How do you take mind off things?

Question

On 9 weeks. My mind plays so many fears out to me. I had no symptoms other than sore breast and fatigue. As I’m getting closer to my 12 week scan, now that the date is in in plain sight (three weeks away) I’m just. I can’t even. 
In my head I have it that I’ll be getting bad news, but I have lots of hope too. 
What did you all do to take your mind off the worry? Any tips?

Answer

Saaaaame! I'm 9 weeks 3 days- only symptoms have been really sore boobs, exhaustion, and I get out of breath easily. My scan is next week and the waiting is so hard! I get excited and then I tell myself not to... I really feel where you're coming from. I just keep praying and trying to stay positive :)

Answer

I had minimal to almost zero symptoms when I went in for my first appointment - 9weeks - had an US and everything was not only going perfectly fine but I was dated for 12 weeks (thanks irregular periods!) !!! Having no symptoms worried me too but just count yourself lucky! Best wishes!

Answer

I bought an at home baby doppler so I could hear my baby's heartbeat before my next appointment. Made me feel a whole lot better.

Answer

I know it sounds cheesy, but just try to stay positive. I’m 9 weeks and 3 days and have already announced my pregnancy publicly over a week ago. Try to stay off google as much as possible also. That’s been my worst enemy by far. I try to think of all the things that we’re going to do together and I try to guess what he/she is going to look like as a baby, toddler, teen, etc. After my first ultrasound and seeing our baby move, it gives me so much joy that I’m even carrying this amazing blessing. I don’t even think of what could go wrong anymore because I know that I love this baby, and no matter what I always will. I also pray every single night before bed that God watches over him/her to be healthy and keep growing and that always gives me some peace of mind before I go to sleep. ❤️

Answer

I try to stay busy with projects and social activities to stay distracted
