First Baby---Nervous

in December 2013 Moms
Hello everybody! I just found out I was pregnant and I am 5 weeks and completely happy and a bit nervous. I have been taking my prenatal religiously and have been eating healthy and drinking lots of water, organic milk with omega 3, and v8. It makes me feel good that I am putting good things into my body for me any my baby, but I still worry that something is going to go wrong. Does it get better as it goes and once you get to see your first ultrasound? Also, when is the best time to tell your family?

    Congrats : the feelings are normal; we don't get our first u/s until 20 weeks, but honestly we will probably be worrying about this baby for the rest of our lives haha.
    After 12 wks is when most tell everyone because your risk of m/c significantly drops; but its a personal choice as to when you tell.

    I'm a first timer too and I feel the exact same way! I'm about 5 weeks along and beyond paranoid. We have told our close friends and our immediate families because if something were to happen , we would want their support. But I still feel super scared something can happen as well!

    I think most moms are nervous, especially in the first trimester.  Keep doing everything you can to keep your baby healthy and I'm sure everything will be fine.  As far as telling family, or anyone else, I say do it when it feels right for you. This is my second pregnancy- the first pregnancy ending in a miscarriage.  I had told close family and friends with my first pregnancy and, when I miscarried,  I had so much love and support.  I was grateful not to go though it alone.  This go around, I told people the day I found out, which was at 4 weeks.  If you're nervous, wait.  If you're excited, tell people.  I hope that helps a little :)

    Thanks everybody! Its nice to know I am not alone! I want to wait till after my first appointment, but I am not sure if I will be able to keep it in once I see my family in two weeks! My good friends that I see everyday I told because in person is how I want to do it, and its really nice to have their support! Wishing everyone else healthy/happy pregnancies!

    The first trimester is really the worst IMO. As you see ultrasounds and feel baby moving or kicking you feel assured. I'm not as worried this time like I was the first go round. ; hang in there!

    Congrats and welcome! What you are feeling is totally normally and I can relate. I've been worrying since I found out 3 weeks ago, but I had my first OB appt on Friday and everything is looking good so far. I won't have my first u/s until around 11-12 which seems so far away. I'm trying to keep myself busy at work and stay active as much as I can. As far as telling family, I think everyone will have a different opinion on this. Personally, we told both sets of parents immediately as we would want their support if anything happened. We are planning on telling everyone else after the u/s. GL and wishing you a H&H 9 months!

    First of all congratulations! I totally know where you're coming from on the paranoia front. I'm 8 wks 2 days and can remember googling every statistic since I found out at 4 wks. It gets easier as you progress though. The longer you go, the less likely it is that something will go wrong. I used to worry about every twinge but now I know that it's just my little bub making room. I haven't had an appointment with a midwife yet though and won't have a scan for another 4 wks. I feel like I will be validated then. Sounds crazy but I'm convinced there's nothing in there.

    I feel the same way, its hard to believe that something is there when you cant see it!
