1st Trimester
Things You're Doing or Not Doing Because You're Paranoid? :)
I am so freaked out right now to do anything that might cause the baby to detach. I know this is irrational, but I can't help it. LOL. Is there anything you are or aren't doing because of your irrational paranoia?
Here's what I'm doing....
1. Driving slowly over speed bumps (I even did this when TTC because I thought it would make the sperm fall out)
2. Not moving quickly or bouncing around too much. Lowering myself to my chair softly, etc.
3. Unbuttoning my pants. Part of this is because I am bloated, but I mainly don't want to squish the poppy seed.
4. Told DH he isn't allowed to pat my butt anymore because I don't want the pat to reverberate through my body and cause the poppy seed to fall out.
So now that you know I'm a bit psycho, LOL, what are you doing or not doing that you know is totally irrational?

I'm VERY paranoid as well! But i wouldn't go THAT far
I know the baby is just a little seed currently but what is meant to be will happen! I wouldn't over think it! I'm more worried about what i eat and how much i eat!
H & H 9 months to you
Having sex, lol. I am 7 weeks and haven't had sex since our positive pregnancy test. I am also afraid to exercise because I'm afraid of hurting the baby in any way. I know both of these things are irrational, but I want to be super safe.
I also find myself Googling *everything* before I eat it. I'm a little paranoid in that respect.
Have sex is the only thing! haha! We've only bd once since BFP. Once I am over the scary time we will be back at it. I've had one m/c and one successful pg and with the successful one we did the same thing.
fwiw I met with my Dr today and she reassured me that nothing I do or don't do (well other than the obvious like drink and smoke) will cause me to m/c!
I'm still running, exercising and having sex. It's my diet that has me paranoid. I'm following all the usual rec's of limit caffeine, alcohol, heat your lunch meats, etc. But I'm also neurotic about artificial stuff and chemicals, so I've been avoiding artificial sweeteners, food colorings/dyes, non-organic produce, and the like.
Off topic, but your SN makes me giggle every time.
THIS ISN'T THE BUMP, THIS IS SPARTA!!!

3. Okay... I'll give you this one due to discomfort from bloating (but I side eye your actual reasoning).
4. ::eye roll::
I think you are more than paranoid. Based on this post alone, you sound like a complete moron. You're just over 4 weeks along, so I suggest you get a grip. If you're this "paranoid" already, I cannot even imagine how you will be able to handle the worries that come after the baby is born... GL to you.
ETA: Yes, it is normal to have worries when pregnant, but the examples you provided are absolutely ridiculous.

All of this.
Hahaha I am apparently the COMPLETE opposite of you. I found out I was pregnant a week ago, and this past weekend I spent 1.5 hours jumping around on trampolines at a trampoline park! Although I was a tiny bit nervous that I was doing the wrong thing, everybody assured me it would be fine, and so far so good! No spotting or any other signs that I caused any harm. And I had a blast!
So I'm betting that speed bumps and butt pats aren't going to be a problem for you.
Quite a while ago I used to lurk/post in TTGP. I can only imagine the kind of responses this would have gotten there. Ha.
After 2 years of TTC#1, 2 losses, & a lot of prayers, we're hoping this is it!
This will be my first child so just to make sure it stays inside I am walking on my hands so everything stays inside. I also make sure I wear padded bike shorts to make sure my butt is padded and any acccidental bumps are absorbed before it shakes my belly.
I'm paranoid too but life happens and you can't be in a bubble or you a in trouble when you child grows up. They will fall, bleed, possibly break, and who knows what else. My nephew is a wild child and he's only 1.5 yrs old!
You don't have to imagine. Here.

This! How do some of these women actually raise children?!!!!!
As someone who participated in an indoor rock climbing competition the night before I got a bfp, I can tell you that not even climbing, falling, and jumping for 3 hours knocked my DD loose. I was probably 7-8 weeks at the time and had no idea I was pregnant bc we weren't ttc (we weren't tta either).
I'm not saying climbing while pregnant is a good thing to do- had I known, I would not have participated, but my point is there is a LOT of padding in there and you will have a very long and unnecessarily frustrating 9 months if you go slow over every speed bump you pass over, etc.
Repeat after me: Calm down, it will be ok.
