  Hi there, welcome! You're not alone. The way I think about it is, why should I stress about something I can't control? Obviously anxiety creeps in regardless, but I bring myself back to that place of resolve and remind myself that I'm doing my best, so I'll forget the rest.

  I struggle with this. I have two girls and this is my 6th pregnancy. It’s hard not to get inside my head. A friend of mine had a mantra that I’ve adopted and it’s, “today, I am pregnant.” It’s all I can do

  Some words that help me (found online)
  

  1. Today I am pregnant and I love my baby.
  2. I am pregnant with a healthy growing baby until I am told otherwise.
  3. Just because someone else is having a loss doesn't mean I will. Miscarriage and loss are not contagious, but fear can be.
  4. Miscarriage is the exception, not the rule.
  5. Hope does not make bad things happen. I cannot jinx my pregnancy by getting my hopes up or telling someone about it.
  6. There is nothing I can change with worry. Worrying about something out of my control does not prevent it from happening.

  I can completely relate to the anxiety! Being so early in the pregnancy, I accidentally ate a couple things on the “don’t eat list” without thinking and now I’m filled with anxiety that something horrible is going to happen to my baby. I feel like I’ve been Googling things non-stop.

  I am still googling and can’t stop. I hate it!
