word for when you feel less than fearful, esp. when trying new experiences.

Sometimes when you are trying a new experience, you get ‘concerned’ as to how things will play out when doing anything outside of your comfort zone.

‘Butterflies-in-stomach’ is part of it but is there any other word which tells/shares the same emotion ?
