Ugh!! Will it EVER just STOP?? *Pity Party*

The worrying that is. I'm always worrying about something that turns out to be nothing. During my first trimester I worried about miscarrying. That didn't happen. At the beginning of my second trimester I worried about my baby not having legs. That's not the case and I know that was quite outrageous to worry about. A few weeks ago I worried about lack of movement and thought something had happened. I went to the doctor to listen to the heartbeat for reassurance and I heard it beating away.

Now for about a week I've been worrying about high blood pressure. I heard the doctor ask a nurse outside of the door at my last appointment "did her blood pressure go down?" I don't even know if they were talking about me, but of course I got worried and stupid me didn't ask about mine. We have an on-site nurse at work so I emailed her and asked her to take a reading. It was 110/54, which is on the low side (it always is), but is still ok. The nurse said she can monitor me as much as I want and I can take my chart to my doctor when I go. It's a huge relief and I really appreciate her doing it, but I still can't find myself at ease. I just keep wondering what's next.

It's so hard for me to accept that I'm having a perfect pregnancy. His fetal survey turned out to be perfect. His fluid, heart, organs, brain, etc. are perfect. I just wish I could feel at ease.

Am I alone in this? Is there anyone else out there that feels like this?

Yeah, I think that comes with the whole being a mother package.

I've noticed that my anxiety is definitely higher.  I'll cry because I'm afraid the baby will die, that something will be wrong, that we won't have enough money, that something will happen to my husband, on and on.  It's like logic left the building and all that's left is a sobbing mess that my DH has to deal with.

I freak out all the time too!! I think we are normal. I told my dh I would stop freaking out when I got into the 2nd tri. That didn't happen!! LOL! Good luck with everything!

I don't think the worrying is going to stop...sounds like an anxious parent to me..(trust me when I say I'm right there with you...)

I bled a little, complete panic sends me to the ER over nothing although better safe than sorry when blood is involved IMO. Still can't feel baby moving yet (just shy of 18wks) and I am going crazy waiting for tomorrow's appt to make sure everything is still going as good as it was in the ER....

Morning sickness is still hanging around every so often and I worry about never feeling 'normal' again.

I think worrying is just in a mother's nature and we are just getting in some really good practice...GL hun!

Nope, it won't ever end!

I told my sister (who has a 1 year old) how I worry, and she told me to get used to it!  It only continues once they are born and start growing up.  It comes with the whole being a parent package.

Wow, I guess I'm going to be a horrible mother because I don't worry about a lot.  I do think about the things that could go wrong, but I tell myself that a.) it probably won't happend and b.) there's nothing I can do about it if it does happen.

I've been worrying some but mostly just because of my previous losses so far. I worry because I'm not feeling as sick as I was yet I can't feel movement yet, obviously, so I worry that something's wrong. I have just been trying to stay busy to keep my mind off things and not overstress about it since it's out of my hands at this point.
