Strange upper abdomen sensation. HELP!

Hey Ladies,

I just found out I am pregnant (haven't even had my first sono yet). I have some of the usual symptoms like beast and nipple tenderness, fatigue and such. Today I've been experiencing a constant feeling of what I thought was anxiety with a rush of
"fear" feeling going through my upper abdomen (comes in waves). However, I do not think it is actual anxiety as it is happening quite a bit and I don't necessarily feel anxious when it happens. Am I crazy? Is this normal? Or is it actual anxiety? 

I'm trying to stay as zen as possible so I don't affect the growing life inside in a negative way but I can't help but be a little nervous. It's my first time..

Yes. Its hot tubs that are not safe. Baths are perfectly fine.

I take a bath every night .... it's totally relaxing and might help relax you, too.  Just remember not to make it super hot .... make it warm enough that you're not sweating, but feel comfortable and relaxed.
Me - 32, DH - 32. We have been TTC #2 since January 2012.
BFP on 12/3/12, EDD 8/19/13, U/S 1/17/13 showed blighted ovum, d&c 1/24/13
BFP on 4/19/13, EDD 12/29/13, u/s 5/20/13 showed baby with heart rate of 180 bpm! Yea, baby! Daisypath Anniversary tickers BabyFruit Ticker
