I have my first appointment in a few hours. I was fine until yesterday the anxiety hit me. I am so nervous and anxious and can't stop thinking about the appontment and hoping everything is okay. I still have morning sickness and everything else so I am sure everything is progressing okay.
Just the normal jitters I suppose.

I am due the 2nd week in May.
My appointment was fine and I have actually had 2 more after that. I can't believe I posted this at around 4 weeks and now I am almost 23 weeks.
Between keeping up with the two I have, the morning sickness, the house, and business I haven't had much time to play on here. I miss it.

I'm so late in responding to this, but congrats anyway! I hope all is well. I am trying to TTC number 2, but it's taking some time. I had an issue over the summer with a pregnancy, so right now I dont think my cycles are just right. Time will tell.

I am so late re-responding....lol.
Good luck TTC #2. It seemed to take a lot longer this time than the last 2. I was wondering if it was ever going to happen. Hopefully it will happen for you soon.

Congratulations!! 
I think you are right it is just normal jitters. i was like that for all my first appointments too. Until the doctors tell you everything is good, you can't help but be nervous. I was more nervous with my 3rd one too because after 2 girls we were getting our boy. so i think that made me a little more worried because if something happened we might not get our boy. Everything will be fine!

Yes, I think it was just normal jitters. I have been getting a little nervous a few days before each appointment this time. I think it's because I don't really think about it too much because I have been so busy and busy with the 2 I already have. I haven't been able to think about being pregnant every second like i was with them. It hits me all at once.

Thank you! I am 99% sure we will be done after this one is born. I am planning to have my tubes tied since I will be having a c-section anyway.
I love you little Peanuts avatar. Our nursery is done in Peanuts, well mainly snoopy and woodstock. We jokingly call my daughter linus because she has this lovey blanket that she drags around with her.

Congratulations and all the best. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Morning sickness is indeed difficult to manage. But hopefully when you progress in your second timester it will improve. So just hold on. Yes its true that morning sickness indicate that the pregnancy hormones are working fine and so the pregnancy is progressing well. Even if you had two kids before, a pregnant women has all the emotions and worries and its absolutely natural.

I have been so busy with the kids, morning sickness and trying to kp my business going that I haven't had a chance to get back here.
I am still having some morning sickness but it didn't let up with my 2nd until I was 32 weeks or so. It seem to be letting up now but I still had to take some medicine yesterday.
Thank you for your response.

Congrats on your 3rd baby. I only have one child, but i think even if you have 10, each pregnancy comes with anxiety and jitters, no matter what, its as normal as morning sickness if you ask me..lol
Congrats, relax, and enjoy, as you know, babies bring loads of laughter and joy to everyone around them.

Thank you :)
You are so right about hwo each pregnancy comes with anxiety and jitters. It seems like each time I am nervous about the same things but I have different reasons.

I keep telling myself that. I have been anxious every time I realize my appointment is in a few days. All has been well so far.
