When did you let yourself get excited?

Question

Hello! 
We got a positive yesterday! But me and my husband are so scared to get excited. We've been facing infertility for 5 years and had a miscarriage a year ago.. anyone else ever been through anything similar? When did you let yourself get excited?

Answer

Right away. I can’t live in the what-ifs. Pregnancy after loss is terrifying. I’ve had two successful pregnancies after losing triplets and it still doesn’t get easier, but I need to celebrate to make it through. I had a post-it in my room that said “this is a different pregnancy with a different outcome” that I would see first thing every morning and the reminder helped me get through the early days, then a fetal doppler when I was around 11 weeks until I could feel movement.

Answer

I had a miscarriage at 7w 3d almost 2 years ago. I have been floating between excitedand scared. Tomorrow, I hit 7w 3d. On Sunday it will really feel real. On ThursdayI have my first OB appointment!

Answer

I had recurring losses that never got past 6 weeks. 5 being missed miscarriages that were officially diagnosed after scans in week 8 or 9 and seeing no further growth after week 6. 
I’m now almost 12 weeks pregnant and I would say I started to get excited after my 10 week scan when I saw the baby move and after finding out we’re having a girl. For the first time ever, I’m excited to go to ultrasounds instead of terrified. 
I would loved to have been excited from the beginning but it just didn’t happen for me. I guarded my heart which was all I’ve known how to do. But now I’m finally embracing this pregnancy and I’m excited. I’m finally talking about things like what to buy and the birth with my husband which we’ve never gotten to do before. 
Whatever feels right for you is what’s right. If you want to celebrate and be excited now, go for it!!! ❤️❤️❤️but if you guard yourself until after a few scans, that can be normal too.
Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy!!

Answer

I had a miscarriage September 2024 and I’m pregnant again due October 18th I wanna say I got excited after week 6 because I have never made it that far before with miscarrying I’m now 9 weeks & 3 days I’m slightly excited but still scared I think I’ll get more excited once I hit the double digits

Answer

We're having a viability scan at 7 weeks, so I'm hoping that will let the excitement sink in!
