How to not go crazy

[Emmajayne1991]

I'm 13+4 with a previous miscarriage everything's been going fine had the 12 week scan and then I've had severe thrush which I know is common in pregnancy I've been in agony and it's affected my stomach so much with the pain and even my back.

I'm now just so paranoid that I keep thinking how do I know my baby is still okay? My boobs have stopped hurting and feel smaller again I know it's probably just me thinking this. I know I'm probably over thinking but I have no clue how to switch my brain off and it's another 2.5 weeks until I have my 16 weeks.

Any advice if anyone's had it in pregnancy and how to stop being an over thinker would help
Thankyou

Hey OP!

I know how you feel, I am 10 weeks pregnant and I constantly worry, I've always been a super worried person so every little niggle and pain I question if something is wrong! I payed for a private early scan as I had some bleeding and couldn't wait till my 12 week scan, I was to relieved to see the baby. Now that I am 9 days away from my next scan I am starting to worry again, I guess this is normal! I read this a lot that pregnancy for most woman is a scary rollercoaster ride, just try and keep yourself as calm as you can honey. Have you thought about getting a private scan done? I know this isn't always an option for some people as they can be quite pricey! x

@littlemac2 I had bleeding two I've had 3 in this pregnancy and I don't think that's helped me stay any calmer, I might do a private scan actually Thankyou I'd completely forgotten even about it I could probably afford the one which would keep me calmer for now. So sorry you've had bleeding too almost time for the 12 week scan and your be feeling calmer again ☺️
