Could you please tell me I'm normal on this really unimportant-in-the-scheme-of-things matter? Thanks

I am 14+5. I worry too much. Despite having a scan two weeks ago and seeing a (literally) bouncing baby, I seem to be constantly worried that something is wrong, and every time someone congratulates me (we told people after the scan) I want to touch wood. I also seem to be making 'if' statements rather than 'when' statements. I had a mc at six weeks in February but I don't think that is the cause of the worry. I wish there was some easy way of checking that everything is okay so I could relax. I think it is probably my fault for reading so much on the internet! Anyway, a few statements of 'yes, I felt that way too' would be really nice. Actually, just writing this down has helped, because it is quite difficult to say to people when they are so happy for you.

thanks thanks thanks all

neuroticlady - my EDD has been changed on records to 5th Feb so we are the same - keep in touch - maybe we will be brave enough to join Feb 08, or have you done so already?

Hooray, same EDD! No I haven't been brave enough to join up with the Feb gang; it just feels like I'm tempting fate. So I'll continue to hover on the sidelines for now, I think.

Helgicita, it was nice to hear your lovely positive story and understanding words - and congrats in this pregnancy. Another early Febber!

Hi there, I feel that way too...I had a mc after a fall 3 years ago but I don' think that can be it. I find myself stopping and checking my body to see if I still "feel" pregnant. I wish I could have a stethescope so I could check on its heartbeat or something... where to get one? I told my mum yesterday (she's in Canada) and immediately after putting down the phone entered panic zone that I should have waited!
Hope you're feeling better
