Always nervous!

I'm 17 weeks right now and cannot stop stressing out over the possibility that something may go wrong. The only time I'm calm is a day or so following a drs appt when I get to hear the heartbeat or after an ultrasound. Otherwise I feel like I'm bracing myself for the worst. Everyone keeps asking if I've bought anything yet ect but I'm just too nervous. Granted, I know that there's no such thing as jinxing it but I don't know how else to calm down. I can't wait to start feeling movement. That may help!

I feel the same way. I work full time as a freight manager and boxes fell on my stomach the other day. I was so worried, but when I went to the doctors on Thursday and heard the heart beat I was just fine

Get one of those home heartbeat Doppler things where you can listen to the babies heart at home maybe that would help :)

I'm the same way. Then when she started moving I would stress if I didn't feel her for an hour or two! Hitting 24 weeks and knowing that if something happened the doctors would try to save her helped alot. 28 weeks today
