It is silly but I get nervous when I tense up

FALLENWINGZ11

Yesterday I was driving & the woman in front of me hit her breaks for a deer and I stopped short feeling my whole body tense up. I sat there for like 1 minute while people honked at me wondering if my tensing could 'hurt' my baby at all... it sounds silly and so dumb but it is honestly what I thought! I was just walking out to the WH @ work and someone had spilt water. Well I ALMOST slipped but just kindof jerked myself up by pulling in my stomach.. once again I kind of freaked! It is SO dumb & i am so early but I am just so attached to this kid already! I wish i could just chill

All of a sudden I'll realize that my stomach is tense, like I'm trying to hold something in. I have to take the time to consciously relax myself & remind myself that tightening my stomach is not going to prevent anything. It's definitely silly. Hang in there, I hope some of our nervousness goes away over the upcoming weeks!

Sorry, don't know what happened there!

Me too - I have had a few moments where I jump in traffic, or at work if someone startles me, and I take a minute and put my hand on my belly and breathe for a second and tell her I'm sorry!

I did the same thing. I lifted one of those heavy office water coolers, and ended up dropping it on my foot. I called my husband crying b/c I thought I dislodged the baby. How silly we can be sometimes...

Thanks for psoting this - I am the same way and feel less like a dork.
