Overly worried mother

Hi mommies, I’m having my 1st baby so I do not hav any prior experiences before. I’m now only 10 weeks in so it’s just my first trimester. Am I the only one whom’s overly worried with whether my baby is still alive because I had friends whom’s baby no longer have a heartbeat by the time they attend their next gynaecologist visit. I do get some cramps here and there sometimes but it’s not severe and I also still have the morning sickness symptoms. But my gynaecologist visit is only scheduled for once a month, it’s will be costly and quite ridiculous if I go to the gynaecologist for an ultrasound every week so any suggestions on what I should/can do?? 🥺 #advicepls

Hi I too having my 1st and I when through what you have gone through too. My worries started approx. 5mins after I rcv call from nurse telling me congratulations I’m pregnant. A lot of things I was trying to plan ahead as the timer start and I have only 9mths to prepare. Then my anxiety kicks in then paranoia as well. The more I read bout pregnancy and risks in pregnancy, the more worry I am. I was literally crying in da middle of night uncontrollably and I knew I needed help. I immediately arrange an appointment with my counsellor to talk bout it. It’s fine to be worry being a FTM but you need to be aware/mindful of these emotions and get the necessary help. No harm to reach out to someone for help. My counsellor advice me not to read too much as information can be overwhelming so only about an hour or so. When I reached 2nd trimester, I immediately starts planning for my booster shot then I got my freedom. I when out for yoga have lunch with girlfriends and do things I enjoy doing. Keep my mind preoccupied Just keep in mind, no bleeding =good, still got morning sickness = good, mild cramp= good, no sharp pain/severe pain = good, no call frm clinic about your test results = good Enjoy your pregnancy journey and do reach out if you need a listening ears
