Scared to get excited

[mh2968]

I got my BFP last Sunday, over a week ago, and I went for my blood tests today, but I am scared to be excited b/c I have this doomed feeling that I will miscarry.  I had a chemical pregnancy late December. My husband is so happy, but I am trying to manage his expections. Has anyone gone through this?

Thanks for everyone's kind words.

I am going through that right now.  This is my 2nd pregnancy.  With my 1st, I miscarried at 15 weeks on Sept. 28, 2007 with a D & C.  I am going to be 6 weeks tomorrow.  My husband is really excited and gets upset with me when I don't share his enthusiasm.  I go for blood work on the 17th.  I feel like I can't really get "into" or excited with this pregnancy because of what happened the 1st time around.  I spoke with my doctor when I went in for pregnancy confirmation a few weeks ago and told her how I was feeling.  She said that it is pretty normal for women to feel how we do about our current pregnancy, after they have lost a pregnancy.  Personally, I feel like once I pass my 15 week mark (the week that my 1st pregnancy ended) that I will begin to feel more bonded with my child and will really feel a relief.  But who knows... all I know is that I am taking this pregnancy one day at a time.  And really praying for the best.  There are many people who feel like you, so don't worry :)

I had a miscarriage in Feb of last year and got pregnant again at the end of March. I was completely freaked out that I would miscarry again and like the last poster said got a whole bunch of ultrasounds just to make myself feel better. She's now 2 1/2 months and healthy as can be. I'm sure everything will turn out fine this time for you and your family! :)

Oh yes, 3 times. I am pregnant for the 4th time, and 3 were mc... so this is the furthest I have ever gotten. I had a pregnancy that was with twins and we lost both at 15 weeks, then I had a chemical and then a blighted ovum. Now this one is going well, its a little girl.
During every pregnancy I had the dreaded feeling I would miscarry, but this time I asked for early ultrasounds, just to make sure everything was alright, and low and behold at 6 weeks baby was there and fine with a heartbeat. Each ultrasound makes me feel so much better, and less worrying.
Just wait for the blood tests to come back and I am sure you will feel much better.
