Anxious - 5 Weeks

AshleeK4211

5 weeks and 2 days, DH and I are waiting to tell close family members and friends after our 6 week ultrasound next week. It took us a year and fertility treatments, after finding out I had PCOS, to get pregnant. I know there are women out there who have had it a lot harder, but the in between stage is hard...not a ton of symptoms, feeling great and energetic, so it's difficult to not feel anxious about something going wrong or miscarrying. I am not pacing the floors, keeping busy and loving life, but my heart needs reassurance from time to time and there is only so much you can talk it out with your hubby. Can't wait to have a bump and feel the baby move. Steady my heart -- anxious rant over.

I know it is so hard to wait! I told my family with my first child around 61/2 weeks but I couldn't stand it and I told my sister at 5 weeks. Now that i'm pregnant with baby number 2 I will be holding off telling family. I want to wait till i have my 9 week ultra sound. It is so exciting telling people! Good luck!!

It's pretty normal to worry during 1st trimester (and throughout the entire pregnancy really).  Keep in mind that many women don't experience symptoms like morning sickness and fatigue until 6 weeks. Just do what you can to take care of yourself and baby, and try to relax. Worrying won't help anything!

I feel ya lady!

  We had not been trying, even though I've had baby fever since we got married in August, so we are very excited and happy, but after the initial excitement has come a wave of anxiety.

I haven't been doing all the things to 'prep' for being pregnant, and even though I'm healthy- I worry because in the last two weeks I've had to drive from NC to MI back and forth twice, lots of coffee and infrequent meals, not sleeping well, etc. I've also only lived in NC since January and I haven't even found a primary doctor- let alone an OB- so I feel very underprepared as well as nervous.

 I'll be praying for you, I can only imagine everything you have gone through to get to this point, maybe check in after?

I was so excited to tell people, but I am holding off. Its really hard but not I don't mind waiting just because I am really focusing on that ultrasound where I can see he/she. Well not to mention that my symptoms have escalated exponetially and I am focused on stayting sane and staying happy.

Congrats on your pregnancy and nothing but happy thoughts your way!

I am 5 weeks on the nose.  This is my 2nd and I think it's harder not telling people.  The nausea hit me today. STRUGGLING.  Sounds weird and as awful as it is, symptoms make me feel better.  

CONGRATS!

5 weeks and 1 day here and I dont think ill be able to see babys heartbeat at my first appointment so im a little bummed because i was planning on telling after that, My parents, aunt, sister, 2 BIL, a few close friends know because we were too excited to keep quiet. Kinda hoping to get morning sickness soon so i actually feel pregnant. Is that weird? I JUST WANNA TELL EVERYONE so i feel you. haha
