First time pregnant and terrified of something going wrong
Hi guys,
I’m a 27 y/o in really good health with literally no risk factors for miscarriage. I was pregnant one time before but I got an abortion at 4.5 weeks. I don’t remember having many symptoms at all that time around. I’m 5 weeks today and things are feeling normal. My boobs are sore, I get occasional pinching cramps which were worse in week 4 but seems to have subsided a bit. I’m super tired and bloated but otherwise I feel really good. My mothers intuition isn’t flagging anything but for some reason I cannot get rid of the lingering fear that something will happen and I find myself frequently hoping time will just fly by in my first trimester til I’m in the more safe zone. It just feels like this growing a baby thing is such a complex process and there are SO many areas for something to go wrong developmentally or otherwise. It’s amazing this many women can have children at all really! Anyway, there’s no real reason for me to worry other than because miscarriage is statistically fairly common, but I’m worried nonetheless. Any early first time mamas out there feeling the same? Any stories of first time pregnancy’s going well from start to finish would be appreciated :-)
