How did you get through your first trimester?

Question

I am 4 weeks 2 days and and beyond scared to miscarry. All seems perfectly fine, but I still constantly check for spitting or bleeding. I don't have a blood check until Aug 7th. What did you all do to manage stress/anxiety about losing your baby?

Answer

Stayed off pregnancy boards and didn’t google anything. Just tried to stay busy and keep my mind off it.

Answer

The fear does start to ease, for me it was a bit better after about 8 weeks and by week 11/12 I wasn’t checking so anxiously every time I went to the bathroom! (Still checking, just with less panic 😄). But the worry will always be there. 
People say stay busy and take your mind off it but I was so sick I spent weeks 6-12 on the sofa and with OH working away for two months I didn’t have a lot of distractions, and I like a lot of info so I did read a lot but didn’t let it get me in a panic. If you are the kind of person that expects the worse then you’re probably better not reading much at all! 
You have to just stay positive and assume the best, what’s going to happen will happen and you can make yourself so miserable worrying. The first trimester goes so slowly but when you get past it you can really start to enjoy the pregnancy. Good luck 😊

Answer

I reminded myself that if something bad were to happen that it would be out of my control, I was home a lot and I continuously prayed 💙

Answer

Remind yourself that the majority of pregnancies end well and yours has a good chance of ending well also. This is my first one and I’ve made it to 26 weeks with no issues. :)

Answer

It’s okay to worry! I don’t know anyone who didn’t during the first trimester... just stay busy and take care of yourself and everything will be fine!

Answer

I’m a very logical thinker. I like to know all the facts, so I knew the stats, and told myself if it was going to happen to me, it just was. I have PCOS and endometriosis so a higher miscarriage risk than most and the thought stayed in the back of my mind for a while. I took it easy and avoided everything that could potentially cause a miscarriage so I knew I was doing everything in my power to prevent it and left the rest up to my body. Knowing that I was doing all I could made me feel in control to an extent.

Answer

Honestly you just have to accept that there’s nothing you can do. All you can do is wait it out.  
Also I just reminded myself that if I had a miscarriage in the first trimester, it was almost certainly because there was a chromosomal or other genetic problem, and my body was doing exactly what it was supposed to do.

Answer

I didn’t find out till 7w4d 
I had my 19th partied had my best friends 19th parties, ate so much fish and tuna every day at work for lunch... 
then I found out I was pregnant I just watched what I ate didn’t read into anyone’s stories and stayed positive! Xxx

Answer

Keep yourself busy and try to forget about it. That’s what I did.
