Hi, there! I'm kind of new to this whole thing. I am close to my 11th week of pregnancy, and this is my first. My fiancee and I have been trying to conceive for almost 6 months, and because I've previously had a hormonal imbalance, I thought I was not able to conceive. However, the excitement came when I missed that monthly visitor, and the pregnancy test came back positive. We were extremely excited, but kind of nervous...kind of wondering what happens next. 

Since I've been pregnant, I have been stress free, and excited for every week. However, I have been paranoid about everything! This past week I had a severe respiratory infection, and was prescribed Amoxicillin. I was a little nervous about taking it, but after extensive research, I found that it was safe to take during pregnancy. I am also paranoid about every pain I'm getting in my lower abdomen, hoping that there isn't anything wrong. I haven't had my first OB appointment, yet...it's scheduled for the 13th. I'm a little nervous about that, too. Hopefully everything is great!

Hope to talk to you all throughout my pregnancy!  

congrats on your discovery. I to am a new mommy at 17 weeks and 4 days. I too was scared and nervous because i had had miscarriages before. When i told my doctor i was under close monitering then we had our scare...there was a seperation between the placenta n the wall.. concerned my doc put me on bedrest and pelvic rest for a month until my next ultra sound. Anything you are worried about your doc will be there for you.  For the weeks to come its an amazing adventure.. Seeing your baby and hearing its heart beat is the most exciting time a mother could ever ask for. There are alot of support groups outthere to help new mothers and better prepare them for wats to come after the pregnancy as well. I hope ur appointment went well and that your weeks go by healthy and happy for you
