Paranoid much?

Question

I miscarried years ago but am now my husband and I are pregnant. This will be our first child and I want everything to be amazing. I have felt "pregnant" off and on but the symptoms aren't always there. I have some light cramping too which is mostly just annoying. So I told my husband that I want to take a pregnancy test every week until 12 weeks. Just to be sure. I am currently 6+3 and my first appt is May 8Th. I'm just so nervous and anxious for everything to work out. Am I being irrational? Anyone else feel this way?

Answer

Not to be negative, but even if something were to go wrong a pregnancy test wouldn't tell you that. It will still come out positive for awhile as your hormones decrease. I think it would drive me nuts, personally

Answer

I was very nervous leading up to my first appointment, and after seeing him/her and hearing the heartbeat at 8w5d it significantly eased my anxiety. I don't think I'll ever feel 100% free from anxiety (now it's making it past the first trimester, then worrying about other things that can possibly go wrong...) but truthfully hun I think testing every week will be a waste of money. As long as you're not having SEVERE cramps or bleeding, chances are everything is ok (and if it's not, pregnancy test wouldn't show anything). Just try to stay calm! Good luck to you!

Answer

I felt the same way... I had my doctors appt and that didn't help. After the ultrasound I felt a bit better but I am still worried. I am 13 weeks today. I'm hoping my next Drs appt will make me feel better. Should get to hear the babes heart then. I think that will ease my mind.

Answer

I'm 6 weeks and scared to take anymore test because as the hcg increases to a certain level then the line gets lighter...I would freak if the line got lighter!

Answer

Same boat. My fiancée doesn't quite get why I'm still taking tests every now and then, "you have morning sickness everyday , your obviously still pregnant"  but I still get nervous and take a test just to make sure, as long as it's not making you spend piles of money and it makes you feel better, why not?
