Can someone please tell me to calm down?

[Besom]

I've recently found out I'm pregnant with no 2, which I'm extremely happy about as we have been ttc for a while.

Every morning this week I've woken up at the crack of dawn with my mind racing, fretting about all the potential problems/finances/practical considerations.

I have about a million questions that I keep thinking of to ask mumsnet.

It's still very early days though so I really am getting completely ahead of myself. I'm not doing myself any good by it either and I'm losing sleep. I don't remember this happening last time.

Can someone take me by the shoulders and give me a bit of a gentle shake please?

and reassures you that it is entirely normal!
I think insomnia is really common in early pregnancy as you are adjusting to the news, hormones rushing through your body. Then (allegedely) you get a break and then insomnia hits again in 3rd trimester.
Congratulations BTW

thanks Smac - I feel better for that!

I was like this for the first few weeks,could get to sleep fine then would wake up and it would just hit me that i was pregnant,
I'm pregnant with no.3 so i'd start worrying about,coping,labour,money etc
I'm now 15wks and am more settled and have got used to the idea,it just takes a while to get your head around it
Congratulations too

I've been the same. I'm 12 week pregnant with number 2 with a 2.3 dd who has just hit the terrible twos. The nausea has been awful and I'm wondering what the hell I've let myself in for! Wondering about bedroom arrangements, how dd will cope, paying for 2 lots of childcare etc.

Just had my dating scan and now feel calmer and happier about the whole thing.

Oh thanks everyone - and congratulations to tobago and Allegrogirl

I love Mumsnet - I really did get up in a state of high anxiety and now I feel a lot better.

hiya..
i'm preg with DC 3 and am 16wks. i have been having alot of sleepless nights tossing n turning (the best i can lol) thinking omg.. i have had 1 prob after another up to now and i am still being sick. hyperemesis/low iron/low bp/ stomach infection/ n now bad digesting probs.
And not just that i know we'll have to move asap because this house isnt suitable for a baby, long story. so we have 1001 stresses to get over as well b4 baby is here but i keep dreaming somethings going to go wrong. we all have these feelings and as much as i try to relax i just cant. not till things get sorted.
but breathe i will get thru all thats to come as i know seeing my DC happy is all that matters.
we can only do the best we can and i'm sure you will be fine
