How did you all get through the worrying of 1st trimester?

I am trying my hardest to relax and not to worry and I think I am def doing better than last pg. But I still can't get it out of my head that this one may not stick either.

How did you ladies get through the worrying of the 1st trimester to make the time go by soo much faster? I wish it was Nov already!!

It was hard. I actually did hypnotherapy with my therapist for relaxation because I really couldn't let things go. I had a very hard time with worry for almost my entire pregnancy. She tried to give me tools so that when I was focusing on worry I could bring myself into a place of being relaxed. It helped some I guess.
It does get easier. Your doctor's visits help also getting to hear the heartbeat or see the baby.
I will say once you start feeling the baby move it's great because you have a daily assurance that things are OK in there.

I know some people rent doppler's during the 1st trimester to hear the baby's heartbeat at home. it gives them peace of mind sicne the dr's appts are 4 weeks apart and it's definately a time when a lot of people worry.

for me it just went very quickly. we found out at 5 weeks and i work full time as a special ed teacher in the city, so it just went very fast. i was in my 2nd trimester before i knew it!

it all does pass quickly so try to relax and enjoy it! maybe even writing "notes" to your baby in a journal might help? might give you that connection since you're not getting movement feelings yet.

good luck!

I was the same way as you! First off, we only told immediate family till about 10-12 weeks. I literally did not lift anything ,do anything I did not have the energy to do, and napped every single day! I took my vitamins, ate well, drank alot of fluids. Reading Your PG week by Week also helped the time pass.

You will get through it....your body knows what to do now and this one will stick!

No cleaning...stay away from anything that has chemical fumes....I heard that is bad too.

Thank you for the advice ladies. I have a feeling this time around it's gonna be different. I do have things to look forward to, and then the next thing I know it'll be 9/16, my 1st appt. I changed it from 9/7 to 9/16 so at least i will be almost 7 weeks and able to possibly see a heartbeat. Just want the time to fly!
