anyone? excited and scared

i am soooo excited we've been together 10 years and i've waited since for this time ever since we meet in high school... and now thats it's finally here i find myself haveing times of complete fear and anxiety!! not about raising the child and afterwards but the pregnancy and birth... i always said i wanted to be preggo's but i'm a bit of a hypochondriact (sp) and i obsess over everything i feel.... and worry so much about the birth not about pain but about whats gonig to happen to me and my body...

please tell me this is normal and i'm not the only one..

Re: anyone? excited and scared

I am very excited. It took sooooo long for me to get pregnant.

What I am nervous about is that I am having twins, although, at the same time it's exactly what I wanted. At may age and the infertility battle I fought I have my twins and I am done... I won't have to go through IVF again.

How much of a trainwreck will my body look like?
I've never been big on exercising but DH and I already discussed that we are going to set a bit of money aside for a personal trainer once the babies come. I have a feeling I'm going to need one.

Two? Two?
In-laws are 70, my dad is disabled and who else is ever going to want to babysit for us ?
The double expense of infant day-care vs. me taking a year and a half off from teaching

I'm not nervous about handling the two of them. Heck, my Dad had a stroke when I was 27, I moved back home, worked full-time, cooked, cleaned, took grad classes, did the home repair and handled EVERYTHING (bills, doctor's appts, etc.) so I'm a bit prepared

Im just like you. Im a hypochondriac also. I worry about everything and once something feels weird and something happens to me i immediately freak out and think bad. Im actually very excited and cant wait for that day to come, but Im not sure if i like being pregnant sometimes.

I just feel like i want my old body back. But in the end its all worth it!!!!

Re: anyone? excited and scared

Im scared too.I m also having twins and it scares me to death. But Im more excited because I waited so long for this, I cant wait for them to be here

Re: anyone? excited and scared

Very excited!!!! and a lil scared but only of the labor and that pain. As far as my body goes,nah not worried, after the baby is born back to exercise and eating healthy since I will be breast feeding too. 8 months after this one we are TTC for number 2!!!!!! so I have to get my butt back in shape asap!

Re: anyone? excited and scared

i'm very excited but scared too. i try not to think about he actual birth part and just think about how happy i am to be having the baby.

Re: anyone? excited and scared

I will be honest as much as I can't wait to be a parent, being pregnant very much freaks me out. The baby just started moving inside me and its really strange. I just keep realizing I have a human inside me.

Labor and delivery freak me out too. I think the whole process is really, really strange and scary.

So go ahead all- flame me for being a bad mommy
