I just found out I'm pregnant! In fact, I found out two hours ago! I'm really excited but I'm really nervous as well! My husband and everyone else are really happy but I can't help feeling scared...this is our first child and even though I really want one, I can't help feeling nervous and not ready...I've read some really scary stuff about pregnancy (e.g. I've been experiencing some cramps and am terrified of miscarriage)...plus we are currently living overseas (currently in Penang, Malaysia) and I have absolutely no idea what to do!

Anyone else experienced/is experiencing this strange mix of excitement, fear and trepidation??

oh dear!! yes! Congrats By the way! I'm constantly terrified. we've already had an episode where our doctor sent us to the ER because of cramping/bleeding and were told we could possibly miscarry. that was 2 weeks ago and have since had an ultrasound and everything seems fine. But every day I'm terrified. I get worried that maybe I'm just worrying too much but if others feel this way it makes me feel better.

oh, i just found out a month ago and i am just as terrified as i am excited! everyday (or rather night) i have so many fears and concerns running through my head that i can't get to sleep, which is nerve racking when you are exhausted allll day.

but, i just tell myself i've got the new mom jitters. take everything in stride AND DON'T FRET THINGS UNLESS THEY ARE HAPPENING!!
Unnecessary stress is no help. Good luck and congrats!

Thanks jenryannatas and Eyescoldandgrey! It's comforting to know that there are other mommies out there who are experiencing such feelings too! I keep telling myself to enjoy my pregnancy and not fret too much...

Congrats to both of you too!!!
