When am I allowed to be excited?

Question

November of 2014 I had a miscarriage (immediately after announcing to everyone) I am now almost five weeks and a ball of stress. I find myself saying things like "hopefully we will have a baby in September".  I don't feel like I am expecting, I feel like we are still just trying, like nothing is real. Is anyone else going through this, how do you cope?

Answer

I miscarried in mid December at 6 weeks & 5 days. I'm now pregnant again. I'm feeling the same way!

Answer

I had a miscarriage in 2011, healthly baby boy in 2013, and I'm due with another boy in March. I'm still nervous! But I announced any way right away asked for prayers for a healthy pregnancy.

Answer

Same thing happens to me last year. You are allowed to be excited whenever you want. But it took me the 12 week waiting period and a couple appointments before I relaxed a bit. Now I'm almost 25 weeks and baby is doing well. Once he started moving it relieved a lot of stress. Try to be positive and hope for the best. That's all you can do.

Answer

Same with me .. I been feeling it hard to be extremely happy (like I want to be) or announcing it because I had 2 miscarriages last year

Answer

Exact same thing happened to me last year.  Told basically everyone that I was pregnant at 9 weeks and lost it the next day. I'm currently 18w2d and I'm still a ball of nerves. Honestly I would recommend a doppler. Hearing that heart beat when I'm having a bad day makes the world of difference!

Answer

I didn't have a mc, but had a hard time getting pregnant. I felt this way too in the beginning. My husband was immediately excited and didn't understand my hesitation. I decided to let myself feel both joy and fear and understand it's normal. Not getting excited won't make you feel better if something bad does happen! After a few weeks, and my first ultrasound seeing the heartbeat, I finally let go of my fear and embraced my excitement fully. I know even at 13w4d something could still happen, but it's our first baby regardless and nothing can take away that we love this little bean! It's hard, but let yourself feel both emotions!

Answer

I am going through this exact situation right now. I don't have the answer. Did you already schedule your first appointment?  When I told my husband he said he didn't want to get his hopes up this time either.
