Anxiety with pregnancy

[girlmummy24]

Hey, I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby 🥹😁
ever since finding out I’ve been so anxious that I am going to miscarry this baby😣 I wasn’t like this with my first and I can’t help but shift the feeling did anyone else have this happen to them? If so how did you shift the feeling away. I just want to enjoy my pregnancy but it’s always in the back of my mind. It doesn’t help that I’ve not got any symptoms either apart from feeing tired all the time!! I’ve done about 10 pregnancy tests 🙈

I am also 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I am feeling exactly the same. I did however feel anxious with my first pregnancy too. I’ve not had many symptoms yet but I think it’s important to remember it’s still early so there’s time for all that :) I try to focus on getting to the 12 weeks scan. Apparently 2nd pregnancies go fast so try to rest and enjoy it as much as you can. Easier said than done of course!

Hi OP! I felt exactly the same with my second - I also peed on so many sticks (whereas with the first, I just used 2 or 3 to confirm pregnancy and that was it), but with this one, I must have spent a small fortune on tests and testing over the course of two weeks!

But I'm almost 30 weeks now - all is well (well, as well as it can be being 30 weeks pregnant with a 16 month old 🤣) but it's true what another poster said - it FLIES by!! Feels like I blinked and now I'm the size of a whale - I know it's an anxious time but try to enjoy it whilst you can as it really does fly by! Best of luck and congratulations ❤️

hey,
its such an anxious time isn’t it when you find out so early as well😣 I think I was 8 weeks last time so it all happened fast so didn’t have time to be anxious 🙈😅

you are right tho need to force on the 12 weeks scan it will fly by won’t it. Just hope everything is okay! Congratulations tho on your second baby and wish you all the best. 🙈❤️

I am glad I am not the only person who is constantly testing gives me a bit of peace of mind seeing the line go darker!!! Congratulations you’ve not got long left 😁 wish you all the best xxx

ps I’ve heard second pregnancy goes fast I’ve got an almost 2 year old and you can’t just sit dow and relax like your first pregnancy 😅

I was trying to conceive for c.6 years for my first, went through ivf and miscarried at 6 weeks. I’m now pregnant with my second (and last) embryo, hoping we’ll finally be able to start a family this time. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and 3 days (with it being ivf) and have had the worsttttt anxiety everrrr so you’re not alone. I had my first scan at 6+1 and will be going for my 7th scan on Sunday when I’ll be 15 weeks ♥️ Even in my situation - ivf, previous loss, not having a living child - the anxiety HAS gotten better. I feel a bit better after every scan and every week that goes by ♥️

The best advice I can give you is taking it day by day and hurdle by hurdle, and to make sure you’re talking talking talking with someone about your feelings - for me that was my husband and we’re now closer than we’ve ever been through everything we’ve gone through to get here and communicating well with each other.

Good luck and wishing you a healthy and uneventful pregnancy ♥️

Oh wow I am so sorry you’ve been through such a hard time TTC I can’t imagine how you must be feeling the anxiety must be so hard for you😣 15 weeks that’s so promising for you guys. I am wishing you nothing but the absolute best for you, youll be holding your baby soon❤️ what a little miracle I’ve got everything crossed for you! Congratulations xxx
