Managing stress in first trimester

Just got my first positive pregnancy test! Excited but also nervous about something going wrong before I get to the first prental appointment (in 4 weeks..) Does anyone have advice on how to calm nerves in the first few weeks after a positive test?

    Just catching this now. Hope your appointment went well! That early anxiety is so real, but you’re definitely not alone in feeling that way.

    It’s completely normal to feel excited and nervous at the same time. What helps is shrinking your focus: instead of worrying about the whole pregnancy, remind yourself, “Right now, everything is okay.” Try limiting symptom-checking and Google spirals, and give your nervous system something calming each day. slow breathing, short walks, or a quiet wind-down routine at night.
    I like having a cup of Relax Calm Tea in the evening as a gentle way to unwind. Small daily rituals can make the waiting feel more manageable.
