[quote=Anonymous]Poppy with another quick thought about worrying, etc.: during my first pregnancy, I went through a period from the end of the first tri until I really felt the baby moving--which wasn't until 20 weeks or so (anterior placenta)--where I didn't think much about pregnancy at all.  I sort of forgot about it.  Friends of mine have said that felt similarly; yes, intellectually you know you're pregnant, but it's not part of your daily life as it is later on, and in the beginning when you feel awful.  If you are anxious, for whatever reason, I think it can be easy to fill that space with worry.  Yes, you're pregnant, but it's not quite real, or wasn't for me, until I could feel movement.  Once I could, it was great to have those daily reminders, and I really embraced being pregnant.

Just wanted to chime in in case that's helpful...  I feel like it's a weird time in pregnancy before you're really showing/baby's moving.  The third tri was far and away my favorite last time, since I finally looked obviously pregnant, baby was moving a lot, etc.  I hope you can find that place of calm soon--even with all its difficulties, there's something so cool about being pregnant.[/quote]
