How do I stop stressing??

Question

Any ideas how to stop getting worried/ stressed until the first appointment / scan? I’m 5 weeks and I feel very pregnant but after reading a lot of horror stories I’m super terrified something will go wrong.
Shall I just keep testing until the appointment? Book in for blood work? I just don’t know what to do. Even though I’ve had 5 obvious positives including digitals I’m still too scared to get excited 😭

Answer

Something I read and saved from when I felt the same:
"Not getting excited now won’t protect you later if something goes wrong,” my mother said. “Enjoy it.”

Answer

I am exactly the same! I’ve tested 5 positives and worked out I am 5 weeks 2 days but I’ve read so many horror stories that I’m scared to get excited and keeping myself up at night with worry

Answer

There’s nothing you can do but wait and see. If you test a million times until then it will not affect the outcome. You will know if you lose the baby (expressive cramping and bleeding). Try not to let yourself go crazy. You have nature on your side. A majority of pregnancies end in a healthy newborn delivery. Stay positive, keep busy, and remind yourself that there’s nothing you can do. It’s a nerve wracking time but you’ll get reassurance soon!

5+4 and same boat ☹️ I am going crazy worrying.
