I have recently found out I am 4 months pregnant! I had no idea!! I am 26 and in a long term relationship and have been living with my partner for 3 years. Our first worry was how 'unkind' I had been to my body over xmas and NY, however I have had the Ultrasound and bubba is healthy & normal. I guess the shock is setting in & i'm finding it all a bit daunting!! I am xcited & my partner is soooooooo happy :o) I'm just feeling a bit 'anxious' all of a sudden - overwhealmed, petrified even - Is this normal?? Thank u!!!

Yep. You'll go through moments of sheer terror when you start to think about everything that you have to do, or everything that you've done that might not be all that great for the baby (before you found out, of course). Worrying is part of mommyhood. It's normal. And you're going to be dealing with it most of the rest of your pregnancy... off and on.
Enjoy this time. You're not going to be completely comfortable all the time, but it really is a great experience. If you're happy, and your partner is happy, you will undoubtedly have a happy baby. Congrats, and good luck!

in all pregnancy its almost normal 2 be anxious and happy about being pregnant especailly if its ur first cause if ur really not knowing what it will be like 2 be a mom so that makes u feel and what going on in ur stomach etc 2 be anxious about but if everything is healthy and normal then u should try 2 calm down a little bit incase it leads 2 stress which would be bad for the baby although its alot easier said than it is done
good luck and congratulations
a feel something similar because i am having my first and am nearly 12weeks but i have been told its common 2 have mixed feelings while pregnant but good luck tc(take care)

Absolutely, darlin. I'd be more worried about you if you weren't scared. It shows that you'll be a good parent. Having a baby is a huge responsibility and feeling petrified is a very good sign. Feeling trapped just shows that you know that your life as you know it is going to change. As far as being unkind to your body, the pregnancy that resulted in my first daughter was a total surprise and it turned out to coincide with the only time I have ever tried a drug in my life (1/2 a tab of ecstasy) and she came out just fine, absolutely beautiful and to this day, uncommonly brilliant. Good luck and Congratulations!

Well congrats first of all. Becoming pregnant and finding out can be overwhelming ... you are just fine.
And if you mean drinking when saying "unkind over Christmas" just be sure to talk to your doctor about that. Everything will be just fine. I was unkind to my body when I was pregnant with my daughter ... and of course I DIDN'T KNOW ... I was prego either. And my baby was/is perfectly fine. So relax ... and enjoy. Be sure to take your prenatal pills :) BTW I am 26 too ... I was 18 when I had my daughter ... time goes by very quickly. Congrats again!

becoming a parent for the first time is venturing into the unknown. no matter how much you have heard about it, you still have no idea what its going to be like. I think its normal to have some anxious feelings. It means you accept that parenthood may be difficult, and thats ok. Just remember that it will also blow you away every day. My daughter is 2 years old, and my husband and I still are often overcome with the urge to just pick her up and smother her in kisses. Its a feeling that you are going to love, and that is what will get you through the somewhat difficult times. Good luck!

Yes i think that is totally normal. I tried to fall pregnant for 4 years before i actually got pregnant and still had that same overwhelming feeling of anxiety at the beginning. I am 36 weeks now and every now and again i still get anxious - it will be a huge life change.

Yes, it is very normal. It is a very exciting time and your emotions are all over the place. No worries about what you did in your early pregnancy. Many people don't know they are pregnant and do all sorts of things, but the baby is very protected in the early months. Just make sure you really take care of yourself now and enjoy every minute of it!! Good luck and congrats!!

of course its normal :) having a baby is a big responsibility and your hormones are all out of whack and all of a sudden you've realised that you're going to be a mom. Even tho my boyfriend and i were trying i felt a little like this at first too. It's a big shock to find out sometimes. Don't worry. your relationship sounds just like mine and if it is, you'll be so happy! Think of all the other people who try forever and cant have kids and all of a sudden you have this ltitle blessing. Congratulations you'll be happy in no time!

Yes, it is very normal to feel scared since this will be your first child. Its something new for you and your partner, its not going to be just you and him anymore. Its going to be you, him and baby bubba. Just calm down and take a deep breath and stop stressing. You have someone thats sticking by you and not one of those jerks that just up and leave you as soon as they find out your pregnant. Your going to be fine, your having a baby!!!

Sorry, but how did you not know you were pregnant until you were almost half way through your pregnancy? Anyways, yes, it's perfectly normal to be scared, especially when it's such a surprise. I'm just happy that both you and your partner are happy about it! Congrats.
