My First Time & Very Scared

[My_First_Time_]

I've recently found out I was pregnant with my boyfriend of 7 years. I have not been around many babies or anyone pregnant so I am not sure what to expect and I'm not only excited but I'm quite scared. Any must need information I should know?

Took 3 years for baby #2. I did blood test and ultrasounds to see why my period were irregular and why I wasn't getting pregnant. Everything was normal for me. Now I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I'm still wondering if it's a dream for how long it took.  I have a cold right now so it ***** even more. If there's a plan for a child it will happen. Good luck with your pregnancy.

Thank you so much for your feedback as it's very important to me. I've been getting a cold and I'm really stressing out about it. To be honest I didn't think I could get pregnant with all my past health issues such as endometriosis, genetic diseases, etc and I think that's in the back of my head stressing me out even more as it's hard to get excited when I am continuously worried.

Having a baby is scary but it's also the most rewarding adventure you and your boyfriend will go through.  As long as you have a healthy pregnancy,  there's not much to it other than regular doctor check ups, ultrasounds and feeling your little one move around and you feel it. I'm not going to lie giving birth is like a marathon. Some people it's a breeze and others the baby may not want to come out and have to be induced or emergency c-section. When the baby is born they would feed every 2-3 hours. For me I was told not to give my daughter a bath till her umbilical cord fell off. This is my second one now I'm scared. I'm excited for my second but scared my daughter may resent the baby. She's been the only one for 4 years and when the baby is born she'll be 4 and a half years. She gets very jealous when I hold a baby even for 2 seconds. Hoping with this being her sibling she will be excited. If you have any other questions or concerns your doctor would take them and help you with what ever you need.
