[thickm]

ever since i found out i was pregnant, i just havent been real excited!! i feel like i am in denial about being pregnant honestly! its like im excited to a point but more fearful and withdrawn then anything! i had a miscarriage in july 09 and i was 8 weeks but fetus was blighted ovum at 5 weeks.....and even though i will be 15 weeks on sunday im still scared! i wanna be pregnant and happy and enjoy this whole experience but honestly all i rather have is my HEALTHY BABY here with me now. i dont know....... sounds weird but with my daughter i loved being pregnant and feeling her grow and watching me grow and just enjoying that whole experience and now im like HURRY UP DUE DATE! anyone else feel like that?????????

You shouldn't feel that way but its ok, and normal and understandable. Just try to tell yourself it will all be ok this time. ITs hard after a loss, but the best thing you can do is try to push the fear aside and enjoy your pregnancy....  Happy and healthy pregnancy ahead!!

I feel the same way! I had a m/c in Oct. Even though I am very happy to be pregnant I am so scared to call the doctor and go in for a blood test because I am in fear of hearing bad news. I want to be able to enjoy every moment but it's so hard when you're worring if you're to m/c again. This would be my first and I don't think I'm supposed to feel this way.

I think what your feeling is very normal. Im very happy to be pregnant but at the same time scared and just want the weeks to fly by. After having a miscarriage I think its only natural to feel that way. I think once we are far enough along to feel the baby moving we will be able to relax and enjoy the pregnancy more.....

I don't think it's crazy at all. Anyone who has experienced a loss will tell you that it hard to get as excited the next time around. It's not that you don't want to, but the fear and worry invades every thought. I felt the exact same way this pregnancy up until around 20 weeks when my little man started moving ALL the time. Since then I have been able to relax and enjoy it. Your time will come too, just be patient with yourself and know that everything will be okay. :)

i feel bad feeling so not into things this go around! well i am into them just not how i should be! i used to love going to the dr when pregnant with my daughter and hear her heartbeat and now i wanna know what the heartbeat is rather then just enjoy the sweet sound! and an ultrasound isnt just a lovely picture, its like i am asking the tech, hows the baby, measuring okay, any problems, hows my cervix and placenta! maybe its the fact i am a nurse now and i know to much but its just crazy

I'm the same way with this pregnancy....nervous, anxious, and not as excited as I was with DD....but most of that comes from the fact that we don't know when DH will be leaving for Navy Basic Training. We're hoping he can do a delayed program that allows him to leave next Christmas, but at the same time that will increase our money woes in the meantime, so it's a double-edged sword. I want the baby to be here and about 3 months old because after that point I'm completely good and he can leave and I won't be freaking out, lol (we're hoping that he leaves in the beginning of October and will get back by Christmas but it's so hard to say). Hang in there, you're past the danger point and soon you'll be feeling little stirrings which will help ease your heart and mind....but you already know that, hehe :) .you're definitely not the only one feeling that way.

hahah i think were all like hurry up due date! Im feeling that way too...like omg when is it going to be here and all at the same time i want to be able to go through  my pregnancy happy and loving every moment....i think its just that lil thing that we call intuition that we wont be happy until our babys are healthy and in our arms anyways!! Its a mommy thing!! :) lol also after a misscarriage it take time to know that things are going to be ok...i was like that with my last pregnancy..always afraid something is going to go wrong and i think its because we think oh mie my first pregnancy went without a hitch..what are the chances of this one going the same...when in all reality there pretty good!!! :) ( knock on wood just in case) hehe So how bout we all just sit and enjoy our pregnancys as much as we can and before we know it our due dates will be here! :)
