Is anyone else a stress head for the first 12 weeks?

[mrsflux]

I'm pg with dc2 so I've done all this before but I am still really stressy about everything being ok!
I'm only about 5 weeks gone. Not had mw appointment yet. No chance of scan for a while yet obviously.

Is it just me or is everyone else a bit stressy at this point?

Ps I am feeling nauseous at tomes which I find a bit annoying and reassuring in equal measures!

hi mate, i was a stress head, i moved area so no one knew my history, i had 5 miscarriages in the last 10 yrs, and got pregnant, only see the mw at 12wks for booking, i went to the doctors and explained at 10wks, she sent me to the epu for reassurance xx

I found I was loads worse this time, I guess you are better informed and more aware of potential problems etc. Def not just you!

Oh, I am so much worse this time than last - I'm 6 weeks pg and keep stressing because I don't feel sick! In a strange way I just want to feel awful to reassure myself.

I'm 8w by my dates - but only 6w by last weeks (private) scan date. Got re-scanned at NHS today - picture very poor - sac looks a little bigger - not sure if they saw fetal pole or not - and no hearbeat this time (there was heartbeat seen - with clearer pic last week at private scan)...so todays scan very inconclusive. I'll have another scan in 10 days. I had the private scan because I felt something was wrong - I just didn't feel pregnant - and I was shocked they put my dates 2 week earlier than I had thought).
Yes I'd say I'm going to be a complete stress-head! I too don't feel sick....I wish I did!!!

I'm also stressing out - it's early days for and my first pg, and I just wish I hadn't found out I was pregnant for another 8 weeks or so!

i concur. 5 weeks and 4 days and worry from the moment i wake up. I dont think we will stop worrying til it pops out!

Oh I completely sympathise! I HATE the first twelve weeks of pregnancy!

My pregnancy with DD was worse than this time due to having a mc with my first pregnancy. This pregnancy has been a lot less stressful but it's going to be my last one so I'm determined to enjoy it.

I'm 13+5 now (woohoo!) but the first 12 weeks just feel like a waiting game!

I wish I could be put into a coma and only woken up the day the baby is due to be delivered!!!

i am 9 weeks and had a miscarriage at begin of year and so rushed of my feet plus partner not working so trying to keep money coming in i have a mw visit on tuesday but what happens when she comes round to your house .?

totally get it, have a private scan this avo at 10 weeks as to impatient to wait for nhs... bloody nervous, however have to have all my bloods done first so thats giving me something to think about... please fingers crossed!!

You sound exactly like me!

I am about 5 weeks to, feel quesy alot but like it oddly as I feel reassured by it, and feel worried when I'm not feeling queasy!

This is my 4th so I should know to relax by now!

Im 9+3 and being a complete bitch to everyone!! Ooopsie!
