11th week paranoia anyone?

Ok I am 11 and a half weeks and I actually feel like cancelling everything in my life and going to bed for 2 weeks. I have had the usual first trimester m/c worries as we all do but starting this week its like a big clock ticking in my head and I cant bare it. Does anyone else nearing the end of the first trimester feel this way? We are all told that the first 12 weeks are the danger zone regarding m/c but up till now I have felt fairly calm about it. Lol I know that it isn't a case of 'risk goes at the stroke of midnight on the 12th week' but thats how I feel. I dont remember feeling this way the first time I think I have done way to much googling - I had my first child 15 years ago there was no googling in those days lol. There was also no fatel doppler for home use, hmmmmm cursed thing!

I too am 11 1/2 weeks...I have now seen the heartbeat 3 times and heard it twice...I m/c'd in Aug 07 so I was pretty paranoid in the beginning.  Now I've calmed down some, I just want the next 6 weeks or so to FLY by so I can find out what the sex is and start buying stuff.

I have been paranoid my whole pregnancy so far.  I felt like the 12th week would NEVER get there!  But it did and now I'm 19 wks!  Try to relax- I know, easier said than done.  Before you know it, the time will pass.  I agree, having so much info accessible to us now can be helpful but it can also give us a bunch of stuff to worry about we would never have thought of on our own.  
Best wishes!!
