Paranoid much?

JThomas221 · December 2010

Before I got pregnant, I knew that pregnancy wouldn't stop me from doing most things in my daily life, at least during the 1st tri. I knew that I could still have sex, exercise, and carry on with my normal activities, with a few precautions. I used to lurk on 1st tri and I always thought those pregnant women were so silly in worrying that they were hurting their baby at every turn. Didn't they know better? Now look at me, I'm one of them! Embarrassed

Ever since I got my BFP 11 days ago, I worry with every stretch, strain, and cramp. I look for AF at every trip to the bathroom. From some of the other posts on this board, I can see that I'm not alone in my worrying. When did we all get so crazy?!? lol

I'm five weeks too and i'm driving myself crazy. I just wish my doctor would continue to check my hcg level or something but i know that's crazy. This is my first pregnancy and it happened on the first try, so i feel like it was too easy and something will go wrong. I just want my first appt to get here! it's not until 12.30

I'm pretty paraniod too. I feel like any movement where I am using my lower stomach muscles is going to damage the baby.

I even had DH grab the remote for me that was 3 ft. away, because I didn't want to stretch to get it.

I just got my BFP a couple days ago, so I feel like it might not be completely implanted yet. I am only 13 dpo. Hopefully I will be less paranoid when I get further along.

I was like that, too, with my first pregnancy. I'm much more mello this time around. Today, I even ate *gasp* a little sushi for dinner.

We are all a bunch of craziness here. Irrational worrying must be a pregnancy symptom.

I am in the same boat! I have always been a bit of a worrier, so I'm not completely surprised by all my nervousness, but it's getting a little out of control. It's not so much with my daily actions and what I do or don't do that I worry- it's the unknown and the lack of control. I am trying to relax and just tell myself that everything is going to be wonderful and perfect!

I'm really worried.....but my first pregnancy was ectopic. Every little twinge worries me. I'm trying to relax, but sometimes it is just hard (plus I am naturally a worrier). I am trying to be optimistic everything will be okay.

I hear you. Even though this is my second pregnancy and I already know what to expect, I still am a bit nervous. Last time, the doc saw me at 5 weeks to at least do bloodwork, but this time, I have to wait until 9 weeks to even get seen! Jan 3rd seems like forever away, and I think until I see my baby on the u/s screen that day, I will be a worry wart.

I think it comes with the pink lines, they just don't tell you that in the test pamphlets.

I feel sorry that all of you have gone crazy...but I feel good to know that I am not crazy alone! I posted earlier that I have lost it!

I'm exactly the same!!

Yes I have lost it as well. We went to see the Zoo lights tonight and before we went I took another test. I have already gotten 2 positives plus a positve digital test. The line didn't look as dark to me tonight and the whole time we were drinking hot chocolate and looking at the lights and animals I was worrying that my hcg was dropping. When I got home I checked the test again and the line was nice and dark, darker than the previous 2. I'm totally paranoid.....
