Anyone Else Stressed About Getting Through the First Trimester??

Excited4baby2

I am about 6 weeks - just found out a week ago... I have a 21 month old so I kinda of know what to expect. But I can't help worrying about making it through the first few months. Any suggestions?

yes!! i worry about it all the time cause i hardly have any symptoms. i went to the dr at 8 weeks and everything looked great! It had a strong heartbeat and was moving around. Im almost 11 weeks now and don't go back to the dr till the end of the month. In a way I kind of wish I had symptoms, but I havent had any the entire pregnancy.

I'm 9 weeks today and worry all the time. Every time I pee I hope there is no blood. The bad part about this site is I think it can make you paranoid. Reading stories about there being a heartbeat at 6 weeks then no baby at 10 weeks. I also don't have many symptoms so that makes me worry some as well. Luckily I only have one more week until my next u/s! Can't wait to see my little blob looking more like a baby.

I worry all day long...I just entered week six, but I've had two miscarriages. I think that makes it even harder. The first time I was preggers, I didn't worry at all...just ecstatic. I have hardly any symptoms so far, and I worry if that means something is wrong. Just praying this time, I make it all the way and finally get to meet my monkey.

I work.. so my days go by fast but I am still constantly thinking and hoping things are going well. I still have 2 weeks until my first US and OB appt.. I think after that I will have some peace of mind.. but until then I need to fond ways to stay stress free!!

I'm just trying to get to 8 weeks haha. I wanna see and hear the heartbeat. I'm 5 weeks and 4 days! Yay! Sometimes its slow movin and sometimes it flys by. I also can't wait to find out the sex.....I'm so eager to do the nursery!

I guess we all just worry until we can see that everything is ok... gosh... thank you all for your thoughts!!

Cantwait2bamommy-- we have the same due date I think!!

Also, the only symptoms I have are sore breasts, only at night though, a little more frequent peeing, and every once in a while slight cramping, which I believe is just my uterus stretching. Ladies, I don't believe that having mild symptoms is a bad sign. Everyones bodies are different. I also don't let myself get stressed about a miscarriage, even though the risk is high in everyone. Keep your heads up and feed positive energy to your baby!!! Even if you've had a miscarriage before, this one may very well not be, so you want to be a less stressed as possible!

That is so neat! >:D< im glad there are people here that are going through the same thing!

@abcarroll and @praying4our3rd.....Nov. 12 right? When are your first appointmets?

Excited4baby2

I don't really have any symptoms either. Just hungry alot more and peeing all of the time. I have a little cramping also... I am trying not to worry too much now.

My first appt is on 3/31 for my ultrasound and then I have my OB appt on 4/1.

Cantwait2BAMommy

They gave me the option for 3/31 but my hubby is out of town!

Excited4baby2

Oh bummer!! I can't wait!! Last pregnancy we didnt have to worrry about getting a babysitter to go to appts.. so some of this is new to us. I am really glad my husband is so supportive and wants to go to the appts with me!! He was like that with our first child too.

@cantwait2bamommy I'm almost 8 weeks now and saw my baby's heartbeat at about 7 weeks!!! I've been very worried about having a MC since this is my first pregnancy but after my doctor saw the heartbeat he said the risk goes way down! I really truly felt like a mommy when I saw its heartbeat! These next few weeks will go by before you know it! Best of luck to you!

Excited4baby2

Thank you for sharing! Makes me feel so much better! Hope everything goes well for you too!

Cantwait2BAMommy

Cantwait2BAMommy

This is my 3rd pregnancy, and I just hit week 6. My first pregnancy I don't remember any symptoms, and I miscarried at 3 months along. With my second I was paranoid and had nausia. And I developed Placenta previa. But ended up with a healthy now 3 year old. With this pregnancy I have many more symptoms, nausiated all day, sore boob n nipples, and tightness in abdomen. But I am super paranoid. I check for blood every time I pee, I worry about every little ab cramp. And now I have a horable stabbing pain in my lower back/upper butt cheek on the right side so bad I can't sleep because of the pain. Talk about making me even more paranoid. 2 more weeks till my first apt, then another month till I get to hear the heart beat (I think this is too long and am demanding a sooner listen for a hear beat) they want to wait till I'm 6 months prego to do the first ultrasound.. I will switch doctors if I can't have one sooner. I was paranoid all 9 months of being prego with my daughter and I know I will be for this one too. Took me 8 months to concieve so even more paranoia. Why doesn't it get easier?

Excited4baby2

Blueanjel- wow! I can't imagine what you are going through! You have been through so much! Best of luck to you. I agree with you about getting an ulrasound sooner. I would do the same thing.

Mariahaucoin77-- I hear you! I am just taking it day by day and hopefully everything will progress as it should! I will be fine when I see the heartbeat.. just have to get to that point.. and that is the hard part!
