New, and sooo anxious.

shawnandemma

This is my first pregnancy, and I am far too anxious. I know I shouldn't be worried, as I am young, and relatively healthy. I don't smoke, and I haven't had caffeine since I found out I was pregnant. (other than some chocolate here and there.) I try to eat as healthy as possible, and drink enough water, but I definitly don't drink eight to ten glasses a day. I am constantly drinking juice. (which I know isn't the same. but makes up for some of the hydration.)

 My husband and I are very excited. I just worry that something terrible is going to happen. The internet is my bestfriend (and worst enemy.) If something was going wrong I would definitly know, right? two weeks from now I have my second prenatal appointment (ten weeks!) and I am terrified I will have my first ultra sound and be devestated.

I suppose I just need some reassurance, and maybe some advice as to how to maintain a positive out look.

 

thank you.

You're not alone, just know that .  I can't really answer any of your questions, nor can I really give advice, being in the same boat (first pregnancy).  Just wanted to say best of luck throughout your pregnancy and parenthood!

You're doing everything you can. Sit back and enjoy your pregnancy. You don't want to look back at it and think "if only I had taken some time to enjoy the fact that I was going to have a baby".

And perhaps talk to your dr about your anxiety. They should be able to reassure you and give you some tips on coping.

Thank you so much for the input, I guess I am just overwhelmed, and definitly more emotional. seeing babies makes me tear up, its pathetic!

I appreciate your advice.. and I am trying to enjoy my self.
