What were your 1st tri worries?

So, what were you freaking about WAY back then and you figured out or got over? 

The "OMG, I ate sushi with a side of feta and deli meats, while getting my high lights!" freak out?  Wink

 

Hehehe.  Anyway.  My 1st tri freak out was that our BFP was a surprise, and my DS was not even a year old yet.  Surprise!  More than over the shock now, and happily awaiting baby #3!

I would eat california rolls (cucumber and crab-stick, with smelt roe on the outside) and I didn't think about the smelt roe being raw (it's fish eggs). I freaked out after a friend was like "you shouldn't eat that, it has fish eggs on it". Now I order my cali rolls without the smelt roe :)

When I found out that I was six weeks pregnant I was drinking 1-3 glasses of white wine with dinner about 3-5 nights a week. One of those nights I drank more like five glasses (the whole bottle) and tossed my cookies (I don't usually do that). I have worried and worried and worried that my child will grow up and have trouble learning to read and lagging behind in schoolwork...

I don't know which made me feel better but I focused on how healthy I was eating with those glasses of wine; lots of salads, salmon, almonds, yogurt... and I heard a lot about other mothers whose babies are not having any learning problems who drank before they knew about being pregnant. I have to admit, I am still worried a tiny bit, but I feel way better about it than I did at first.

The other thing I worried about was before I could see the baby growing or feel the baby moving was that maybe I had a missed miscarriage. I miscarried my first pregnancy in first tri and, while I know that is common to loose the first pregnancy and have a perfectly healthy second pregnancy, I worried that it would happen again until I saw steady growth and especially when I felt movement.

For everything else that comes up, I am focusing on my excitement to be a mother finally! That helps me to let my worries go.

I took advil. I posted about it and got some crap, but it is linked to higher miscarriage rates, so I don't think I was too out of line for being freaked out. Looking back though I only had one dose so it was probably over kill :)

I had 2 previous pregnancies, one ended in misscarriage, the other was a molar. So I was just afraid of one of those two things happening again. I was the pregnancy Nazi my first trimester. I didnt put one toe out of line lol.

You don't share a blood stream with baby for quite a few weeks, so you really have nothing to worry about.  :-)

I freaked out b/c I shot up 10lbs before I realized I was KU... I was certain I'd gain 100lbs and have horrible GD!! Now, at 32wks I'm up a grand total of 13lbs. Didn't change a thing, apparently I just gain VERY early and put on a lot of water weight.

Besides that I worried about pretty rational things like DH being laid off [his company is going through bankruptcy]. Luckily all is looking good on that horizon, we have been far more blessed than we ever could have anticipated!!

I think I freaked out about everything. I freaked out about the fact that I had drank a lot before I found out I was pregnant in the first month or so, then I freaked out about eating deli meat, and so on haha

I've really wondered quite a few times how cavemen did it lol.

I didn't know about listeria or anything and ate a whole pound of deli meat when I was 4 weeks along. It worried me but I didn't "freak out", at the time I only suspected I was pregnant so I had very very little knowledge of what I should and should not eat.

I was also constantly worried that I had a missed miscarriage on the days my morning sickness was gone. lol Now looking back I think I had to have morning sickness partly to keep me from being constantly paranoid.

I got my BFP after my anniversary.  We had just gone on a week long cruise to Bermuda and I drank A LOT.

It also took me a while to get into the habit of taking daily vitamins.  If I forgot one day I'd worry about baby not growing.

I was dead sure for the longest time that my pregnancy was ectopic. We had literally just stopped TTC and I thought it was too good to be true. I didn't get an early u/s so I didn't let myself believe it until I was out of first tri.

Being type 1 diabetic I was always worried that there would be some sort of defect or health concern with my little guy... not that it would change how I feel about him but I just wanted him to be healthy.  Now I'm 38w1d and he's doing just great.

My other freak out was when I told my nurse getting him in was easy but it's the getting him out I'm not so sure about.  That part still has me freaked a little as this is my first.

I remember having a loong hot bath at my friends house (my tub sucks), and then my mother telling me about avoiding hot tubs.  I swear I worried for days that I did damage to my baby!

Add me to the "I drank way too much" club, then make me captain. I didn't know I was pregnant for a good month and a half, and drank... heavily. Like, hard liquor, every night. I was going through a rough time, and using that as an excuse to act like a wino. Luckily, it got to a point where I was getting ill at the thought of alcohol, and I actually quit because of that before getting a BFP. Late 1st tri / early 2nd, I had a threatened miscarriage - bright, red bleeding, cramps, etc. But everything has turned out fine so far :)

I have had mini freak outs since then... mostly over the junk I've eaten. I'm worried I'm gonna get LO addicted to sweets in utero, or eat so much crap that s/he gets cancer later on... :X  *keeps taking vitamins like they're magical healing pills*

Hmmm well the bfp for certain was a surprise. :p

Toxoplasmosis was my biggest fear until late 2nd tri when I FINALLY was told I have the antibody for it.

And when I slipped down some stairs while on vacation.

This. I still have a terrible time remembering to take them with my meal. I worry all the time baby isn't getting enough. :/

While prenatals definitely help the baby, it's my understanding that they're *more* for the mom. Baby's gonna get what he/she needs from you, whether you're healthy or not. Obviously, taking vitamins and living healthier will produce a healthier baby, but you're probably not doing too much damage from forgetting every now and then. That's my non-expert opinion, anyway.
