How do you stay positive?

Question

Hey ladies! So I'm just curious how you all pass the time in this first trimester waiting? I'm 8 weeks and if it's a day I have minimum symptoms I worry so much! But then the next day symptoms are full swing! What do you ladies do to stay out of your head or pass time?

Answer

I have a home Doppler and have heard the heart beat 3 times now. My first appointment is tomorrow but it is so helpful to have the Doppler when I get anxious. I used it with my first pregnancy before I started feeling my daughter move. But as the others have said, there is little you can do to change anything so just try to relax. I know, easier said than done! Congrats!

Answer

Realize that there is nothing I could do and whatever happens happens. I have General  Anxiety disorder and this is the only way I can make it. I'm 9 weeks and saw a heartbeat already, but like you, every day I wake up and wonder if it's still there.

Answer

I find it helps me to completely focus on other things, basically not think too much about being pregnant. I had a missed miscarriage in May and it had been 5 weeks since the baby had stopped growing and I didn't know. At the end of the day, only really put thought into the things you have control over, everything else you just need to find a way to let go. Not easy, but important. 😊

Answer

Take a nice warm bath and read a book, hope it helps
