Hi SammyRo
I just thought i would write and let you know i am going through the same thing. I wish i could stop worrying. On Saturday i told my husband i was worried because i no longer "felt pregnant" then Sunday come and i was worrying over the period type cramping (apparently normal). It was only a week ago that we had an ultrasound and seen our little ones heartbeat, however here i am 7 days later stressing again. I think i am worrying because our next scan isnt for another 4 weeks and i worry that i wont know what is happening for that long.
I too have been trying to avoid the miscarriage stories but have found myself reading a few. I am going to try to stay away from those though. Your husband is right, you are doing what you can and not putting your baby in any harm so the rest is up to nature.
When i mentioned to a friend how i was worried she said "welcome to motherhood, you worry when you are pregnant, you worry when they are born and you worry when they are teenagers". I guess she is right, it probably explains the constant worrying my Mum does "go to the doctor if that cough gets worse, make sure you lock the car doors when driving, you must eat breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day".
I guess now we are on the road to motherhood, we will need to take the worrying with all the happy times ahead. I hope my rant has helped a little, at least knowing you arent the only worry wart out there might make you feel a bit better, reading your post made me feel a bit more normal.
Take care and i am sure your little bubba is doing great.
