5w1d aaaaaand i’m going insane

Te

I am trying SO hard to be a one-day-at-a-time lady after finding out I was pregnant yesterday. BUT IT IS SO HARD. I can’t tell if I’m having a mild cramp or just am gassy (spoiler...it’s gas), or if I suddenly started bleeding (NOPE just extra damp downstairs), or if a symptom has vanished (my new mantra is “you won’t have every symptom every day”).

Last month I had a chemical pregnancy and I definitely came into this month a little more “take it easy” but it isn’t easy! This month feels more real because I waited to test. And now I’m battling the urge to get attached because I don’t want to be devastated if something goes wrong.

First appointment next week. Staying hydrated and reminding myself to breathe until then. How are y’all managing the anxiety this early on?
