Pregnant after IF

Vent - Argument W/ Family

We were supposed to go up to visit my family in NH this weekend.  My parents come see us a lot and my brother was just here last weekend, but I haven't seen his kids since Thanksgiving.  I was really looking forward to it, but I was also anxious about making the trip b/c it's 7 hours away. 

After the anxiety I had on Wed. night w/ those weird tightening feelings I was having, I was just really uncomfortable with the idea.  Not only the drive, but just worries about what I would do if something went wrong...I was just uncomfortable being away from home I guess.

We decided to bag the trip.  My parents were disappointed but understood, but my brother took it personally, thinking I don't have faith in him as a Dr. (he's a GP too, not even an OB!) b/c he would make sure if anything happened I would be taken care of. 

Ego much?  I realize I'm probably more cautious than most pg ladies...IF really instills that fear in us!  I don't expect him to totally get it...but I wish he would at least realize it's not about HIM.   

At this point I feel like me and DH have to do what's best for us, though.
