I'm so paranoid... can't wait for u/s

in Pregnant after IF

I'm so worked up over this pregnancy.  I'm almost afraid to even call myself pregnant.  I'm 4 weeks and 2 days today, based on ovulation.  I won't get an u/s until I'm 5 weeks, 6 days.  No more blood work.

I find myself getting super worried that something is wrong when I don't have any symptoms.  Just 3 days ago, I was slightly nauseous and had minor pinching and cramping most hours of the day.  Now, I only have nausea when I'm in the car.  And the cramping is pretty much gone.

It's making me crazy!  Can anyone tell me I'm not alone?  Any advice or support is appreciated.

Thanks ladies.

    You aren't alone. Wink  I had no symptoms really until 6 weeks so the first couple of weeks were hard.  I just had to tell myself that I had a strong beta and no reason to think things were not ok.  Hang in there, the first couple of months of pg are full of worry!

    I felt exactly the same way that you do sweetie (and still do).  Try and relax as much as possible...I know, easier said that done.  For what its worth, I am 7 weeks with twins and still have had only very mild symptoms (a little nausea and fatigue but that's it).

    I've felt some m/s maybe 3 days of this PG.  Other than being tired, I feel perfectly normal.  I was the same way with my son, minus the m/s Just be happy you don't have symptoms!  At 16w, I have no belly.  I could definitely be one of those people who didn't know they were PG for frickin' ever if I didn't pay attention.

    You're definitely not alone. I went through the same thing in the first tri. I didn't really start admitting to myself that this pregnancy might stick until after my 12 week u/s. Even now I worry that I am going to go to the doctor one day only to find that something terrible has happened. I will say that it does get better the further along you get.

    Good luck at your u/s!

    You are not alone! It's all I think of all day. I KNOW I am over thinking things and should try and relax but its so hard. Every twitch, disappearing sympton, etc. I am so paranoid! This whole "waiting til the first trimester is over and out of the woods" deal is very cruel! :)

     

    Remind yourself of this: you are entitled to a happy and healthy pregnancy and precious little baby just like everyone else is.
