Brief Answer:
Tell yourself that you are doing fine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
The fear of being ill in itself is an illness. That is what the main problem is at this time. I will suggest that you say it to yourself as often as possible that all is fine. it is all about you believing that all is well as the doctors say. Forget this feeling of being sick. I am sure you are okay and you have to believe this. All is okay and what you had Is normal and normally resolves after pregnancy.
in all, repeat to yourself and believe that all is normal and you are not sick. this will be of great help.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to ask for mom information and clarifications if need be.
