Is anyone else struggling with not being paranoid something is wrong in between scans? Anything I can do to not be so worried something is wrong?

I don’t know if this going to help at all but I’ll try. My aunt took five years to get pregnant and this is the advice she gave me with dealing with pregnancy. She believes strongly that we can control a lot of what happens through our energy. And so with that she said that I should try as much as possible to have positive energy and not put any of my energy into worrying. It personally has helped a lot for me to have this mindset. At the end of the day, we are kind of out of control and it’s not worth worrying about an unknown

How far along are you? Did you get your first scan? If yes, you saw heartbeat?

Assuming it’s your first, the kicks and rolls are just about to start. May be your are already having some quickening but it takes time to realize that it’s the baby and not just some gas bubbles.
For me when the movements started, it was all the confirmation I needed everyday that things were okay.

Prozac helps me. I literally couldn’t survive the panic. I started it in week 10 and am now week 23. It took the edge off at first but now reached full efficacy and I actually don’t get to that point. I had my anatomy scan that I was waiting with bated breath for since finding out I was pregnant, and it’s 4 weeks til my next scan (so next week) and I’m literally 90% fine. Normally by 1 week after scan I was just like ‘baby is dead’. I even felt a lot of quickening for a week and then nothing for 2 weeks and didn’t get to that point of panic that I had prior. I’m just, with the help of Prozac, starting to realize that I am going to be anxious no matter what but so far everything has been okay each time so I just need to keep on keeping on.
It’s normal thoughts and feelings btw, but no reason to have to suffer to that level.

Any partners here that can share how they handled maternity leave?

Is it unethical to have these calls and not be transparent? (Continued in comments)
