When did YOU start feeling calmer? :)

LaraHanson1LaraHanson1
in 1st Trimester

Hi, ladies -

I'm sure you've ALL been there...but when did everything settle for you, mentally? I'm 10 weeks - the heartbeat was strong at 7 1/2 weeks, then today I had a viability scan and the HB was good (a little slower, but the MD said that's normal) and the baby was a good size. I could even see him/her moving around a TON. Crazy!

While I realize there's always risk, especially in the first 12 weeks or so, I'm having such a hard time settling my mind...I always get super panicky before ultrasounds. At this point I've had 4 and all have been perfect - when did you take big sigh of relief? Anything that calmed you down? There's no indication of any issue - everything (knock on wood!) is just as it should be...

Silly, I realize, and I'm trying to think happy thoughts - but it's TOUGH, especially seeing so many negative things on some of these boards!

    Hey there!! I started to feel calmer around 8 weeks, ONLY because I told myself to live everyday to the fullest as a very happy blessed pregnant lady!!!! I am a true believer in "Everything happens for a reason" and "Positive thoughts can lead to positive actions" I know this pregnancy is in God's hands and only His. Sooo just be HAPPYYYYY because really it's out of our control what can happen! Just do things to take care of you and baby to the fullest..  :) I also find that some of the 1st tri board can be a bit sad, my heart goes out to everyone on this board that's had/having hard times and I Pray everytime I see something, but if it helps go to 2nd tri and lurk around and see what the future can hold! I hope this helps :) Enjoy the rest of your day!!!

    With DD I was extremely nervous .. for really no apparent reason because everything was going fine. I started feeling better at 13 weeks because I felt that was the "safe" zone. Then I started feeling her kick pretty early at 14 weeks and never looked back! lol

    This time I havn't really been nervous at all, which is surprising, but I'm thankful.

    I'm having a tough time believing everything is going to be okay, especially because I'm drawn to stories, both here and elsewhere, where everything was NOT okay, and things didn't work out.  I'm trying to be kind to myself and take it easy and remember to breathe.  :-)

    I was young and naieve when I had DS. I didn't hear the heartbeat until 16 weeks because I was tiny and a FTM.

    This time, even though we heard the heartbeat at 10 weeks, I'm still a bundle of nerves. I think, having a previous loss (even an early CP) is making it worse. I have a friend loaning me her doppler (she was anxiety riddled too after having a loss between her 2 girls) and I can't wait until it gets here.

    I will probably feel better when the baby is here and in my arms, healthy.

    To be honest, as a momma, there will always be something for you to worry about! haha Whether its when you hear your babies heart beat, see him/her on the u/s, hold him in your arms, when you go back to work, ....etc etc etc. It never ends! :-)

    As a second time mom I will tell you I never calmed down.  Not in pregnancy or after.  And this time around I am even more nervous, especially when I don't feel him moving as much as usual.  

     The troubles of a mother never stop.

    I freaked out from weeks 4-7, was sick as hell weeks 6-9.  Now I'm finally feeling good and I guess my worries are mostly gone. 

    My first appointment is at 12.5 weeks, so at first I felt like I was in limbo.  My doc didn't even send me a list of things to do/not do, eat/not eat, etc.  I think I'm pretty now comfortable with what I'm eating and the things I'm doing, so I'm pretty relaxed.  I hope after my appointment I'll be even more relaxed.  Good luck!
