Baby class anxiety

Does anyone else have anxiety about going to their first baby class/group. My little girl is 5 weeks old, and I'm excited to start going to classes but also anxious about her crying the whole time or being really fussy and being able to settle her and ruining the class for others
Did anyone else feel like this before starting baby classes/groups or am I just over thinking it all?

Don’t panic. You’re not going to ruin the class for anyone as everyone is in the same boat. You can’t predict when your baby is going to get unsettled.

Change your baby, feed your baby, let your baby sleep or any other needs your baby sort them out in the class.

We went to our first sensory class on Sunday. My LO is also 5 weeks old. He slept through most of it 😂😂 I then changed his nappy to wake him up a bit but allllll parents in the room were seeing to there babies. Feeding, rocking, playing, changing.
Trust me no one will be looking at you or judging. And you’ll be in the right place if you need to ask for help.

I felt silly at first, singing to a sleeping child 🤣 but I got speaking to some of the parents during the breaks.

It’s good for you aswell as the babies to get out the house, keep routine, see other faces and have adult chat.
You won’t be best friends with these parents on day one, but there were parents in my class who had made friends over the months they had been going. I suppose it’s nice to see other children grow also.

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
