I'm appox 4 wk 1 day and am having a hard time not feeling somewhat on edge about it. I know that whether the pregnancy is viable has already been determined by the genetic makeup of the embryo and there's nothing I can do, but it's hard not to obsess over symptoms (or lack thereof) and just generally worry about viability. Any tips or tricks for relaxing during early pregnancy, or just taking my mind off of it?

Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now. It can feel a bit cheesy sometimes, but it really did help me.

I just tried to take everything day by day. I def obsessed more than I should've but it's hard not to. I got betas done which helped. Congrats and hope you have a happy/healthy 9 months!

I have felt pretty nervous in the first tri since my losses (before DD). The today i'm pregnant mantra helps. As does a scan after my loss times to reassure me things are still going ok. The due date boards provide some comfort of people going through the same things at the same time. I wouldn't put too much stock in symptoms as they change so much from day to day an don't indicate a viable pregnancy. If you thought the TWW was bad.. the 40ww is worse

Congratulations!!!
I don't know if you are religious, but writing my worries to God and praying helped me ALOT when I was pg with DD!!!!! -
