Can't stop worrying...

epirani · September 2009

I am constantly worrying if I am really pregnant! I don't want to be this way but it is so hard. Any advice on how to make it better or encouragement? I know it is early and I shouldn't really feel much in the first place but it is so hard!

I've been the same exact way. I have a Drs apt tomorrow to just confirm the pregnancy and for blood work and probably family history. I think once I hear it from the Dr. I'll feel better about it! Im just trying to focus on the positives and just be happy that Im pregnant!

My doc said I don't need to go in for a blood test but I really think it would ease my mind. I am almost thinking about going to the health department and getting one anyways. I dunno I guess I am just paranoid

I will say its okay to feel however you want, but a mantra that has helped me from the SAL bored, is today I am pregnant and I love my baby, and no matter what you do, you will not effect the future.

I just came back from my 8 week appt. and I can say I don't "feel" pregnant like I did my 1st pg. It is amazing, but as they say every pg. is different, and I have been where you are and my new thing is I am not going to worry until I have something or they give me something to worry about.

Goodluck with everything!

I am VERY bored and lurking from parenting.

Just wanted to say that I was the exact same way when I got pg both times- I have two sons, 2.5 and 14 months.

I worried constantly and was convinced I was not pg because I didn't "feel" pg.

Well, I wish I could have back all that time that I spent worrying because I went on to have easy, almost symptom-free pg's both times! Trust your body and know that your little one is growing in there.

Good luck!

I am the same way! I was like that before our 1st appt, when I was almost 8 weeks. Now I'm nervous again before the 12 week when we'll have our NT ultrasound & blood test. It's hard not to worry! I'm really trying to tell myself to relax & trust that everything will be ok, but I totally know what you mean.

I think I'm worried to cuz Im still so early...I worry that Ill have a cp or m/c but Im trying to just be positive. I have been taking prenatals for a few months and I havent been drinking since I O'd just incase. Im actually surprised that my Dr was willing to see me so early. I called my Ob Gyn's office the day I got the "postive" and she knows about how far along I am and still agreed to see me tomorrow! I think it will just put my mind at ease for her to say the words "Yup you are definitely pregnant"

I was like that my first pregnancy, I was way too stressed from worrying. This time around I'm so laid back, only because I know from experience that worrying and stressing out doesn't do me any good, and most likely everything is perfectly fine.

I feel the same way as you ladies do, everytime I go to the bathroom I worry that i am going to see bright red blood.

Hopefully as time goes on I will feel less worried about things.

I absolutley think that you should. Something may come up in the blood tests that you and the doctor's need to watch.

I feel the same way right now. At this point in our PG, we can't feel the baby move, and we aren't showing so there's nothing that we can actually see. When you get your u/s, carry that little picture everywhere as a constant reminder!!!

i was the same way. try not to worry so much. it can be worse on your mind and body than what is actually going on, which is a healthy pregnancy! stay calm. it gets better, especially once you start feeling the movements. hang in there!

This is me EXACTLY. I breathe a tiny sigh of relief each time I come up without spotting.

I think once I'm able to get into the doctor I'll feel a little better about it.
