5 weeks pregnant - constantly worried?

[Rdic92]

Hi
I’ve just found out I’m pregnant (around 5 weeks) after trying for around 2 years.
I can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. I’ve spent hours googling all sorts of ridiculous things. I’m absolutely exhausted and then I wake up in the night and google any tiny niggle.
The doctor has told me my blood pressure is low, which after some googling has led me down the path of obsessing about ectopic pregnancy.
I already have a daughter and just can’t remember really worrying at all during my first pregnancy.
I don’t really know what to do but I can’t cope with this for another 2 months whilst I wait for a scan!
Surely this isn’t normal?

Pregnancy can make emotion and anxiety go mad. If you're finding things a little overwhelming then I'd suggest seeing the doctor and they can refer you for some support.
I've been there. In fact, I am again because I'm 5 weeks pregnant too.

Welcome to my club!!! I am 5 weeks pregnant, paranoid and googling every 5 minuets.. If anyone saw my search history I'd be sectioned haha

I'm 15 weeks and always worried, more so now than in the earlier stages. I had my first child 20 years ago and never worried once, just assumed I would have a healthy baby/pregnancy.

I think Google is a blessing and a curse, it exasperates the anxiety if not causes it.

All you can do is try to relax and take each day at a time. I kept telling myslef what will be will be.

I'm 12 weeks with my first and I've been a nervous wreck since the minute I got the BFP.
I had early scans at 6 and 8 weeks which temporarily placated me but then the anxiety came back with a vengeance days later!
I overanalyse every symptom and spend hours on Google convincing myself something's wrong.....I'm terrified I'll find out I've had a MMC at my dating scan then I'm stressing at my dating scan not being for another 12 days or so as I'm worried it'll be too late for the screening tests.
Honestly, I'm a mess.
You're not alone OP

@Rdic92 I'm in the same boat as you. 5 weeks pregnant. We've been trying for our first baby for what seems like ages. Past year we've had 3 MC's. Which explains why I'm terrified right now, but I keep googling everything and jumping at every twinge. Just can't shake the feeling that this pregnancy will end the same way the previous 3 did.

Tell your midwife and get mental heath support for anxiety ASAP so you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

Worrying is like praying for something you don’t want to happen. You don’t need the extra stress. Talk to someone and get support x
