AW: I'm 9 weeks today!!!

cara-n-steve

I know I'm still really early, but I never thought I would even make it this far!  I have my first OB appointment on Wed and of course I've been driving myself nuts about it.  I'm so afraid they are going to tell me something is wrong....Being nausus and bloated comforts me because it makes me feel like things will be OK.  Does this feeling ever go away?!?!

On another note, I'm having bumping withdrawal!  I'm still in NJ and haven't been able to get on as much a I normally do.  I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!!!!!

Congratulations on 9 weeks!

I don't think the worry really goes away, but I had tons of anxiety in the first tri and it has definitely gotten better

Good luck at your OB appointment!

Congrats on 9 weeks!! I feel that worry all the time. I'm glad to hear that Im not the only one. I'm afraid to share our news with everyone because of it. I want to get through the first trimester but Im sure I'll worry about making it to viability next. I'm glad I have the wonderful ladies of this board!

I don't think you ever stop worrying completely but after the n/t scan the worry level went down a bit!

Congrats on 9weeks!

Congrats on 9 wks and GL at your OB appt. And unfortunately the worry never stops, for me it just lessened in how often it happens. When you start feeling the baby move and having appts where you get to hear the heartbeat, that really helps lessen the stress level. But I still worry if she's ok in there. Did she not move as much today as she normally does or did I just not pay attention? Was that movement she just made normal or is something wrong? Was that a normal pg related pain/cramp/ache? It's hard being pg on it's own, but when you combine that with all that we went through to get pg, I think it makes it worse. We've worked so hard and so long to get to where we are that unfortunately it comes with the IF territory to be constatly worried. I was talking to one of the OB nurses the other day and I told her that I hate being so paranoid, but she understood and really in the end that's all I needed was someone to be able to give me answers and tell me everything is ok. It does get easier the farther in you get, at least it did for me, and I find that I have so many more good moments than bad. For me being pg has gone so fast and I would hate to look back on this time and realize I didn't enjoy it while it lasted.

Congrats! I know I feel better with every week that goes by. I'm still very nervous waiting for my NT scan on the 15th, but like you I take my symptoms as a sign everything is going okay (who knows if it's true or not!).

 Hope your appointment goes great!
