Anyone in a similar boat?

I’m 4w5d today and this would be my second pregnancy (not counting my 3 CPs in the past). My first pregnancy, my baby had trisomy 13, and ultimately didn’t happen. We’ve been trying for over 3 years, I’m 36 yrs old.

We were gearing up for

when it happened! We are happy, but not excited. I feel terrible, I just want this to be it! My hcg levels are low, 70 at 4w2d, 98 at 4w4d and just took a test today to see if it’s still rising slowly. I’m getting anxious and trying not to worry, but it’s so hard. So far symptoms have been very light.

Anyone have similar feelings?

We haven’t told anyone yet and we won’t until we know everything is okay. It was devastating enough last year when we started telling people at the end of the 1st trimester only to have to tell people shortly after that it wasn’t happening.

I feel like my emotions are everywhere!
