Negative mindset..

I’m a first time mom to-be (8 weeks🥳), and I’m feeling SO blessed and just beyond grateful to be pregnant, but I’ve found it hard to actually be excited in the moment. I can’t enjoy all the little things because I’m so scared of losing my baby. I question every symptom, pinch, or ache I get, I worry if my symptoms should be stronger or if I should have more symptoms, I worry if I’m doing things right or completely screwing up.

I’m young, but seeing my baby’s heartbeat 2 weeks ago has just made me grow so attached to them, my family knows and we’ve already discussed names, nursery ideas, and baby registries. I just want everything to be okay.

I know stress isn’t good for me or my baby, and that’s why I’m coming here for advice on how to overcome that fear. I suffer from anxiety and it seems as though knowing the statistics and seeing so many women suffer from those terrible losses makes it so much more surreal that it can happen to you. If any of you or feeling the same way or have tips to deal with this, any advice is greatly appreciated!

I would just like to add, my heart goes out to ANYONE who has every had a miscarriage, you are so so strong and I can’t even begin to imagine the pain both emotionally and physically. 🤍
