Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

I'm 8 1/2 weeks and i know i'm fortunate that i haven't had m/s but i'm so worried that something is wrong because i feel like i should be feeling more? How do I last until 11 weeks w/o another sono or doc appt so i know all is ok. The worry is draining me .

if something (God forbid were wrong - how would i know?). Thanks

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

It's perfectly normal to worry, if you put up a poll, I bet it'd say we ALL stressed and were soooo nevous in those beginning weeks! I didn't have many symptoms at all, just really tired & a little nauseous here and there, and I felt the same way as you, worrying that I wasn't having other symptoms. But thankfully, all was fine and still is.

I know it stinks to hear, but try to relax. Stressing won't help you or the baby!

You're going to worry yourself sick! Try and relax, take up a prenatal yoga class maybe? Don't worry, it's going to be fine.

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

thank you!!! yep, that's when it happens - usually on my subway ride home which is 4 hours after lunch, i'll need a mint on the train or something...
exhausted - yes, i wake up tired, look tired etc. I will try to relax about it. Positive, hmm, maybe i'm having a girl too???

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

As someone with severe M/S trust me-you are lucky.
Some of us are more sensitive to the babies hormones-in my case the hormones are really high and my body is not coping well at.
Each pregnancy is different so please dont drive yourself crazy-easier said than done I know. But in a few months you'll have a healthy baby!

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

YEP!!! I'm a worry wart!!!!!! There's nothing I can do between doctors appts, so I just try to enjoy life (and some carrots, mmmm).

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

I know it's hard, that 1st trimester for everyone is nerve wracking

I rented a doppler from storkradio.com and every time i freaked i could listen to the heartbeat in between dr's visits. With DD it was my sanity savior since i had a loss right before her.

I heard it at 9 weeks, it took about 15-20 minutes to find.

Hang in there

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

There have been a lot of threads about lack of symptoms. It's not uncommon.

Your body has a way of letting you know when things are not okay. Generally, if you have no pain or bad cramping & no heavy bleeding, you are good.

I never had any morning sickness & I don't have any symptoms other than my belly getting fuller. Try not to worry & just enjoy it. Who know what the 2nd trimester will be like for you.

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

I'm in the same boat - aside from feeling real tired and having sore boobs, I feel fine - no nausea at all. Tomorrow is my first u/s - I know seeing the baby's heartbeat will be the piece of mind I need

Re: Feel SOO anxious/worried today??

Other than a bulging waist line and exhaustion, I had NO symptoms with this pregnancy after 7 weeks. Meanwhile with my first I was just shy of taking Zofran for vomiting like many women on here do and had every other classic symptom. It made me worry...only because I can't look in there and see that it's fine. I decided to NOT read or research ANYTHING during that time. It helped a lot. I decided that since there was no bleeding/spotting, I had no real reason to truly worry...and I saved myself from going insane.
