Anxious first pregnancy 16 weeks

[Benm2210]

Soo just curious if anyone else is having anxiety during pregnancy? I don’t know what to expect as it’s my first pregnancy and I am overthinking everything making myself paranoid and googling doesn’t help either :( I have had al my scans and all is well with Bub but still find myself worried and it’s such a long wait in between scans!! How do I know Bub is okay in between scans??

@Benm2210- Hey, I have set up a pregnancy anxiety thread if you want to join!? Others on there who are also experiencing anxiety during pregnancy at different stages.
You’re not alone and we’ve all had the same fears and worries. I’m also first time Mum which I think makes it extra daunting anyway.
One thing I’ve done is try to look after myself as best I can as I feel as though I’m doing something positive for baby. So... eating well, taking my vitamins, drink plenty of fluids and keep as active as I can. Doesn’t work for everyone but has muddled me through 💜
