I got my first ever BFP this week and even though I'm excited, I'm completely overwhelmed with anxiety and worry about what could go wrong. I'm only 4-5 weeks at the moment.
I have anxiety and tend to catastrophise but if this is what I'm like a few days in, I'm not sure I can cope with another 8 months of it! It's putting a downer on what should be a happy time. I'm 28 and logically I know my chances of MC are low and there's nothing I can do to stop it from happening anyway but I can't seem to get my brain to switch off and stop overanalysing every symptom.
How do/did you keep yourself calm and minimise pregnancy worries? DP and I are also in the process of buying a house so I'm desperate to reduce the stress!
