Hello A-16! ::not full of glitter and rainbows::
I am sure you are currently on the edge of your seat, beaming with excitement of being newly pregnant and yet fearing that something will go horribly wrong. Welcome to the world of pregnancy, well I think parenthood in general.
I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter how many times you have been pregnant it is always exciting and terrifying. I would like to tell you that it gets better, but really it doesn't. The fears you have now will pass as you finish your 1st trimester, then you will come the anxiety of your AS, glucose test, pre-e possibilities, pre-term labor ect. Then boom, you are full term and ready to deliver any day. Your new squish with arrive and once again you will be elladed and terrified. This pretty much repeats itself, always, and that is okay.
Every second is worth it. It may not seem like it at the time, but it is. From the time your second line turned pink you, or you got a call about your beta results or from a birth mother who will be giving you the child you have always dreamed of, you became a mother. And becoming a mother changes you. It is okay to be terrified and it is okay to feel how ever you feel.
If along your journey one of your fears becomes your reality then I am so very sorry. Lean on your loved ones. Reach out for support, even if just on here. You are not alone. You have a right to feel angry and heartbroken. You are still a mother.
I wish you all the best! I think I speak for everyone around here when I say, feel free to pop on over here if you have questions, or if you need anything. However, if you start the maple syrup debate back up you will be forever shunned.
