Can't stop worrying

[JenKat]

I have found it hard to not spend every day worrying that something has gone wrong. I am 7 weeks now (according to me app), and have had some mild nausea on and off and been feeling exhausted. But my memory of my first pregnancy is that I felt A LOT worse and much earlier.
So now, whenever I go through a day without nausea, I assume that that means there is something wrong and keep checking when I go to the toilet if there's any blood.
I know I am probably needlessly worrying but I can't seem to stop.
Far be it from me to have the constant nausea I had last time, but I wish I just wouldn't worry so much every time it goes away. Does anyone else feel like this?

Hi! I felt like this before my first OB appointment. But you have to remember that every pregnancy is different. Some women have symptoms, some women don’t. That doesn’t mean there is something wrong. My doctor told me that the excessive worrying is going to cause unnecessary stress on the baby and that’s no good. I would try to relax... working yourself up isn’t going to help you know? Just remain positive and hopefully all will be well. That’s all you can do!

I still feel like this and am 40 weeks tomorrow. All you can do is take it one day at a time and try and relax. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way

Thank you for your kind responses. I think I was less worried with my first pregnancy because I didn't know what to expect. Now I keep comparing the two and expect them to be the same. I even took another pregnancy test just to be sure, I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm still pregnant.
I am trying to remind myself that if there was really anything wrong I would likely experience some bleeding and then I can take it from there. Until that happens, you're both right, I should try and relax and feel happy that the symptoms are relatively mild so far. Especially as I'm now chasing round after a 2 year old.
Thank you again!

I'm sorry you're experiencing this too. It's not a nice feeling. My nausea is now a lot worse and much like it was with my first pregnancy. But I haven't stopped worrying. I had some mild cramping the other night and just started crying. (I'm fine, it passed)
I didn't know how else to describe it other than I just really really want this baby. I am terrified of something happening. Despite the fact that my first pregnancy was very healthy throughout. And I have no reason to think there is anything wrong this time. But I am a lot more anxious for some reason.
