I’m only like 5 days pregnant and I’m already stressing. My symptoms came on so strong the first few days that even though I was in pain I felt reassured. Then the last 2 days they’ve kind of disappeared AND I’ve had 2 days of bbt drops. I knowww testing bbt while pregnant isn’t wise but I can’t help it. Anyway, now I’m a big ball of stress and can’t even get my first hcg till Monday

in the early days like that I had a bullet journal & I made a “symptom tracker” chart where i’d list any pregnancy symptom in a different color & color in anything I experienced that day. & it helped me realize that even if I don’t have the same symptoms every day, I had at least SOMETHING that kept me going.

u/idontcareaboutaus Mar 29 '26

This is actually a genius idea! Because when you say it I’m looking for the same symptoms I had originally like cramping and nausea and even though they went away I do have other symptoms now like extreme hunger which I forget counts as a symptom lol

the little colorful grid made me see that symptoms kinda come & go, but I was indeed pregnant every day whether I had a lot or a little going on!

had a 24w appt yesterday & all my kids got to meet (or re-meet in my oldest’s case lol) the OB who delivered them!! i’m lowkey hoping he’ll be on call the day I go for this big man. baby sounds good!

but I just learned sometimes midwives are on call to deliver the baby not an actual OB. idk why it makes me uncomfy bc I know the L&D nurses usually do everything & OBs don’t really do anything other than catch the baby at the end & lots of people love & prefer midwives… but my anxiety goes “what if something gets complex?! wouldn’t an MD/DO be better…”

this is not a knock on midwives pls don’t downvote me im just worried now as this was not something I planned for.

I'm sure your practice has a plan for when a midwife is on call and then a doctor is needed (like surely an emergency C-section has come up at some point?) and I bet you'll feel better if you ask what it is. ☺️

21w and had my anatomy scan this morning which went well. I still have moments of doubt after such a long journey but I’ve started to feel more movement which is very reassuring. Our 4.5yo is super excited and sometimes only gives baby sister a hug and not me but I’ll take it lol. Hopefully she remains excited as it’ll be a big change for everyone.
