Anxious about First Trimester!!!

BobbyB · Jan 8th, 2010, 09:19 AM

Hi All

I am 5 weeks pregnant and over the moon, but SOOOOOO anxious about the 7 week wait, until my first trimester is over.

I have so been looking forward to getting pregnant and now that I am, its a nail biting experience to have to wait another 7 weeks, to know that I'm past the must crucial period in my pregnancy.

I really do need to relax and be positive, but find my mind wondering and just thinking "What if...".

Just need some support from all you ladies that have been through, or are at present, experiencing the same frustrations!

Im the same way right now. Im 6 weeks today. I've had two mc in the past, both while in my 1st tri. I go for my 6 week scan today and I pray that there is a strong healthy heartbeating in there.

I know there is nothing we can do but take care of our bodies and eat right. Its all in Gods hands. Im trying not to stress too much.

OMG what a relief, I was just about to start a thread about exactly the same thing.
This is my first pregnancy (I'm about 4 weeks) and I am SO SO SO scared, I think about nothing else!
I am terrified about loosing the baby because I've heard of so many sad stories on here.
I'm only 22 years old and healthy so I have no real reason to be so scared, but I can't help it, I'm terrified, someone put me at ease!!!! I'm going crazy! Especially because we have told our families and a friend so not only I'd be devastated about miscarrying I'd have to go through the pain of telling everyone we have told.....

Iv been exactly the same. I will be out of my first tri soon and have my first scan next wed to confirm everythings ok.
It has been the longest wait iv ever had to go through!
All iv been doing is worrying and I cant stop talking about it but I have realised that the only thing i can do is stay positive. Thinking negative is only gonna make things worse.
Only positive thoughts allowed!!!!! : )
And congratulations : )

Thank you all for responding to this thread and it's great to know that I am not the only in this position!!
I suppose it's best to think positive but it does become difficult at times.

I have bee having some really weird dreams?? Anybody exepriencing the same thing?

My husband and I are in the process of having some refurbishments done at home, which will take a couple of weeks, so I am hoping that, that will take my mind off if for a few weeks and make time go by quicker (I Hope)...

Best of luck to all you out there in the same position

I'm petrified! Trying not to show it, but it feels like I've known FOREVER and I'm only 5 weeks! (found out at 3 + 3 with a FRER!). Got a scan at 6 weeks (next mon) as I've had cramps / spotting etc. It going SO SLOWLY... and I thought the 2WW was over... now it's the 7WW!! Xx

You girls all sound exactly like me!! I have read so many awful stories and I am petrified. I had my first son 7 yrs ago and I definately did not worry....but I am now older and a lot more scared. I have a dating scan on Thursday and the 2 weeks I have had to wait seem like an eternity. Now it is 2 days away and I'm scared that it won't be good news...we tried for 18 months to conceive, following surgery and clomid we have finally managed it....so this baby is much loved already, and I just want some reassurance that everything is okay.

I can't sleep properly and find myself forever on the internet looking up symptoms and constantly worrying.

You girls are not alone... xx
