Nervous Wreck

caroline

Hi Ladies, I just found out this past Saturday I'm expecting our first baby. I'm so nervous and afraid of doing something wrong it is stopping me being positive and excited. I'm so worried about the baby being okay.

The reason I tested at all was I had what felt like very strong AF cramps keeping me up at night during last week but It didnt turn up and I was actually afraid there was something wrong. Every day I just talk to our little baby and tell him/her to hang in there and we cant wait to meet them. Am I overreacting with worry? I read so many heartbreaking stories every day it's making me so nervous.

I'm still waiting on a doctors appointment (Covid 19) seems to be slowing everything down. I think I'm nearly 5 weeks. The cramps are easing a little but this also worries me incase it's not normal. We havent told anyone about the baby and my husband is equally as clueless as me so I am hoping some of you more experienced ladies can set my mind at ease.

This is my test at 16dpo- it came up very quickly and it's quite dark. I did 2 so no chance of false positive??
