its a good question because you cant have a glass of wine or a beer to take the edge off. if you do get mega stressed tale a panadene forte to RELAX only have it at night make sure you talk to your partner about what stresses you and be open! what is stressing you out?

I guess I'm just really scared about going to my appointment and not hearing a heartbeat. I had a miscarriage in may and that's what happened. I'm constantly getting this butterfly feeling in my stomach just thinking about it..

you need to do things to relax the mind. be open minded and try new things, why not read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne its about positive thinking and attracting good into your life, listen online to relaxation meditation music for at least 10 minutes a day. im looking for some things for stress too im going to take up swimming i find that very relaxing. once you hear your babys heartbeat you will have a big relief and be able to enjoy your pregnancy, good luck with it all :) xx

I'm definitely going to buy that book lol thank you! I can't wait till my first appointment already.

I like the quote from Michael J Fox. It helps me with my worrying.

â??Donâ??t spend a lot of time imagining worst-case scenario. It rarely goes down as you imagine it will, and if by some fluke it does, you will have lived it twice.â??

That being said - I do have do take a few deep breaths everytime I go for an ultrasound - because of my history I find them stressful as well. So much so, that I refuse to go for an ultrasound alone :-)

I hope you have a successful ultrasound. All the best :-)
