Hi everyone,

I finally graduated to this board after being on TTC after 35 and Trouble TTCC for a while. My 3rd IUI worked. I am so thankful and greatful. I just had my 2nd beta done and it did not double but it was higher than 60% which they said was good. Next week I go for an ultrasound to see the yolk sac. I am so nervous and worried.  How do you get yourself to relax about everything? If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it! Thanks

Welcome and congratulations!

WOW! Congrats to you. I wish you a H&H 9 months.

As far as tips to relax. I cannot be of much help because I was the same way throughout the 1st tri. My advice would be just take it day by day. Try to think positive thoughts as well. Good luck!

Welcome & Congrats.  Stay positive and focused on the beauty of pregnancy.  Relaxation mentally was hard for me until after we had our amnio, but deep breaths and the joy of being pregnant got me through it. H&H 9 months

Congratulations!  I've said this before, the thing that made me relax the most was setting tiny milestones.  Instead of looking at the whole overwhelming pregnancy journey, we started measuring all the little things.  First u/s, end of 1st tri, different good test results, anatomy scan, etc.  Being a first time mom at 39 scared the crap out of me, but as we passed each little milestone, it was much easier for me to take it all in and enjoy it!

Don't stress the small things and enjoy this crazy & wonderful experience.  This board will be a great place for you to share, learn, vent and just keep company with some wonderful ladies!

Thanks everyone! I am trying to take it one test at a time but then I worry until that test so I will try to take it one day at a time.

All I can think of is yoga.  The first trimester is soooo stressful!  Good luck and congratulations, I am crossing my appendages for you!
