It’s very normal to be worried especially for first time mother. When I had my firstborn the whole pregnancy journey was so mentally stressful for me because of the countless worries. I will just share with you how the journey may look like so you can be prepared.
1. You worry about losing the baby.
From losing heartbeat (usually no symptoms) and passing out blood or clot.
You google every possible questions you have in mind but to realise there is no way you can know until you are under ultrasound.
So mom, take it easy first. Be positive and have faith in your strong baby there.
2. First trimester screening - more tests and Down syndrome test
You will worry about the test results
3. Detailed scan
My baby had echogenic bowel issue, a soft marker for Down syndrome. His intestines were shown larger than normal at his gestation week. So more follow up screening have to be done.
With these, each day I cannot sleep.
Then baby’s weight. Doc says baby is smaller than average, then I spent all the time trying to put on weight and eat alot of healthy and myth food such as durian.
There would be more but I can’t rmb already. But I just wanna tell you, you really have to take it easy.
Currently im having baby no.2, suddenly the whole pregnancy feels so peaceful and chill because I know there are things I can control and there are things I cannot. But I’ll just have faith and take it easy.
