Positive tests after years trying and feeling more anxious than excited

[Rma13]

My husband and I have been trying for baby number 2 for 8 years with no success, we decided two months ago we couldn't go through the negative tests any more and we'd just focus on our beautiful miracle of a 10 year old.

Over the weekend I took 3 tests because something didn't feel right. I took a strip test, a normal test and a digital test. All came back positive! We are in shock. My husband is so excited, however I just feel anxiety, I'm nauseated, my breasts are sore and all I keep thinking is how is it real? Is it real or is it wrong? My son unfortunately overheard my husband talking and now he's singing around the house "I'm going to be a big brother" he's so excited but what if its wrong? Do I really have to wait until 12 weeks to see on screen and hear babies heartbeat and then what if I find out that its not really positive?

Sorry for the long post not even sure of its purpose I just need to get my feelings out

Congrats Op. Maybe you can book an early scan for 7/8 weeks to check everything is in the right place and when it’s likely to have a little heart flickering away so you can relax a little. I know it really helped me.

Your feelings are completely valid and normal. Your in shock, and after wanting, waiting and all the other things that come with trying for so long you have a lot to process. Try not to stress, you can book a private scan at 6+ weeks (which will still feel like a lifetime I know!)
All the best OP!
