Tenar as you've probably gathered from our belly buddies group, I'm a bit of a worrier too!

We had alot of trouble conceiving our daughter and after 2 years we were very thrilled that the fertility treatment finally worked. Then my SIL made a comment early on that we shouldnt get too excited until we passed the 12 weeks mark. Well that completely set me off and all I could think about for the rest of the pregnancy was what could go wrong! Thankfully everything worked out well but the worry was always in the back of my mind and its completely normal to feel this way, especially when you read or hear of so many things going wrong.

This time, as you know, my HCG is on the lower end of the scale so once again I'm a bit worry wort!

I only have 1 suggestion for you.... Read as much as you can about the pregnancy journey itself. Read about the milestones, about the development of your baby, about what to expect physically and emotionally etc BUT DO NOT read about the negative side, dont read about what can go wrong! It'll only make you stress and worry and the the best thing you can do for youself and your baby is to remain positive about the whole experience!

Although alot of ppl say that the doppler is great, I personally wouldnt get one. Depending on what position your baby is in, and the position of your placenta, you may not always be able to find a heartbeat easily (especially early on in the pregnancy) and that is only going to worry you even more. I have a few friends that bought one and they at times were sure something had happened to their babies because they couldnt find a clear heartbeat. I'd say leave that part up to your OB or midwife - they know what they're doing!!

I hope you're feeling a little better about it all and I'm sure you'll enjoyi every minute of this wonderous journey
