How do you guys handle the wait before your first ultrasound?
This is my first pregnancy and I also have diagnosed anxiety and OCD (which brings on a looot of health anxiety) but I just can’t stop myself from constantly self examining for any symptom (or lack thereof) in fear that something is wrong.
I am only 5 weeks today and have 25 days until my first ultrasound. At first I was getting blood work regularly and I felt some comfort in seeing the numbers rise. As of now, my provider hasn’t said anything about receiving anymore draws.
So how do you guys stay sane? One of my biggest sources of anxiety right now is I don’t really have a lot of symptoms. I was a tiny bit nauseous the first few days after finding out and I’ve had some light cramping but I woke up today feeling completely normal and I’m spiraling.
Sorry if this is long and ranty… all advice is appreciated!
