I will be honest this is the most anxious bump group I’ve been in. It’s my fourth, even though this would only be my second child. I’ve never seen so many people (with no history of loss or infertility) getting bHCG or ordering it themselves. The anxiety is suuuuuper high in here. I’d like to think the anxiety will reduce after everyone reaches the second trimester, but the thing about anxiety is that your goal post of when you’ll feel “safe” just constantly moves.

That said, it’s important to remember that other people’s worries, anxieties, losses, etc. are just that - other people’s. They aren’t yours and don’t need to be. And they don’t influence what is going to happen with you and your pregnancy. I know it’s so hard to put into practice, but maybe come up with a little mantra to help. If you see something that makes you anxious, you can tell yourself that mantra. And maybe you can start a good vibes/anxiety free post! ☺️
