Overthinking first time preggie

Hello, just found out that I’m 6 weeks pregnant on Letrozole after 2 years of TTC 🥹 The feelings are overwhelming! Gynae appointment is scheduled on 30 Jan.. this 2 weeks wait is so hard! I can’t help but overthink if baby is well or what’s going on in my womb and it makes me stressed and worried 😳 I don’t have morning sickness symptoms except for sore boobs and cramps. Anyone mum to be/mums have advice on overthinking? 🥺

I am a first time mom too and I tend to over-think and over-analyze a lot. The rationale mind of mine sometimes just can’t stop wondering what if… My partner has to think of a rationale way to “convince” me not to do it - for example, overthinking sometimes can cause anxiety in mom and would you want your baby to feel it too? Of course NO. Can overthinking solve any problems? NO. If I don’t think about it, my baby will be happier and grow better? Oh yes!!! So just be happy that your child has chosen you as his/her mom and I believe that every child is a miracle! Wish you all well and a smooth pregnancy!

Omg thank you for whatever you shared.. it really is what I needed to read today. Was just overthinking last night and had chest tightness 🥺 Indeed baby is a gift and miracle and I should believe in him/her too! Thank you so much :)
