Hey moms. So I am about 7weeks prego with my 2nd (and last) baby. My 1st doc appointment is tomorrow, and Im a nervous wreck!!! I am so much more paranoid with this pregnancy then my 1st...im scared there is no baby....lol...wierd right? Scared there is going to be something wrong...scared about EVERYTHING!!!! Im sure I feel a bit better after my appointment but uuuuugh how do I deal???? Im bummed too cause my hubby can't come, he got dragged into a manditory meeting he can't miss :( Just looking to vent a bit, anyother moms feel this crazy during pregnancy?
I am actully at 8 weeks now they did not schedule till my 8th week. I feel much better my appointment went great, my little peanut is safe and sound so far :) Thanks for you support.
I remember feeling that way too. You'll feel so much better once they do the ultrasound and you can see that there is indeed a little one in there. Just try to keep your mind occupied on other things (watch a good show, read a book) and breathe!
Way more paranoid with my second than with my first. I was in such a "bubble" emotionally and mentally the first time around. I've had some complications with this pregnancy, but nothing really serious....I'm not sure, I should feel confident at this point but I don't feel consistently confident.
Perhaps its because I'm too distracted with my toddler to give the pregnancy all my attention like I did the first time around and then I freak out thinking I'm not giving baby #2 enough attention and something must be wrong because I've forgotten about him.
Whatever it is, I'm resolving to be more confident and secure. I'm almost through my 2nd trimester, it's about time I enjoy the pregnancy a bit.

Aaaaw, don't worry mom! Maybe focus on the one you've already got, I mean, while there's only ONE, you know?
Congrats, and keep us posted!

I'm always surprised when I hear about doctors that are willing to take people for their first OB appointment in a new pregnancy prior to 8-to-10 weeks. Around here the doctors simply will not schedule you until you're estimated to be at least that far along.
Just slow yourself down and stop using dramatic language. If you do that you'll feel better.
I'm right there with you :(. I'm six weeks and have had 2 friends miscarry recently and have another friend with a lot of issues with the baby she is carrying. I'm doing my best to not compare. I wasn't nervous with my first one, but this is my last one - and I'm besides myself. I'm trying to stay calm and relaxed and enjoy the pregnancy. Good Luck with everything.
Maybe it's because you have already been through one full pregnancy and are remembering what it feels like in the final months when the baby is so "obviously" present. And I think the second time you are just so much more aware of potential complications and their impact since you've already experienced the joy of one healthy pregnancy and birth. The first time you are kinda in la-la land you know?
And of course the hormones. I went through period of this with both pregnancies, weird irrational anxiety/fear/worry. I was obsessed with my driving and afraid I would be in a car crash. Then I was also pregnant during swine flu and got all caught up in that frenzy, afraid I would get it and die, but also afraid to get a vaccine and harm my child. Looking back that is so uncharacteristic of me!
Ahhh, pregnancy.
