First time mom anxiety

Hi mommies, Currently in my week 10 of pregnancy. Last went for a scan is week 8. Dr said that baby is growing well. But i dont know why, im always worried about baby health. Have been doing well, no bleeding, normal discharges, intermittent abdominal discomfort, no loos of weight and no morning sickness so far. Should be a good sign right. Haha. Next scan in 2 weeks time.

I too feel anxious n worry. I was only excited for like 5mins when we got the news then I started feeling anxious and alr started planning n thinking. I guess is normal especially for 1st time mom. But do be mindful of these emotions and seek help if you starts feeling depressed or paranoid. There is a lot of info out there and it can be quite overwhelming. For me I only allowed myself like 1hr reading then I do other activities. I also have counsellor who I can depends on to speak to if needed. Get a bunch of friends to support you not just about the pregnancy but also can cheer you up. Go shopping or watch a movie or just go have a drink at cafe and talk about other stuff beside pregnancy will help. Oh and another thing I keep telling myself is I cannot stress n worries too much cos I don’t want my baby come out grumpy 😆 tht kinda snapped me out of it. Hopefully you will feel better and can fully enjoy your pregnancy journey.
