OK, so here is where I'm at. I'm 31 and happily married. We have two DDs aged 12 and 10 and always wanted a third baby but I would never commit to it being "the right time" so we have always been careful (Condoms). I worried about how other people would react if I'm honest (MIL can be harsh, as can my boss) so kidded myself it wasn't appropriate to TTC. Anyway, I found myself late for my period (which never happens) and when I was late by 7 days I began to suspect I was pregnant. I had period style cramping coming and going and my boobs were achy as if I was going to start my period any day. When I got to 14 days late and I was still having the boob aches (even more so, and they have almost doubled in size) I decided to take a test (actually I took two!) And I got two BFPs! According to my LMP, I am 8 weeks and 4 dyas. I don't recall any "mishaps" with contraception but know we DTD twice around the time I would have been ovulating. My husband and I are over the moon with the news and I realise that this is actually so right for us and I am so grateful. As it happens, my MIL was super excited and blabbed on FB about expecting her 5th grandchild and my boss is already talking about knitting cardigans. My problem is, I have dreamed that I miscarried and it really upset me, again, proving to me that this baby is in fact totally right for us. I guess, because we were careful and I can't recall any mishap, I am just super paranoid that I'm going to get to my first scan and be told I'm not pregnant after all and I can't get this thought out of my head. I'm bright enough to know that no contraceptive, even when used correctly is 100% effective, but I just want this so badly. I have talked to my husband who is trying to put my mind at ease but I just can't stop these thoughts. Sorry for the essay, my boobs are huge and hurt even if I turn over in bed, while I haven't been vomiting, I feel nauseous on and off most days and have completely gone off the ten black coffees a day I used to drink and instead have gone onto milky tea (very strange to me!) Am I just worrying because I have realised this means so much to me and has anybody else experienced anything similar? Thanks in advance.
