Why am I not the tiniest bit excited???

[nutskim]

We were TTC and were lucky enough to get a BFP 2 months later!!!
I am now 9 weeks, not had many symptons and had my 1st booking in appointment with the midwife.
I can't understand why I'm not the slightest bit excited, when it is what we wanted? Pretty terrified at the idea if I'm honest! My OH seems the same too?
I'm hoping my first scan will change my feelings when I see it on screen!
Has anyone else felt like this, or is there something wrong with me?

You'll feel it once you see that little heartbeat. To be honest I got pregnant for my OH more than me. I was a single mum for 12 years and my son is 13 so defo thought I was over the getting pregnant bit. I was very clinical and matter aof fact about things even when I miscarried last time but once I saw that heartbeat I fell in love totally. xxx

Hi hun, congratulations
Lol I have fallen pregnant after 10 years of no contraception so you'd think I'd be dancing on air......I am in a way but I think it's all been such a shock and of course I am now desperately worried that something will go wrong and I'll have to wait another 10 years. TTC is fun to start off with but the longer it takes it can be a massive pressure. Take each day as it comes, I found that once I saw Podge on screen my mind relaxed a bit but then I just loved her so much more for seeing she is real which has made me panic more lol. Its a vicious circle xxxxxxxx

Part of it is a protective mechanism I think. You don't want to let yourself get too excited until you know for sure it's a keeper. I've certainly felt more apprehensive than I thought I would.
