[soulcyster11]

HI.....i am 3 weeks pregnant with my second child.....After 2 years of trying to conceive this should be a very exiting time in my life.....BUT i am more worried then excited.....:(....i am no stranger to anxiety or stress by any means.....my first and only other pregnancy turned out wonderful...NO complications....but since i am a worrier by nature and have tried soooooooooo long and hard to get pregnant again, i am worrying myself sick that this pregnancy will somehow end in miscarriage....i realize that i am fortunate for conceiving as many people cant or it takes much longer for them to conceive then i..... i dont really feel "pregnant"....no nausea ( which i had lots of for my first)  but a little tender in the breasts....please help and share stories of your anxiety during pregancy too ....thank you

Try to relax! I know how you feel. After 3 m/c, I was terrified my entire pregnancy w/my son. I wasn't relaxed until I was holding him in my arms and still I worried all that could go wrong. 3 weeks is very early. How did you even find out that early? So you are fine w/feeling "not pregnant" - it's so soon! I wish you all the best! Be happy and enjoy the next 8-9 months!!!

don't worry. it is too early to feel any symptoms yet.  i understand how you feel. i had two previous pregnancies that went perfect. but i recently had an ectopic rupture after trying for the last three years to get pregnant. we still want a baby really bad, but i am scared to even start trying again. i know that when i finally get pregnant again, i will be a worryer as well.  after the first few doc appointments, you will relax. as soon as you see the baby on ultrasound, you will feel much better. good luck, and congrats.

thanks so much guys :) ....your stories are very comforting....i think i am three weeks pregnant since i am one week past my due period and i took a test two days ago and found out....as to whether or not i am three weeks i am not sure ...i just assumed

If you are one week past your period, that would make you 5wks. They always start counting from the first day of your last cycle. So, when your period is due, you are actually already 4wks.

Hope this helps!! I would not worry to much about not feeling pg, I am about 8wks and hell did not break loose until I got into my 6th wk.

Take Care

You are probably more like 5 weeks because you count from the first day of your last period which should be approximately two weeks before ovulation. Congrats, have a happy and healthy 9 months!!

wow thanks for the info and encouragement....i feel kind of stupid for not knowing that lol :( ....that makes me feel a ton better tho because it means i am 2 weeks further ahead of what i thought i was ....:D...i am ALSO WORRIED about cleaning my bathroom the other day before i found out i was pregnant and used some bleach .....what do you think abotu the fumes??

[rdh1981]

Don't feel stupid, it is a very common mistake!! I am not sure about the bleach, but I would not do it again. If you are really concered about that you can ask your doctor.  

You must remember when you are pg, your dh must wait on you hand and foot!! So no more cleaning the bathroom!!!!!!!!

****!!!!!....i will definetly NEVER do it again  and hope i didnt do anything detrimental to the fetus ..
