I got my results back, I'm a little over 2 months pregnant, they did an ultra sound and took pictures as well as did blood work...they said everything is perfect. So, what does this mean, it's so early. I just worry so much about everything because pretty much the doctors scare you and say everything is a bad sign. So I'm sitting here thinking I'm going to have problems w/ my baby because everything seems wrong, but then my results come back just perfect...why are do doctors and websites make you think your going crazy and your pregnancy is all wrong...??? I mean, my friend had her period the first month and had spotting the next few months and was fine, most of them never had nausea, one was dizzy after 2months. Then I look at all the warning signs and they say a lot of these are bad...

Telling you not to worry isn't going to help. Through my own personal experience, you can't help but worry, even when rational thought and logic tell you there's no reason to worry. Then again, not worrying at all and being blindsided by something bad when you're pregnant is no picnic either. Trust me. The only thing we CAN tell you is that worrying doesn't make things any better. It WILL cause you to be overly stressed if you let it, and stress really can have damaging effects. Don't do things that will cause you to think you may have harmed the baby, and take it easy now. This is the one time in your life when it's perfectly acceptable (and preferable, really) for you to take it easy and not push yourself to exhaustion. If everything is going well for you now, enjoy it. You've got one more month of the worrying until the 2nd trimester. From what I hear, it's the best of the three trimesters. Practically worry-free. :) Keep yourself and your baby healthy and safe. God bless you both, and best wishes!

Okay, first of all... it's going to be a LONG 9 months if you don't relax a little bit. You are only pregnant for the first time once, so try to enjoy some of this. I totally agree with you that a lot of the information out there is more to scare you to death than make you feel better. I'm 40 and trying to get pregnant, if you really want a fright do a web search for pregnancy after 40! What you have to do is put in all into perspective. Take the information you find useful and ask your doctor about everything else. If your current doctor doesn't seem to be on your team then find one who is. I have a wonderful OB who makes me feel like a human being and not a walking disaster. This is very important.
Bottom line... if the doctors are saying everything is perfect, then believe it and enjoy. The first trimester is pretty rough, but you'll feel better as time goes on.
Good luck and congrats!

If your Dr. says everything is fine, then don't worry about it.
Reading can help you understand things, like how your pregnancy is progressing, but reading too much, or reading information from the wrong websites, etc. can put fear and worry into you.
The best advice you have to go by is your Dr's advice, and if the Dr. says the baby is fine, then the baby is fine. Worrying wouldn't change a thing anyway. What happens will happen, worry will just make you sick with stress.
Spotting is pretty normal, so is dizziness. Not having any symptoms is fine too. Pregnancy varies greatly from woman to woman, and the most important thing pregnant women can remember is that no pregnancy is "textbook".
Just think positively and trust in your Dr. (if you don't care for your Dr. or their opinion, you can always change Dr's).
Congrats and best wishes! Stop worrying and don't cause problems where there aren't any.

Doctors are just covering their a**. Just about every NORMAL symptom that occur in most pregnancies can also be an indication of something bad. Not everyone that bleeds in the beginning is having a miscarriage but many are so they double check. That kind of thing. Of course it usually takes a combination of these symptoms to make a normal situation bad but it sounds like your doctor is just being extra cautious. Checking out normal symptoms so you and he don't have to worry that anything is wrong. Ask more questions with your doctor. If you have to make a list and bring it with you to the appointment so you remember what it is you want to ask. Although at two months...correct me if I'm wrong ladies...I think everyone gets blood work and ultrasound pictures taken. Normal tests to rule out possible common problems.

Buy a copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting".
It is in every bookstore, probably even the second hand ones.
Knowledge will probably help you worry less.
Don't listen to all your friends - just the ones with above average IQ who have total recall and never exaggerate about anything. Do you have any of those?
Most people do have nausea, most do not get 'periods', most do not get dizzy unless they stand up too fast.
Don't worry about symptoms you don't have, just look up or ask your OB about the ones you do.

Stop. Breathe. You are tormenting yourself and what you need to do is expect the BEST, not the worst. Unless you hear otherwise, assume that all is fine with your little one :) Emotional stress can be just as damaging as physical stress, so it is just as important for you to be peaceful and happy as it is for you to eat well and avoid drinking and other things dangerous to pregnant women. Everyone is different, every pregnancy is different and they will all have different symptoms, experiences and children. ENJOY being pregnant and focus yourself on staying positive. You will never get the time in your pregnancy back and there are few more unique and special times for you to experience in life. I have 4 children now and my youngest is already 7, so time truly does and will fly. Enjoy it :)

Chill out. If the doctor says everything is looking good so far, there's no need to worry. Just listen to your doctor and ignore everyone else, especially since every pregnancy is different.

You might want to switch to a doctor whose bedside manner doesn't make you so nervous.
