Keeping Calm 1st Pregnancy 1st Trimester Nerves

elliecele17 · June 2018

Hi everyone, I am 6 weeks with my 1st pregnancy and have a million and one questions. I am soo happy and I oddly like my symptoms (sore boobs, smells that make my stomach turn ect) b/c they're a reminder that I'm growing a baby. However, at times I find myself worried.

I am a strong believer that positive thoughts bring about positive things, so I googled "pregnancy affirmations/ meditation".

I thought I would share a video I found. It's a 9 min long and it's perfect for when you feel like you need to calm your nerves. I am at work and listened to it in my cubical and feel today re-charged. I image I'll go back to it a few times. Maybe before bed or 1st thing in the AM.

I hope you like it

What sorts of things do you do to stay calm, present and confident during these initial weeks (which are mostly lived in secret - which is another stressor in my experience).

I’m going to stick with my Prozac.

I’m a data girl! So I love the miscarriage reassurer https://datayze.com/miscarriage-reassurer.php. I also do like some good mantras or meditations

Please label posts like this with a trigger warning (TW) in the title. Some ladies here have gone through losses and it’s a kind gesture to show respect to their experience, and to let them make a choice whether or not to read a post regarding miscarriage. I know you meant well, truly. And so do I ❤️

I vent to my husband.
Poas.
hope and pray my baby will be okay.
Use a Doppler when I can.

kayjay44 · June 2018

I can’t wait until I can use my Doppler.

elliecele17 · June 2018

@ThePax89 when did you start using the doppler? I was thinking of buying one but worried about it not working for a few weeks and adding to my stress

elliecele17 · June 2018

@Ktrue85 I am deeply sorry. I edited the post to remove the word & changed the title to include “1st pregnancy”.

kayjay44 · June 2018

@elliecele17 I can usually get a HB around 9 weeks since I have lots of practice from two pregnancies. The first time I think I was 10 or 12 weeks. If it’s your first I would wait until 12 weeks before trying. Watch lots of YouTube videos beforehand and you have to be really patient.

Exactly what @kayjay44 said about the YouTube videos. I found the HB at 9 weeks. I set a timer though and if I didn’t find it I would stop looking.

ThePax89 · June 2018

@elliecele17 I ordered it at 10.5 weeks last time and used it immediately. I *might* try at 9 weeks this time. I LOVED it.
