How do you cope with the worrying?

Hi ladies, I'm new to the community and I was wondering how you are all coping, or have coped with the worrying? I am 6 weeks and 4 days and I worry ALL the time. My 8 week scan is on 2nd Jan and the wait to know if things are ok is just agonising!

Re: How do you cope with the worrying?
You're not alone. All I can say is try not to let your mind be consumed with negative thoughts, but its normal; welcome to motherhood....I worried all the way up until the day DD was born and then some!
I hope you find someway to help yourself relax.
Thank you for your response. You're right I need to find a way of relaxing. Maybe I need to take up yoga! It's just the unknown that is so scary, and I'm a first time mum and I had no idea if this was normal. It's reassuring in a way to know it's not just me.
It will get easier not to worry as much once you get through the first trimester, see an ultrasound, and start growing and feeling the baby move. In the meantime, try to relax and not consume yourself with things you can't control. Good luck!
A little off topic, but this inspired me to look up local yoga classes. The one closest to home is on Fridays from 6-7:15, AKA dinner time. Do not get in between my dinner plate and me. Worst timing EVER.
I like the yoga idea too. I've found somewhere that specifically does pregnancy yoga but only from 13 weeks onwards.
This time around I'm not letting myself get too excited (3 mc last year). I'm looking at each step (ie, week, dr apt, good test results, etc... ) as one step closer. Or goal is to make it to mid-second trimester then we can breathe easier.
We aren't saying we are pregnant till the 2 trimester only that we have positive tests.
It may sound weird to be that disconnected during the first trimester but the first three times i was totally crushed. We were buying cloths, picking names and all the fun planning stuff. We told everyone by 8 weeks when we got a good heartbeat so it was so painful to have to "take it back".
PCOS, EDS III, low progesterone. Six early losses (5-8 weeks,) 1 twin loss. Surprise natural BFP 2014-12-17 Ectopic dx and MTX 2015-01-02.
Also, I find it illogical to worry about things I cannot change. So I just don't dwell upon it. If bad stuff happens, I will deal with it then.
it's iffy. My hCG is pretty much at the bottoms of the range, but it did double appropriately. I'm having another draw on Monday. Because of the low numbers and bleeding, an ectopic is a concern so I'm supposed to go to emerg if it starts again. But things could just be earlier than we thought and I may have just bled due to the low hCG (decidual bleeding.) Only time will tell, so I'm just taking my progesterone and hoping. Whatever will happen, there's nothing I can do to change it.

It's full of worry and doubt! But yes, I'm terrified of a miscarriage! Just leaving it up to the Lord!
