How to stop worrying?

Question

This is my first pregnancy and I will be 4 weeks tomorrow. Do anyone have any tips or tricks to stop worrying about having a miscarriage? I have read so many stories(before pregnancy) and now I am deathly afraid. Now every little cramp or twinge get me nervous. Thanks in advance.

Answer

Keeping yourself busy the first few weeks and honestly, aside from keeping yourself healthy, there isn’t much you can do to support your pregnancy so I would take it easy and just be excited about it. 
I had 2 MCs before my first son and it was awful, no doubt about it but keeping myself distracted when I was pregnant with #3 really helped.

I still fear miscarriage but I’m trying to take this one day at a time. Every day I’m pregnant my odds go down a little more. And pregnancy is just the first step! Parenthood is full of worries! Be brave 😁♥️🤞🏻

I just found out today and I’ll be 4 weeks on Saturday! I’ve got a 1.5 year old daughter and I remember worrying the whole first trimester too. Cramping is super normal, that’s what gave me anxiety most! Try to relax and enjoy the journey :)

Remember you're not alone, every single one of us is absolutely terrified! Use the support network here to get it out. I've got a friend who is having a baby so I'm crocheting some stuff also helps me  practice a new pattern for when mine get here. I found out 2 days ago that I currently have twins in there... having a repeat scan on 20th and I'm so anxious and the ladies in here have really put my mind at rest. Just try and stay distracted, do something you love to do, ready a good book or binge watch something. You'll get there. Good luck 💕

Answer

I have started writing in a journal every day....when I start to feel anxious I pick it up and write to my baby! It really really calms my anxiety down tremendously!!! - sending you positive vibes and baby dust!!!🙏💕
