Pregnancy Anxiety

hey mamas - FTM waiting for my first scan on Friday this week, feeling very nervous our little bean is okay - don’t really have a reason too other than I really have had like zero consistent symptoms other than just being tired/exhausted & not sleeping well! Had tender tender boobs at first but that’s seeming to be better! Had one fit of really bad nausea but haven’t had it again, hubs & I think it may have been what we ate because he also said he didn’t feel good either! I read something yesterday that it’s totally normal to have no symptoms at all but honestly it’s messing with me & my mind! Have you guys found any help/tips to deal with anxiety? I was diagnosed with it & on medicine for it in middle school as a kid but have had it under for several years & it’s been debilitating the last few weeks. Not necessarily worried about MC because I haven’t had any reason to think that but just worried bean is okay overall. I used to see a therapist regularly a few years ago but thought about maybe going back again. I just hate feeling this nervous because I know little bean feels that too & I just am beside myself I’m making them feel this way. Any tips, even if you think they are silly that helped you, please send them my way.

    Anxiety is my unwanted best friend. I have agoraphobia, I have issues leaving my house, groups, etc. 
    Have you had any bleeding? If not, try not to stress too much. 

    I just got a paper from midwife with different stuff to do/ take. I left it in the car. 😂 But when I get it, I'll let you know, what it says. 😂💜 I know I'm not much help right now.  But I'm sending you positive vibes. 💙💕

    I had anxiety for the first time when I was pregnant the first time, and now that I'm pregnant again I've noticed it kicking up again. FWIW my symptoms sound identical to yours! I also had breakthrough bleeding/spotting, which really scares me because I didn't have that the first time. It turned out to be nothing. To be honest, I think a lot of us get anxious between scans in the early weeks of pregnancy. 

    The main things that have helped me are eating (because it keeps nausea at bay, and nausea is tiring and wears down my mental resilience), and using the Calm meditation app. There are others - headspace, waking up. There are free meditations on YouTube, too. I wasn't into meditation at all before but it has helped loads. 

    Finally, remind yourself that your increased heart rate is also because your blood volume has doubled!! That may seem random but I find it helpful to remember my heart is working harder and it's not necessarily my body telling me something is wrong.
