I'm being irrational, but am I the only one?

Nerves etc are driving me insane...I know I need to calm the eff down, but this is all so new and scary.

I'm afraid to go to the bathroom...because I don't want to randomly start bleeding.

I'm afraid to have sex with H anytime soon since I don't want to stir things up.

I'm afraid to wear jeans that are too tight around my mid-section (most are tight right now, bloating big time)

Ugh, this all sounds so silly now that I've typed it all out...anyone else having any irrational fears?

I was a little nervous about sex but I got over it. My doctor also said its totally fine and healthy. I was also nervous ab exercising, I stopped running but I power walk on my treadmill everyday anyway. The baby has a lot of cushion in there, stop worrying!! :)

The only thing I freak out about it the bleeding.  I miscarried last time (first time) and every time I wipe- I check...it's habit.  But having sex with dh is perfectly fine...it won't hurt the baby.  I'm wearing tights today and a sweater dress and it's so tight on the stomach so I pulled it down and my bloat belly is hanging over a little bit- lol so I hear ya.  Don't worry so much tho- just enjoy being pregnant and the less you worry the less stress you have- the better it is for baby.  :)  but ps- it's perfectly normal to worry.

I'm the same way.  I hold my breath every time I go to the bathroom, because I'm afraid I'm going to see blood. This is my first pregnancy after 2.5 years of TTC, so I'm terrified about something happening!  

 Just remember, as long as we're being healthy and not doing anything outrageous, there's really nothing we can do to prevent a miscarriage.  Telling myself that helps, and makes me enjoy this more!

Prayers and good luck to you!

It's really good to read that other people are experiencing these fears. I am so scared of bleeding and miscarriage, everytime i have the slightest pain or cramp i freak out. I'm trying really hard not to stress because i know it's bad for the baby but it gets tough!

My doctor assured me that sex was ok but i'm definitely having less of it because i'm scared and i think my fiance is a little bit too! we laugh about it though so I'm sure we'll adjust.

I'm scared of tight jeans too! i wear jeans to work everyday and they are already starting to feel a bit restrictive? but i'd feel so silly buying maternity jeans before i even have a bump!

The other thing i worry about is work, i work at a mine site and do 12.5 hour days and then have to find the time to do some exercise to keep healthy for baby and i'm worried i'm going to exhaust myself. it's a pretty full on lifestyle.

Anyway, you're definitely not alone with the irrational fears, it's good to type them out! thanks for the post.
