I've only just found out i'm pregnant. It wasn't planned but I welcome it. I am so worried for some reason of having a miscarriage i've never been pregnant before, so I don't know where the worry is coming from.
I need to stop thinking negative thoughts, has anyone got any ideas on how? I'm probably ony 5 to 7 weeks pregnant so i've got a while to go yet. I don't think all this worrying is good for the little one but i'm so negative can somebody out there please give me postative thoughts.
Is this normal.

Self help books on overcoming worry have useful advice
sometimes being pregnant reduces anxiety, sometimes not

Worried Too

I am about 5 weeks pregnant and so thrilled but so nervous. My mom had a miscarriage before at 3 months. I have so much anxiety and can breath or sleep well. I just want this so bad and am trying to stay optimistic but I just want to celebrate and tell everyone and I can't. My husband tries to tell me at least I am fertile and not to worry but I just can't stop being paranoid. I have read stress can lead to miscarriages and I may start yoga or pilates to relax my mind. Please let me know if you find anything that helps. I am working on just taking deep breaths but my next appointment isnt until the end of september and that seems like a lifetime. Sorry to ramble.
