Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi! 37 weeks pregnant now but I remember all the anxiety and people telling me all would be well. Largely they were right- Im having an average normal pregnancy with a couple hiccups that medicine can manage. I would say- handle it the best way you can and leave results up to a higher power- and hope the higher power treats you kindly :) Wishing you all the best!

I am at 7th week and my first ultrasound is scheduled at around end of 8th week. I have this anxiety as well! I feel scared when I read something negative about pregnancies. Trying to keep myself occupied at work and I do long walk and cooking in the evenings.

Remember that in some countries or with some care providers women only have one ultrasound prior to delivery to establish baby’s position!

The ultrasound is extra.
The real truth of it is your own body, your own sense that things are not amiss

Assume all is well and know that they wouldn’t see much if they brought you in now.

I agree with EY1 and Affirmations…sounds corny but it helps throughout pregnancy even at 36w (where I am at now)

If you are concerned, call your OB. I had minor cramping around 5 weeks and asked to have an appointment to get it checked out in case it was a yeast infection, uti, etc. They also did two hcg tests to make sure it was appropriately rising and did an early sonogram which meant that I got to see the yok sac. Turns out everything was normal, they think the cramping was caused by my corpus luteum cyst which is a normal occurrence during pregnancy. All this to say if you are anxious, you can make an appointment and get some peace of mind ❤️ also, I started feeling sick around 5 ish weeks as well which was also a reassuring sign!

If you really want some assurance, you can go order a HcG quantity blood test. I took a couple before my 9weeks ultrasound via Jason health. Like 65usd and you go to a local quest lab for blood draw. A high and growing hcg are good signs of viable pregnancy until you can hear the baby’s heartbeat.

Does the Hcg has to double every 2 days? Mine is increasing but not doubling. Waiting for my doc to give me more details next week. But unable to control this anxiety 😥
