Does the worrying ever stop?!

[Janeysaney]

Hi everyone, so before my 1st scan which was last week I was constantly worried thinking what if I'm having an ectopic pregnancy etc and have been to my local GP to discuss things that in hindsight were really silly and I should have used my common sense! All went well at the scan, and the nurse said all looks fine thankfully. But now I get moments in the day where I still worry about things going wrong. When I dont feel any symptoms I think something might be wrong and even when I do feel symptoms I still think something might be wrong. I'm trying not to think like this but its hard. My brain automatically goes in negative mode

I know its too early to feel movement yet but I worry what if it comes time to feeling movement and I feel nothing?!

Anyone feeling like this or any tips??

i been thinking the same, although im not as far as you i still worry and panicl about everythng, ive had 3 scans so far and got another in 2 weeks but i still feel like i want to be attached to the ultrasound machine lol i think we wont stop worrying now for the rest of our life and it suppose to get worse when baby is born...i think we just learn how to deal with the worry in different ways as time progresses, at the moment i find staying busy the best way x x x

oh i hope so i know its only natural but dont want 9 months of worry

Lol, being attached to an ultrasound machine would be a funny sight! At the end of the day what will be will be, and hopefully just like the worrying before my 1st scan this worry will be useless worry too! Its just so annoying though how we dont focus on the positive and think only about the negative!

I'm afraid it's a life time of worry with a child lol one thing after another, it's such a privilege being a mommy but you don't half get grey hairs!

I'm sure everything is fine hun, and if it's any consolation I feel exactly the same! xxx

I agree the worrying never stops. Even once your LO is here you have a whole new set of worries xx

I'm a bundle of worries, too. I'm already a bit of a hypochondriac about myself--now I've just transferred those fears to the bean! I have my first appt. Monday (at 8 weeks), so I'm hoping that will help a bit. I think I get my first scan the week after that--at least I hope so!

Now I appreciate my parents so much more than I did before! I used to think my mum over-worried, but looking at how much worrying I'm doing hers was probably nothing compared to mine!

i dunno...i hope so. its been 10 days since my BFP's (3 of them) (i should be 5w 3d) and I had blood work on monday hcp 209, wednesday 303 (which is why i'm worried) lab tech told me not to worry we may of just needed to give it another day to double but i'm worried can't help it. Waiting on my blood results from yesturday and my numbers in theory should be like 1200+ since its been 6 days since my last bloodwork. But i'm still freaking out. I've had no cramping, no blood, nothing but I don't think the worry goes away.

Good luck to us both lol.

Unfortunately, you won't stop worrying until the day you die!

That being said, things do get easier (I found) when you get out of the first trimester and into the second/third. The second is easier, the third gets a little scary around the time of birth, then after the birth you spend every hour checking to make sure baby is okay, but then you tend to calm down

I never stopped worrying! First it was because I had no symptoms (and never ended up with any!). I always thought that after my 12 week scan I'd stop worrying but even after that I worried because I wasn't feeling any movement then after I did start feeling movement I worried if I didn't feel it for a while! I had an angelsounds doppler (I thought if I got one of those I'd stop worrying!) and used to constantly look for the heartbeat and if I couldn't find it I worried!

I didn't feel anything till 16 weeks - Christmas day so I will never forget the date!

And after the baby's here the worrying only gets worse! Think pregnancy just prepares you for a lifetime of worrying about your child

Mind you, I'm the world's biggest worrier as it is!

No you never stop worrying lol

I worried from 4 weeks and i worry now if i dont feel movement.

Worst of all my nan come today and told me give birth to a stillborn when she was 10 days over due

I think worrying is something we all do constantly whilst pregnant. I try to keep positive and find that it helps just to think happy thoughts rather than concentrate on what could happen

I know what you mean, I havent had many symptoms at all, and at the moment I feel pretty normal. Even though my 12 week scan was only last week I still dont feel anymore at ease. My next scan is 28th October which seems a very long way away. This is my first pregnancy, and I'm learning so much. I really never knew it would be so stressful.
