Anxious mamas?

I was in the same boat back in 2023 and I only told my partner and his parents. To keep my anxiety at bay I ended up crocheting blankets😅x

Thanks Julia I think I need to, it’s crippling I can’t even do normal activities it’s terrible and end of first trimester is ages away

I’m 5 weeks and 4 days as well I’m so anxious all the time. Worrying about what I eat or what I do. Or if I’m feeling any pregnancy symptoms every day! I’m trying to keep calm but it’s hard not to worry! Roll on 12 week scan!!

@Lucy The first trimester is awfully long compared to the rest which seem to fly in. Going for walks, cleaning and cooking are good ways to ease the anxiety as you’re constantly busy x

Chloe we’ve got this! Yes I chat gpt everything it’s honestly awful

@Chloe yes I ChatGPT everything and every time I go on TikTok somebody has something bad to say it drives me crazy

I’m doing a reassurance scan next week Friday

@Julia noted im going to

@Julia thanks so much

@Lucy yes TikTok and all my other social media have been showing negative post of pregnancies. I deleted TikTok as my fyp was just so scary 😥 but trying to stay busy and positive is hard I have my moments still. I stoped taking pregnancy test now as I was getting obsessed to see if the line was getting darker so I stopped that now

@Lucy I want to book one so bad thinking of booking one for next weekend!

@Chloe I think I’m going to do that as I don’t need to spiral right now

@Chloe do it if it’ll help you feel better, I’m just nervous about it but can’t wait

@Lucy same feeling nervous about it wish I could have one now!

@Lucy I do recommend it I still use Facebook and instagram. Probably will re download TikTok at some point. When I’m not so anxious

@Chloe yes it’s my first pregnancy and I read somewhere that even when your baby is here you still worry about every little thing

@Lucy yes this is true I have a 7 year old and 2 year old it never ends 😅 even tho this is not my first pregnancy I’m probably more nervous then my others! I’m so much more aware x

@Chloe this is my first and I should be more relaxed but I love reading into things a lot

@Lucy yes I was the same, even tho it’s not my first I love tracking my pregnancy 🤰

I’m pregnant with my second and I’m still just as anxious this time as my first. In fact maybe slightly more this time! As much as it’s temping to Google everything (I’m crazy for it), really try not to as you’ll always find something negative. There could be 10 positives and 1 negative and if you’re anything like me you’ll just focus on the one negative, causing more anxiety x

@Lucy this is me atm I’ve stayed off Google the last couple of days, trying to relax and not stress myself out!

@Lucy I’ve decided no google or Reddit threads for me, I’m on a ban
