Not for me! LOL I want to get married first before even thinking of that next step. It seems though that my friends are starting to enter baby time. I have two due this year – one in July and one in September. Two good months in my opinion. So far everything seems to be going according to schedule for them. The babies are healthy and growing at a good rate. The one due in July is having a boy and the one in September is hoping to find out in a few weeks at her doctor’s appointment. I am truly excited for both of them.
But can I admit for a moment that I am scared to death of pregnancy! The thought of growing a baby for nine months and not really knowing what to expect during the first pregnancy has me worried and scared to death. There are so many unanswered questions that I have and the list grows longer. A few things I’m wondering about: Can I continue to exercise? Are there any foods I need to avoid such as peanuts? Will I be able to feel my baby moving around in me (I know so silly)? Can I have non-alcoholic beer? That is just the tip of the iceberg because I haven’t touched on medication, morning sickness, stretch marks, the birthing process. Wow!
Since I’m not too serious about trying to have a baby in the next year I feel silly asking my doctor about these questions. It seems a tad early you know. Luckily, my friends did listen to my mirage of questions and pointed me to the website they are using as it is a pretty comprehensive website. It is pregnancy.healthguru.com and it answers your questions and gives tips via videos not boring articles. So far I’ve been able to answer quite a few of my questions above but I’ll have to check with the doctor on that Odoul’s question.

You and me both! It really freaks me out to think about it. Since hubby and I have been married now for 2 years (in July) we are starting to try in May. Im a little nervous and not 100% ready, but I honestly dont’t think I would ever feel 100% ready. Hubby will be 30 next year and Im afraid to wait any longer sue to the fact you never really know how long it will take to even get pregnant, so May it is! Oh Gawsh!!

Good luck! I agree. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready. Hopefully everything will be bliss and you can help me in a few years when I finally have to face the clock.
