Just got my BFP - now I'm nervous!!
I don't know if I'm jumping the gun by joining this board, but I am excited and nervous! I know I'm going to be a bundle of nerves the first few months until I'm at least 12 weeks. Any words of wisdom would be great. Best of luck to all of you!!

relax, enjoy, rest up! drink lots of fluids and take a vitamin (any pharmacy carries a pre-natal version over the counter until you go to the dr.)

Thanks - I have been taking pre-natals for almost 6 months, so I'm good with that!! It still does not seem real!!

Re: Just got my BFP - now I'm nervous!!
I just got my BFP on Tuesday so I know the feeling. I went to the dr. on Friday and now it seems real. In just a few short days my life has changed so much! It's a great but very overwhelming feeling....my mind has been racing all week and I haven't been able to sleep at night.

Congrats!!  Just *try* to relax and enjoy being pg. I know I wish I wouldn't have been such a worry-wort at the beginning (much easier said than done, I know!).

Re: Just got my BFP - now I'm nervous!!
Congrats!! I would just say to try and relax, if you are hungry EAT because otherwise that can bring on nausea, try not to worry about getting to 12 weeks so much (although I was a freak and time stood still for me), if you are tired then you should sleep - I remember being so exhausted the first trimester, and Enjoy!!!! 
ETA: If you feel your clothes getting tight order a bella band - they are a lifesaver when you are in between regular clothes and maternity!

Re: Just got my BFP - now I'm nervous!!
anyone know how far along I would be considered? My last period was 4/20, but I ovulated about 3 weeks ago. All the online calculators say I'm 4 weeks, but I'd thought I'd be less.

We all (well, a lot of us!) freaked out and were paranoid at the beginning. The fear of the unknown.
All I can tell you is... TRY to relax, it will go much faster than you think (until the last few weeks which drag!!!).
You will find a lot of useful information from this board and the parenting board.

Re: Just got my BFP - now I'm nervous!!
Congratulations and welcome to the board! Just try to take it a day at a time and not worry too much about things going wrong.
I think I worried the most the first few weeks, then that began to fade a bit. Now I worry about other things (whether or not to have an amnio, etc.). I'm 13 wks. now, which is a nice feeling.
You will probably start having some discharge soon if you haven't already. This freaked me out when I first felt it--I thought something was going wrong, and I didn't know about the discharge. But as long as it's clear or a whitish color, it's fine.
Try to relax and enjoy! It's hard in the beginning, especially when not many people know.

Thank you - I did notice some clear discharge yesterday, not sure if it is the same as that.

Re: Just got my BFP - now I'm nervous!!
Probably, it sounds as if it's fine. As long as it's not reddish or brownish, it's pretty normal.
Congratulations again, and I don't think you're jumping the gun by joining the board.

Congrats and welcome! I don't think there are many women who get don't get nervous and many of us stay nervous past the 12 week mark. Just breathe and take care of yourself
