Pregnant and very stressed

[2251x]

I found out I'm pregnant not long ago me and my husband had been ttc coming up 3 years! We already have 1 together didn't think another pregnancy was going to happen for us, we kinda gave up trying and got pregnant we are very happy and feel very blessed 😇
I'm an soo worried that something bad is going to happen, I'm so scared to even get a bit excited not sure if this is normal? It's feels like a dream and going to wake at any moment, can anyone recommend anything to relax me and try and not think of all the band things, sorry this is such a long post hope someone can help 😊

I felt like this. The one thing that my husband said that clicked with me was that no matter the amount if worrying/overthinking it won't change things. It really is out of our hands, what will be will be. Trust your body. Not sure if that is helpful to you or not but it worked with me to some extent.

As time goes on it'll get better. I got better as soon as I felt movements. Some people don't recommend them, but I got a home doppler and only used it a couple of times in the early days before movements to reassure myself. I also had an early scan at 8 weeks.

Best wishes to you

Thank you so much I didn't think of it like that😊 I'm only 5 weeks I'm going to book a scan in for 8 weeks just another 3 weeks to go lol

I too just found I am pregnant, and I have the same fears. What has helped so far is seeing posts on Mumsnet of women who feel the same way. The early stages of pregnancy are hard because there are so many unknowns. My number one rule is to not Google anything. My doctor has reminded me that each pregnancy is different and women and babies can progress at different stages and looking things up online can be unhelpful. The other day I was expressing concern to my doctor, and he reminded me that so far all is well but that there isn't much we can because nature will take its course. He told me to focus on the things I can control like eating well, working out, taking my vitamins and getting enough sleep. So I have thrown myself into focusing on my health so that I know I am creating a good environment for the baby.

I know it is scary. But OP you are not alone.

I feel so relieved that it's not just me, me and google are terrible majority of the time I'm
On google, googling almost everything and anything I know it's not good but just can't seem to help my self 😩 thank you so much for the advice that's what I'm going to do try and focus on something else x

Firstly congratulations and secondly you are totally normal I’m feeling the exact same way! We have had a bit of a rough start which didn’t help but I also worry about will things be ok! I agree with the other poster that said about what will be will be, I often find that mantra helps me a lot too when so much is out of our hands! Wishing you a lovely pregnancy❤️
