4w2d really hate these early first weeks!

Hi everyone!

I absolutely cannot stand these early first few weeks, it seems like time goes so slow and it takes forever to get to 8 weeks.

You'd think I'd be well practiced with this being number 5!!!

With my first ever pregnancy I had a mmc. Went for my scan at 11 weeks to find out baby had died at 8 weeks. I've never relaxed even though that was eight years ago!

I have an early scan booked for 18 Nov (I'll be 6w4d) and I'll prob get a rescan done at 8 weeks or so (past my prev mc stage).

I usually set myself 'mini milestones' to get to every few days to make time pass! Does anyone else have any tips to make time go quicker!?

Wow I know how you feel at 4 weeks it felt like time was creeping by. It gets better. Aim for 6 weeks then 8 etc. congrats xx

I was just thinking the same thing... Ugh. I just wish the next 6 weeks would fly by... At least I have the holidays as a distraction... Every twinge freaks me out... And not having twinges freaks me out! Going through nursing school since my last baby has put me at a huge disadvantage... I just think I "know" too much this time around. :/

Yes, ugh, SOOOOOOO slow. I'm six weeks today. It seems unbelievable that it's only been two weeks since we got the BFP! feels like a month.

Had a MMC in June myself at just past 6 weeks.

I try to focus on little milestones too... but honestly, it doesn't work for me. So far, the only thing I've found that makes time go by.. is time. lol

I also meditate. It keeps me in the moment a bit more sometimes.

Hey, I feel your 'pain'. I'm 4w and 4d today. I found out super early with my son (now 5) and I just think I was so much more naive back then. I remember being worried but also not knowing what I should or shouldn't feel. Now I'm worried if I feel something and worried if I don't feel something. I'm trying to stay positive! I don't even know when I'm going in to see the OB, but I do have prenatal labs tomorrow. Hoping to hear good things about my numbers. That's my first "goal". The time does crawl though!

Best of luck to you!
