Newly pregnant and petrified . Help?

Question

Hi. Never thought I would get to come to this group. After 3 years and our first IVF transfer of two embryos, I am 5w4d along. Our first ultrasound is Thursday.
After all this time I am scared beyond words. I never dreamed it would work. 
I have all the symptoms - morning sickness, all day nausea, gas, vivid dreams - all of them. And three positive HPTs. I still don’t believe it and I worry every second something is gonna go wrong. 
I go to acupuncture every other week. I do meditations and affirmations and pray like crazy but I am still absolutely terrified.

How do you survive the first few weeks and months of pregnancy? How do I remain positive? I just didn’t think the hard part would be BEING pregnant. I thought the hard pArt was over.

Answer

I got my first BFP ever after 3 rounds of IVF.  I'm 11w5d now and still feeling hesitant about getting too attached especially after having an SCH at 10w.  The two things that I find have helped are weekly acupuncture and doing the  Panorama.  Getting the test results this week helped eased my mind and make me feel like this may actually work out.  And the fact that I've been crazy busy at work the past couple of weeks probably was a bonus even though it didn't feel like it at the time!  I wish I had more ideas to share but I think that the first trimester is a roller coaster for so many of us who've gone  through ART.  Counting down the days to our 12w ultrasound!

Answer

I wish I had some advice.  I'm in the same boat . 4w5d today after our first IVF and 3 years of trying and 'advanced maternal age' 😬.

Answer

I can honestly say I was like this throughout my entire pregnancy. It will get better but you will be hyper aware and very in tune with your body. Hang in there!! My miracle is currently sleeping on my chest ❤️

Answer

I posted something similar when I first got pregnant. I also had constant bleeding and it was terrifying. I'm 18 weeks now with a healthy baby boy and that feeling of terror started going away around the second trimester when the chance of miscarriage was reduced by a ton. All I can say is that the farther along I get the less worried I become, so my advice is to think positive and wait a few weeks more! Congratulations!!

Answer

I'm 10w after 2 years trying and I am still nervous everyday. 
I hope at some point I can enjoy this pregnancy, but I think I won't be able to relax slightly until viability. 
I try to keep myself busy and stay off of Google.
