My crazy is in overdrive

cporfido1981

Since I found out I was pregnant I have been extremely paranoid . We ttc 15 months w dd and 6 months with this lo . I thought for sure I would be off the wall excited. Instead I keep thinking there is something wrong , I am a nervous reck and to scared to enjoy my pregnancy thus far . I hate that all this worry, and it  is all I think about .   Has this happened to anyone else ?

I feel EXACTLY the same way! My son wasn't a planned pregnancy, and since I didn't realize I was pregnant for the first few months, I skipped over the scariest part. But this time around, all I'm doing is worrying about everything. How much food I'm eating, is it the right food, could this hurt the baby, is this pain normal? It's driving me crazy! DH keeps trying to reassure me that I'm doing everything right, and I know I am, but I just can't relax!

This is my first pregnancy. I started out worried, but I came to the realization (after much prayer, many talks with DH, so on) that there is nothing I can do to stop whatever "could" happen, so until something is clearly wrong, I am going to enjoy being pregnant! I will feel way better after the first appointment next Tuesday is over. Until then, I am not going to seek out any new information on what could go wrong (and try to forget what I already read ), but I just feel so happy right now and nothing is going to stop that!

I agree with kbow213. I was doing lots of reading right in the very beginning, and it got me so worried. This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea what is normal, and what is not (hence all of the googling I did in the beginning). I spent a lot of time telling my husband about my worries, and have realized that I am doing everything I can, so I might as well just enjoy being pregnant because we are VERY excited about it. I wish everyone a healthy and happy nine months!!

I've been the same way.  This is my first pregnancy, and I really wanted to get pregnant.  I really thought I would have been more excited!  It's a strange feeling.  My worry and paranoia has slowly been wearing off though; however, I did get to see the heartbeat last week.  That's probably what has helped me.

I also found that the more I stayed away from reading about pregnancy (and all that can go wrong) and researched actual baby items and gear, it tends to shift my mood a bit more too!

I was the same way. Google is off-limits, and after all of the anxiety I was starting to put myself through, I have no desire to search around anymore!

 

H&H 9 months to everyone!
