Ok I am not sure if I am the best person for this because I had 4 miscarriages before Connor. But because of that my entire pregnancy was filled with anxiety, fear, sadness and scary times. So that probably makes me an expert in exactly what you are feeling.
1. It is completely normal to feel what you are feeling. Especially for women who actually have to try to get pregnant.
2. A line is a line and that means you are pregnant. I was told by my acupuncturist that hpts are rarely wrong. If there is a line then you are pregnant. There is TONS of false negatives (testing too early) but false positives don't happen (we think/hope we see lines that are evaps but that is a whole other issue).
3.Seeing a doctor and finding out your numbers might help but not likely. It didn't really help me.
4. Don't feel like you have to stop thinking about it or feel like you shouldn't voice your concerns. Whatever you are feeling is valid and should be dealt with.
Ok done with the list. How did I get through the entire pregnancy. One day at a time. It is all you can do. I will tell you that each day gets a little easier and once you start hitting milestones (first week, first dr. appt, first month, first trimester...) you will feel better. You will feel more secure in your pregnancy. But you will worry from now until forever!
