Pregnancy Worries and Fears

Pregnancy is such a wonderful and beautiful time, but can also be a worrisome time.

I have been so excited throughout my whole pregnancy so far, while also worrying about every little thing! The list is ongoing.

• What I put on my skin
• Have I put something harmful on my skin?
• Is what I ate for dinner safe?
• Am I drinking enough water?
• What am I going to look like after giving birth?
• Will I have to have a C-Section?
• The epidural needle in back... Scary
• Etc...... lol

Even things that really have nothing to do with my pregnancy. My emotions are so heighten that I feel like I can think straight at times. I am constantly worried about my appearance. I feel like I look so pale and like I've only slept one hour. The dark circles under my eyes are hideous.

I also worry about every random person that sees me out in public that doesn't definitely know I'm pregnant. "Do they think I really bloated or just fat?" I constant worry has cause me to break out in a rash all over my stomach... Although my doctor says it's fine, some people get a rash during pregnancy.

Hoping that I start to feel gorgeous and "glowing" in my pregnant body soon. I'm 18 weeks pregnant right now and hoping once I start to feel the baby move, I will feel a lot better. I'm looking forward to my 20 week anatomy scan as well. Once I see my body is perfectly normal I might be able to breathe a little!
