I’m 21w 5d and I haven’t bought anything for the baby. When my husband and I go to the store he asks if I want to get anything and I tell him no. I tell him I’m scared if I get too excited and start shopping for the baby something will happen. I keep telling myself I will get get excited after the next test or doctor appointment but still when I’m told everything is okay I’m still too scared. This is our first, not planned but still happy. I haven’t be emotional or depress. We have a wonderful relationship of over 7 years and just bought a house. Looking from the outside in I know I should be over the moon and getting the room ready and signing up for my baby registry.... but I’m so scared. Here are my questions:

1. Is this a common feeling for 1st time moms?

2. Will this feeling go away as my pregnancy go along?

3. Am I hurting the bonding with my baby by worrying so much?
