Overly Paranoid?!?!

in 1st Trimester

Maybe its just me, maybe its because this is my first pregnancy but I have been super paranoid all the time!  I'm constantly worried that something is going to happen to the baby. I keep making sure I have the same symptoms (morning sickness, nauseous, food aversions) each day.  Am I going crazy?!?!

 

I know so many people who have had miscarriages lately and it really has me on edge.

    haha thanks! I keep texting my best friend asking her all kinds of crazy questions. She is also pregnant but this is her second one. So I have someone to go to about it all but I REALLY just want that U/S that will show me my little one so I can at least rest a little easier Smile

    This is my first pregnancy too.  I am constantly paranoid.  I am extremely conscientious of my symptoms and also the food that I consume and the amount of water I drink.  My doctor also told me to cut my fitness activity down to 75% effort.  I just forced myself to go to sleep last night, because I couldn't shut my mind off.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that is feeling that way!

    I'm really paranoid, too.  I feel like time is moving so slowly.  I have even called the doctor to ask when they're going to do a sono so that I can hear the heart beat.  This is my first and, like you, I know LOTS of people that have had miscarriages.  Reading all of the forums about what is going on with other people and their struggles certainly doesn't help.  I keep double checking all of my symptoms, too!  I've even thought about getting more pregnancy tests to make sure I'm still pregnant!  Since this is my first, I don't really know what's normal and I've been relying on the internet WAY TOO MUCH, because otherwise I'd be calling my doctor constantly.  Hang in there. :)

    I was like that the first time.  Based on my experience, I now know the only thing worrying does is rob you of the joy of each day of your pregnancy.  If you are following basic common sense - cutting out alcohol, limiting caffeine, not using street drugs, not doing extreme sports with chance of abdominal injury, etc. - then there is literally nothing you can do to cause or prevent a pregnancy loss.  Drink your water, eat as well as you can depending on how you are feeling, and realize that each day you have your baby with you is a gift.  No one is guaranteed tomorrow for anything, and all that worrying does is lead to regret later that you did not enjoy the moment when you had it.  

    Today you and your baby are healthy, cherish that, enjoy it, and do not let worry rob that from you.  Sometimes it can help to go shopping for the baby and buy something small...it can boost your positive feelings and help you connect a little.

    Hang it there!

    We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013.  We love her to pieces.  

    We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011.  She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.

    I agree with this 100%.. I know it's easier said than done but find something to keep your mind off things. A hobby or activity. You may say right now "Oh once LO is in my arms I will feel so much better!" The reality of it is that once your LO arrives, you are going to find a million and one things to worry about. I am not saying this to scare you, but to help you. I was the same way and I have tried to just let some things go-- if you don't it will consume your life and you won't get to full enjoy these first few years you have with LO!

    Ya'll are so right! And yes it is easier said than done but I understand. I've always been a worry wart so that doesn't help at all. But I am so excited about being a mom. I just need to think about all that and how my LO is growing each day. Ya'll are the best!
