Anxiety on First Trimester

Hmm you will actually be worried and anxious from now till forever. 😅 first trimester you will be going through first heartbeat scan, Down syndrome/ NIPT test if you opt for it. Then from worrying if the pregnancy is viable to if its healthy to gender reveal, checking growth/development scan to your own health.. then baby’s weight and checking your baby movement everyday, some day you will feel less movement then you will start panicking. To last trimester, wondering if you have bought everything you need and when will deliver to every night cannot sleep very well as the bump is huge, feet hurts, backache and more. Right when you thought give birth will be okay, then you start to realise there are more to come and it tends to get abit overwhelming for some. Haha What i wanna say is.. try not to think too much because it will never end and most of the time we are just scaring ourselves. It will only strain our mental health at the end of pregnancy. So just be as positive as possible, don’t need to google too much, anything best to check with your gynae.

Normal for every ftm. But pls don't let it get really into you. FYI, whatever you feeling has an impact on your unborn child so try to stay as positive as you can. If you've not experiencing any severe cramps and/or with bleeding, your foetus is ok! Make yourself busy but at the same time take very good care of yourself. Take your folic acid daily in the morning. If you don't have any, can buy it at any pharmacy, Watson/Guardian, etc. This is very important for your baby. I will advice against taking any other supplements before seeing your gynae except the folic acid. Take care!

hi Elaine, I'm the same as you I'm week 5 now. but I'm worried constantly abt the growth. can I go to a gynae now? but is truth that cannot detect heartbeat or do ultrasound scanning at this week 5 now ? should I wait and can you advise me what I should do?

I’m at week 6. Went to see doc last week. I think I was more upset about my inability to keep food down to be worried about anything else. But my doc was very reassuring telling me nothing I can do will affect the growth at this period.
