[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After over a year of trying for a first, I just got a positive. I still don't really believe it, and I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Can anyone relate to that feeling? Although I've never been pregnant before, it was relatively hard for me to get here (certainly emotionally), and I'm afraid it will be taken away. I feel like I don't really get to be happy yet, since it's so early and therefore so fragile. Has anyone else been here?[/quote]

I've definitely been there, PP.  It did not take us long to conceive our first, but I almost expected to lose it for the first trimester because of some friends' experiences.  I was very numb to the pregnancy for the first 13 weeks or so.  Hearing the heartbeat and seeing the first ultrasound or two did nothing for me--it's like I refused to allow myself any excitement.  I think the techs probably thought I was a sociopath.  But I felt a lot more optimistic and then excited once I got through the first trimester and now that feels like a blip. Anyways, I hear you and I am sure plenty of women have felt the same way. Congratulations![/quote]
