I’ve made it to 16 weeks! Fetal heart rate is still strong (I have a home Doppler). Because of my age, I’m constantly worried that something could still go wrong, and am having a really hard time getting excited or believing that this is happening. We did NIPT and everything came back low risk. I’m relatively healthy for my age. I’m on progesterone and baby asprin, and a daily prenatal vitamin. But yet I find myself wondering “what if she just stops growing?” “What if she has a heart defect?”

When will I be able to relax and get excited?
