Hi all - I recently learned that I’m pregnant after trying to conceive for 6 months. I’m still 13DPO, and my lines are super faint, so this is extremely fresh news and my HCG result from yesterday was only 29. I understand it’s super early and anything can happen/it may not turn out to be viable so I’m not yet celebrating, but I need some advice from any moms in this group. How do you or did you keep yourself from spiraling? I am already freaking out and sooo anxious about nausea even though physically it’s not possible (or would be VERY uncommon) if I had it at this stage. My mom threw up a lot when she was pregnant with me and I know it’s hereditary, though my sister’s pregnancy was perfect and she only had mild fatigue/fullness but almost no nausea and definitely never vomited. I have friends who never vomited and they faced pregnancy with this positive mindset of “nothing will change.” I feel like I’m “doomed” because I’m already so scared and so terrified and seeking reassurance from chatgpt and my sister/mom/pregnant friends constantly. I’ve managed 26 years without ever vomiting (I’m 32 now), and I can’t even be happy about my pregnancy because I am so scared (so feeling extra guilty). Any advice from people who have gone through this or are currently going through this most welcome!!! 🙏
