I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first and I'm very nervous. I actually had a lot of insomnia at the beginning of my pregnancy due to constantly thinking and worrying about everything...from childbirth, being a first time mom, how it may change our lives and getting the nursery started (we are in the middle of renos. I tell myself to relax, just breathe,  take deep breaths and warm baths to relax. I also started writing to my little one in a book...daddy has too..which helps me know how he is feeling about it all.

I hear Ya ladies. I'm a ftm. 10w+1Day. Sometimes it doesn't seem real even though I know I am. I've heard my baby's heart beat and had 2 ultra sounds. It just seems so surreal. One thing I've started doing is writing a journal to my little one each night before I go to bed. It's really fun and allows me to bond even more. My hubby even reads what I right. I think it helps him stay connected too! Congrats ladies!

I feel the same way. I know it's in there but it doesn't seem real.

I am 10w 5d. This is my first pregnancy.  I am anxious.  I want to know what I am having now.  Lol but the whole motherhood thing is so over my head. I don't know how to feel. And I probably feel like that cause I don't feel like I'm pregnant.  I know I am but I don't think it's that real for me yet.  Anyone know what I mean?

Im also 6 weeks and yes the future scares me.its a huge step in our lives and to think we have a lil person growing in us who will b in our lives forever.... Sounds weird bt I close my eyes and talk to my peanut. That calms me... And I smile at the thought of how much I am inlove with this lil person. That usually makes me calm.down fastes

Spa music in a warm bath at night with lit candles only. Ahhh so relaxing. I'm 11w 2d and I'm more anxious than scared. I'm a certified doula and a Ftm. Lol!! I've seen it plenty of times i know the process but nervous of how I will handle the pain.

Best way is to get ur questions answered. Ur doc should always be ur #1 resource, but it is nice to have forums like this to get feedback as well.
