Anxiety in early pregnancy

[Walker1992]

I have my 12 week scan next week and my anxiety is awful all my pregnancy symptoms have disappeared i spoke to my mid-wife and she said its not uncommon for symptoms to disappear because they can come back, but my young nephew tripped me up at the weekend and i fell forward although i was well padded on my stomac and it was into bushes this has not helped my anxiety the mid-wife said asked if i had any bleeding etc since and said i should he fine does anybody else have bad anxiety in there pregnacy?

You think pregnancy is going to be such a happy time, and I don't think anyone is prepared for the anxiety a lot of us feel. Especially when it's been a tough journey to get pregnant. And it's hard at the beginning when you've nothing to go on but your symptoms.

Sadly, missed miscarriages do happen but on the other hand it's also normal for symptoms to come and go. My nausea and fatigue just disappeared around week 11 - which was great but also scary!!

I hope everything's fine and seeing the baby wriggling away at the 12 week scan settles your anxiety so you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy xxx

I was super anxious throughout my pregnancy and rushing for the underground after work one day I fell on my stomach too prior to my first scan, I think I was around 10 weeks. But all was ok. I remember going to the scan so anxious that when I heard the baby’s heart beat for the first time I cried so much I couldn’t breath, it was the best feeling in the world.

Easier said than done but try keeping busy and think positive thoughts and talk, talk to friends and family keep your mind focused, and all will be ok. Wish you all the best x

I was really worried too because all my symptoms completely disappeared about week 10 but I’ve had my scan in the last couple of weeks and everything was perfect. The anxiety is horrible, but you’re not alone in feeling that way so just try and think positive as best you can. Let us know how you get on xx

Totally understand the anxiety, you've just got to try and keep positive. My symptoms pretty much disappeared at 9 weeks and then came back at 13-14 weeks! You're constantly on the look out for signs to reassure yourself. Wishing you all the best with your scan.

Remember you can book private scans if you're looking for reassurance before/between your NHS scans - we had one at 10 weeks because I needed the reassurance and wanted my husband to be able to attend with me. Best decision we made.

Hi, I am sorry to hear about your anxieties. I hope your scan reassures you. I am having worries about my symptoms too. I am 10 weeks 4 days, and today my symptoms are the lightest they have been throughout my pregnancy. I am googling everywhere like mad that this is normal. As much as I have not enjoyed the sickness and nausea and sore boobs, I have been reassured by them that my baby is growing. This is my 3rd pregnancy this year, and the furthest along I have been so far. I have just under 2 weeks to wait for my 12 week scan, and I feel like it will be the longest 2 weeks of my life, while I continue to analyse every symptom, or lack of symptom. I am holding on to hope as I can feel an increased pressure over the last 2 days in my pelvic area, and I am still incredibly tired all the time. I am taking that as a sign that baby is still growing.

I hope you have some ropes of hope you can hold on to too while you wait for your scan

Thank you, i was the same as use and used google sometimes i wished i'd never used it as some of the thing i read made my anxiety worse but others made me feel better, i will keep everything crossed for you ,this is my 2nd pregnancy this year and i have never wanted anything more i have started to develop a little bump and that is the only thing reassuering me at the moment that baby is fine and still growing, i hope all goes well for you. Xx

I hope everything goes well for you too. I'm sure we will both be fine xxx
