Any mommas out there feeling a lot of anxiety since your BFP? Don't get me wrong, I'm over-the-moon with happiness, but I worry constantly about all of the unknowns. I pretty much can't stop worrying... those negative what-ifs run through my head all day, especially because it's so early. I over analyze every cramp or weird feeling. it sucks asss! I wish I could feel normal!!

If this is / was you, what helps you not worry?

It's hard not too worry, but I just take the best care of myself that I can. Everything else is out of my control.

I'm also very nervous..it only took us 2 months of trying so part of me thinks the rest of this can't go so well. Also, I'm not feeling as nauseous or as tender of breasts as I was before I found out I was pregnant. So far, no spotting or anything though. Will be glad when July 13 and my first doctors appointment is here.

thank you girls!

I'm a huge worrier. I analyze everything from back pain to cramps and from temps to the darkness of my latest pee stick. Finally I just realized I need to rely on my faith, which is very important to me. I pray for a sticky baby and for peace. It's comforting to know God is in charge and his plan for me is better than my own.

I worry sometimes, but I try not to.

I think one of the things that helps me is that I don't think it is good for my baby to be flooded with stress hormones. I'm sure there is a study on that or something, I feel like I remember hearing about it when I was pregnant with my DD.

I also remind myself that there is nothing I can do right now to prevent a m/c or genetic problems with my baby, and that I am already doing everything I can.

I don't think you are alone in this. I think that once you deliver the baby or babies is when you finally find relief. And then the raising a baby anxiety kicks in. LOL... I'm trying my hardest to think as positive as possible. I hope to feel a little more relieved after our first doctors appointment.

This is me too. I'm trying to take the best care of myself that I can and do things that are within my control, and let go of the rest. I try to keep in mind that worrying isn't good for me or the baby.

Yes, I am anxiety-ridden, especially after a CP in April and then some early bleeding with this one. Luckily I SAH with my 2 y/o so I'm pretty distracted most of the day.

I definitely worry. I try not to, but just this morning I was noticing less boob soreness and had to convince myself that it was nothing.

This is me too! I am trying not to question little twinges and things. I am just trying to be positive and healthy!

I imagine it's nervous to worry, especially in the beginning when your body hasn't changed much yet, no kicks, etc. You just rely on the fact of hope, and hope all is ok.

I do worry a bit, but not enough that it controls me or anything. I'm usually a positive person

I am stressing/worrying/having anxiety on so many levels right now. I just found out that I am preggers two days ago which turned out to be a complete surprise and only did a HPT bc I had one left over and finally realized that my period was a week late. Not being able to go see a doctor until the 8-10 week mark is stressing me since this is really my first pregnancy and I have no idea what to expect. I had a previous m/c but did not even know I had been preggers until well into the m/c six years ago. Though my BF is happy and he has wanted children most of his adult life, due to the physical distance between us, I kinda feel like I am alone in this right now even though I know he will support me in anyway possible, him not being here is becoming very hard on me (and I just found out). Then I am not really displaying many symptoms - no tender breasts, slight nausea started the day after I found out while I was eating lunch and I am truly not sure if this is mental or not but it is so not me to no be able to finish a small salad and micro meal for lunch bc I am usually hungry after the fact. Then to top it off I feel lost and not in control at the moment probably bc of all of the unknowns.

Knowing everyone has cramps makes me feel better. I would only worry I u see blood (and even that is normal most of the time). Just try to relax and know there's nothing you can do right now! That's how I get by but I know it's easier said than done. Hang in there!
