Im around 6 weeks and since theres no scan yet, i keep wondering how to even know baby is fine. some days symptoms are there, some days not, and that makes me nervous. how did u all stay calm in early weeks?
In my first trimester, I felt so anxious every single day wondering if my baby was safe inside. I felt a sigh of relief only after my first ultrasound, so trust your doctor and try not to worry too much.
Mild symptoms like fatigue are normal, but keep a check on your body. I had to be very careful with my blood sugar later on, so eating clean and getting regular scans from the start is the best way to ensure everything is fine.
I can't give medical advice, but in my experience, I only felt reassured after my 8-week dating scan where we heard the heartbeat. Until then, I just monitored that there was no severe cramping or bleeding.
For me, as long as I was craving spicy chaat and then immediately feeling lazy, I knew my hormones were working fine! Honestly, normal pregnancy symptoms like breast tenderness and mild nausea are good signs, but the only real way to know is your first scan.
With twins, my double morning sickness was my daily update that they were still in there causing trouble! Joking aside, unless you have severe pain or bleeding, everything is usually going fine. Just wait for your ultrasound.
I just delivered 2 months ago and remember this phase clearly. You won't feel baby movements yet, so you just have to rely on your routine scans and blood tests. If there is no heavy pain or bleeding, trust the process.
It is so hard not to worry during those early weeks, your feelings are completely valid. Just breathe, take your vitamins, and wait for that magical first scan. The anxiety is real, but you are already a wonderful mom.
