Just wanted to say... (quick vent & then it's over)

That all of this constant worrying about myself & the LO is for the birds! I have recently come to terms that I will probably worry if everything's ok until that baby is laying happy & healthy in my arms. I try not to worry too much, b/c I know NO MATTER WHAT, I will always be fine, but sometimes it REALLY gets to me, as I know it does all of you. Am I gaining enough weight? Why don't I look PG? Why won't the doctor do an u/s to ease my mind? Ugh...I will be glad when I get to worry about how I am going to get my house clean after the baby (after it's here of course) has destroyed it with all the toys? Or, did he just pee in my face? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

I know I sound like a crazy lady, and I promise I'm not always this pessimistic! Just having a moment and I need my bumpies

I have days like this all the time sweetie!  And we wonder why we are stressed.  Just take it easy and keep reminding yourself that you are pregnant, you love your baby, and that everything will turn out fine.  You don't sound crazy at all.....just normal!!

I'm with you!  And I've only just found out I was pregnant less than a week ago.  Every little pain/symptom freaks me out, and I worry it's not going to get any better until this LO is born healthy!   I just keep telling myself what everyone on here always says, "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby."  I also found a website that sends me a daily pregnancy positive affirmation to my email, and that's been helping a little, too.  So, don't worry, you are definitely not alone!

I've had so many of those days. Many times what frustrated me more than the anxiety was the fact that I felt I was missing my own pregnancy by worrying all the time! 

I know it seems far away now, but during third tri when you can feel your baby moving every day it's so much less stressful, and finally you can appreciate how wonderful it is to be pregnant. Hang in there.

I very much feel this way.  Part of me worries that it's really defeatest and  not the healthiest, but I KNOW it'll be OK.  When I started spotting in March before my first loss I couldn't imagine how we could live through it. . . and we did. . . and we did again. . . and we did again. . . so here we are.  I desperately want this little one to be my sticky baby. . . but I'm so neurotic.  Wow, it's unbelieveable. .

You definitely aren't alone! Try to keep busy while you can still move. The hardest part for me has been to ask questions at the Drs office and then trusting their answer.
