Being so stupid..

So I'm a FTM and I'm just being ridiculous. I have no reason to think I am or will miscarry, but I am still freaking out. I had my first US last Friday and saw my baby and the heartbeat was a strong 129bpm. Doctor said everything looked great. I've been having bad ms and regular pregnancy symptoms, but still stressing. I know it's stupid, I just am so worried and don't know how to overcome it

  • Take deep breaths and find something to distract you. Go for a walk. Pick up a new hobby.

  • It is completely normal to worry because, sadly, there is no true safe point in any pregnancy. There are plenty of women here who have miscarried, had stillborn children or lost their babies after birth.

    Things happen, but the odds are in your favor that you will have a healthy baby. Just try and relax and distract yourself as much as you can. You have zero control over this entire process so you might as well and enjoy it as much as you can without worrying about the what ifs.

  • It's understandable to worry. I have been a reader for a good 6 years or so, but wasn't reading as much for the last year or so, a couple books maybe, one was very long, and my kids just started school so I have just been letting myself "waste" a lot of time reading. it gets my mind into someone elses world for awhile!

  • Unfortunately, miscarriage is a very real threat, and it's something that I think most of us fear.   However, the VAST MAJORITY of pregnancies result in healthy babies:-)  The best you can do is be thankful for every day that you are pregnant, and focus on how much you love your baby.

  • Ambarnett1   I went to the Dr weeks ago and everything was great on the ultrasound.

    I guess I read the posts of the ladies in here that are PGaL and my heart breaks for them to have gone thru that but are so happy for them now.  Then I start wondering what if I go to the dr and the baby stopped growing?

    I can't wait to go to the Dr in 10 days to see Baby Nugget on the screen!  I will be 10 weeks 4 days then.  Will the baby still look like an alien or will it resemble the looks of a baby then?


  • You'll see little nubs and the head and it may be wiggling a bit!
