14 weeks pregnant - paranoid!

[EmilyWilkos]

Hey everyone,

I’m going to apologise in advance as I’m just a worrier haha! I’m 14 weeks pregnant with baby number three and going through that is my baby ok phase, it’s a tough stage as I haven’t felt anything as of yet and I can’t help but worry! What did everyone do to get rid of this worry or to make themselves feel better?
Again I apologise just a worried mum here!

Thanks!

I couldn’t read and run. It’s so hard I remember feeling the same at around 16 weeks. Have you had your 12 week scan? Also keep reminding yourself you are officially out of the first trimester. Try relax, have a relaxing bath and get some rest. Just listen to your body and if you think these is a problem, talk to your midwife. They will never think you are wasting there time. Hope your okay OP X

Thank you so much for replying, I’ve never posted on here before! Yeah had my scan at 13 weeks and everything was absolutely as it should be and I’ve had two perfectly healthy pregnancies prior I think I’m just overthinking and being a bit of a spanner tbh, I’m such a worrier at the best of times i think I just hate being out of control haha :) xx

No problem, I completely get it, especially in the times are are in with covid. I had my DS 2 days into lockdown and I spent the last couple weeks of pregnancy panicking about a pending pandemic. I’m a worrier too abs it’s so easy for someone to say try not to worry as I find I worry more lol. It’s scary being pregnancy and I feel so much for you in the middle of all of this. Honestly though if your scan was okay, I’m sure everything is fine. Speak to your midwife about how you feel when you next see her/hear from her and don’t be scared to ask/call for help if you need it. The best piece of advice I was given by a midwife was ‘call if you think something is wrong, we can’t see through your belly and your instincts play a massive part in pregnancy. You will never be wasting our time.’ Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. My fingers are crossed for a smooth one for you xx

Thank you :) I’m sure everything is fine and it’s just my stupid head playing games! Xx
