Pregnancy Brain=Crazy Worries

I am normally a pretty level-headed person but all that has gone out the window once these pregnancy hormones kicked in.  Reading posts on here about pregnancy issues/MC/etc plus reading on FBook about friends who have MC lately (3 in the in the past month) has got me worried sick.  I was a little worried before we even got pregnant due to my age (36) and risk factors associated with that. So add all those factors together and I am a worried mess.  I go for first US on Monday so maybe that will make me feel better.  

Then I worry about being able to handle a FT job, a toddler, and a newborn.  Good grief!  These worries are ridiculous!  Anyone else have these overwhelming worries?

    Yup!  My mom had 4 miscarriages over 5 years (with a full pregnancy in between) due to a congenital uterine anomaly and I am paranoid that, despite my doctor telling me it isn't hereditary, that somehow I'll have it too.  Took a hot shower this morning and started cramping a little a few hours ago and wondered "what if it was TOO hot, what if I caused a miscarriage?"  I have always been a worry wart so it's not surprising that it's gone into overdrive now that I've got crazy hormones.  I've stopped clicking on the posts that could be about miscarriage on here because I know they only exacerbate my fears.  I keep telling myself there's a 95% chance that I won't miscarry at this point but there's only so much that I can quell the fears. First u/s is on tuesday morning (7w4d) so hopefully we'll see a heartbeat and a healthy little bean in there!

    Yes!!  Everyday is a different worry!  And now that I know I'm having multiples, it's even worse! Right now it's everyone's health - mine, the babies, my toddler, my DH.  The racing thougths never stop.  I'm sure the hormones are what make it so bad!

    It happens. The worries never fully go away, but the awesome thing is that you figure it all out eventually...meaning the juggling of kids and work and all that.
