1st Trimester

2nd time + moms please come in

I work from home so I have a lot of time to myself.  (It def has its pros and cons LOL).  Anyway - when I was pregnant with my first I was very very busy my entire first trimester!  It was great!  I had little spare time to be on here, LOL and had little time to worry about everything.

Anyone else anxious this time around?  I am 9w and have no reason to believe anything is wrong.  In fact, I don't think anything is wrong.  I just feel anxious!  Could also be because we let the cat out the the bag much sooner this time....

  • I was kind of the opposite.  A nervous wreck last time and now have been much calmer this time around.

  • Same as pp for me.  I think I'm probably more laid back this time than the last time.  The first time around I worried about a lot more, and followed every pregnancy rule in the book.  Now I'm a bit more chill about the whole thing.  Maybe too much so - we've alreay told our entire family and my closest friends!

  • We got pregnant with my first our first cycle trying and had a textbook pregnancy.  Sure I worried, but it was so easy.

    Since then we've had 3 miscarriages.  

    I am definitely a lot more stressed this time around.

    This is also me. Parenthood has been kind to me. I freaked over everything last time, and my DD is just perfect. I figure worrying or not, my kid will come out how he or she is supposed to.

  • I really think it is because I spend too much time on here.  Its the internet - there are thousands of lurkers with zero complications!  I know its reality, but reading posts about missed miscarriages is freaking me out.  I am not trying to sound insensitive as I know this is a sad reality for some.  I just think that a bump break is in order for me.

     

    See ya on the second tri!

  • I'm a little more anxious this time around as this will be our last.  We have 2 girls already and both were textbook pregnancies although the last ended with an emergency C-section and medical issues (not c-section related) that we're finally seeing the end of.

     I'm mostly anxious about the decisions I have to make this time around and hoping that this tiny one is healthy.  Plus, the pressure's on for a boy from both our families. *eyeroll*

  • In some ways I'm a bit calmer this time around but (and I know this might seem like a silly reason) one reason I worry is that this is our last and we actually timed it perfectly this time around. With DS we started shooting for June but it didn't happen until much later and we ended up with a December baby. DH is a teacher and has other responsibilities during the year so we really wanted a summer baby this time around so he could be around to help out more. 

    And like pp, I worry too about some of the financial issues, especially with state budget cuts this year. Better start looking at WAHM options again! 

    One thing for sure about this time around is that I'm a SAHM and as a result, I don't have as much to keep me busy and I have to say, it seems like time is crawling so much more slowly. Only family knows right now so I'm just itching to tell people but want to wait at the very least until after the 1st u/s.

  • With #2, I forgot I was PG half the time b/c I was so busy working full time and chasing around a toddler. The entire pregnancy FLEW by. This time? Pfft.  

    Oh wait, you mean I'm PG?

  • My first pregnancy went great and happened so quickly.  This time around we had 2 miscarriages at 5 weeks 3 days  , I am just about 9 weeks now and am very nervous.   My belly is sticking right out there now so its pretty obvious I am pregnant but Im so nervous to say anything.  I can relate for sure.

  • I'm much more nervous this time... I go for my first ultrasound on Tuesday and i've almost convinced myself that something is going to be wrong or that the doctor is going to tell me that i'm crazy and not really pregnant haha.  I have no reason to think this, i'm just being paranoid.  I work part-time and stay at home with my son most of the time, but with my first pregnancy I was working all the time so I think being busier helped me worry less last time.  I guess I just won't feel any better about this until I actually hear a little heart beat :o)

    I completely agree with this!!  I wasn't on the Bump at all last week and I was a lot less anxious, yesterday I decided to get back on here and kept reading about missed miscarriages and first appts where there was no heart beat and it freaked me out again!

  • I'm definitely less anxious this time around, although everyone says the second pregnancy flies by because you're busy chasing around your first but I have not found this to be true.  I feel like I've been pregnant for a year already!  It probably doesn't help that I've had my head in the toilet for the last 6 weeks.

  • I'm nervous this time around because I had a m/c in the spring. However I just got my betas in and everything looks good so far. I'm not nervous about logistics or what to expect during pregancy this time around since I've been through it before. I think once I have a ultrasound I will feel more relaxed this time around as well.

    This exactly. Having two in daycare is like having another mortgage. And...I need a new car. Mine is old and has been paid off for three years now, the thought of an extra car payment, along with doubling day care costs, stress me out.

  •  Last time I was fine. This time I am a nervous wreck! I guess I was to naive to be nervous before, but know I know all that can go wrong. We are very excited, but I cant wait until we tell everyone ( we are shooting for Thanksgiving).

  • I'm actually SO much calmer this time. Last time I had nothing to focus on but the pregnancy, but now I'm so busy with my daughter that I have to remember I'm pregnant sometimes!  Also, I think with my first pregnancy I just couldn't really wrap my head around the fact that my body could actually grow a baby without input from my brain. This time I trust the process a lot more.
