUR KEGALS Good luck, health and happiness to all

I wanted this baby and was so excited to find out. Then hormones hit and I felt trapped and felt like I didn't want it, even though I knew I did. I wanted to run, but I was excited. I was miserable. I just wanted to fast forward to the birth... when pregnancy is over and it is all worth it
