Need comfort.....

Shanbrady

So we just found out yesterday we are expecting with a HPT it's our first...Best day ever! Until i started searching online and found out about chemical pregnancy....I'm nervous about it. Does anyone have any comforting things to say.....or advice? Thank you

*I feel a lot better! I know that if I start to freak come here first. I'm going to do things that take it off my mind.....where do you get the icons you have under your tickers...I'm looking for due in October :):)

step away from the google. you will make yourself nuts trying to figure out every single little twinge, etc. re: pregnancy.

congrats on your bfp! call your OB to schedule a 1st appt (you may not be seen until you are 8 weeks or more) and in the meantime, relax. everything in moderation.

Sit back and relax, as hard as that is to do, there is nothing you can do about it so you may as well just let nature take its course, stay positive and hope for the best!

Well, I hope you feel better soon!

Shanbrady- really though, try to relax and congrats! There's a lot you could worry about... but don't!

congratulations.  the best thing you can do is stay positive and assume evrything is fine until a doctor tells you otherwise.  it is far more likely that everything will work out perfectly, we just tend to obsess over all the "what ifs".  if someone told you had more than an 80% chance of winning the lotto, you'd buy a ticket right.  try flipping the stats around and you may feel better.

enjoy the fact that you are going to have a baby and save the worrying for when he or she is a teenager!

Keep in mind that you're more likely to have a healthy pregnancy than not.

I am shocked that Jenerally told you to step away from google....ha ha ha.  I agree when it comes to just random pregnancy searching.  However if you have questions about what to eat, what is safe, what is normal....it is a good place to get information. 

Try to stay calm and enjoy this time!!

First, congrats!!! 

Second, don't worry!  If there's a problem, you're body will let you know.  Worrying is just unnecessary stress, which isn't good for you or baby.

Welcome!

My Dr. told me to stay away from Google b/c half the things you read are not true and cause you to worry unnecessarily. I find that a little funny, since so many people on this board are pro-Google but are also pro-"ask your Dr." In my case, those two things are mutually exclusive. LOL

I understand how you feel. I posted a similar comment. I'm 7+ weeks along, but don't think I'll feel comfortable celebrating until I make it to the second trimester.  However, what everyone says is true-  it's better not to drive yourself crazy.  Google can be a good source for some things, but any real concerns you have should be left for your doc.  If I have a question I want to Google, I'm having my husband look it up and give me the sensored version.  I also find blogging on here to be comforting... it's nice to hear about the concerns and positives from others.
