Are you an emotional wreck too?

[WeeSal]

I'm usually a really calm, rational person but since my BFP I seem to have turned into an emotional wreck.

I'm 5weeks+5 and instead of trying to enjoy this pregnancy all I can think of is what might go wrong. My last pregnancy ended with mmc at 11 weeks, discovered at my first scan. I guess I was so innocent then, I had never even heard of mmc.

I just wish I felt more pregnant, my only symptoms are very mild and intermittent nausea, slightly sore boobs and tiredness. My husband tells me I'm also having mood swings but of course I don't believe him!

Does everyone feel like this or am I just going quietly crazy all on my own?

I could have wrote your post x even my symptoms are same as yours x lol my hubby was moaning this morning an when I snapped at him he said you were like this the last time you were pregnant! (with our dd) lol I'm sure it was him being nippy not me! I also had a mmc and had never heard of them before I even had bad sickness right up to 12wks an baby had stopped growing at 6wks x so even symptoms not that reassuring to me x I'm getting an early scan on 20th x any chance you can get one for reassurance x it's sad our innocence has gone xxx

Thanks for replying Mrskg, it's so good to know someone understands!

I haven't seen my GP yet, trying to get an appointment at this time of year is like trying to find hens teeth. I'm pretty sure once I am in the system we will be able to get an early scan, they did tell us that we would next time we were pregnant. Our local EPU was by in large pretty good.

I am sure that, just like myself, you are never nippy with your husband, I believe this mood swings nonsense is all in their heads!

I wish you well for the rest of your pregnancy and look forward to hearing how well it is all going xx

 

[Mrskg]

I def understand never think you are alone xxx

Don't know how your epu works but over here I just contacted them myself an they gave me an app you don't need a doc referral x

Lol yes I agree its definitely nonsense in their heads! X

Thank you only 18 more days till I know either way can't come quick enough x I'm sure we'll get our rainbow babies this time x we're only 2days apart looking forward to being in this journey with you xxx

 

[WeeSal]

Be sure to let me know how the scan goes, will be keeping everything crossed for you.

I need a referal for our EPU but I'm pretty sure they will fit us in fairly quickly, hopefully have our first scan around 8 weeks.

I see you're a Scottish Lass, me too. Been living in Northern Ireland for a couple of years now and miss home loads!

Good luck and keep in touch xx

 

[Mrskg]

I will be 8/4 whenimget my scan wanted to wait till there would be no doubt about seeing anything wish now I'd made it for a wk sooner but hey ho I'm sure it will be the 20th before I know it x

Gl getting your app x

Yeah I'm on the east coast just outside Edinburgh x where are you from x

You are not crazy believe me, being pregnant again after a miscarriage or several miscarriages is one of the most stressful times of your life! I am pregnant for the 3rd time after 2 miscarriages last year and I am a nervous wreck! Every twinge and every 'movement' down there (e.g. discharge, sorry if tmi!) I get scared and have to run to the loo and check for blood.

I don't know if this helps, but I try to tell myself whatever will be will be, and it helps calm me down a bit, and it makes me accept either outcome.

Wishing you a happy and healthy successful pregnancy!

How you all feel is completely normal -- I'm 31wks+ and still check my knickers every time, but I try to take it one day at a time (not easy as now I am worried that something will go wrong in labour -- am having a c-section)!

Just take care of yourself and try to visualise all being well at your first scan -- but you will relax a little once you see the baby on the scan (I went at 9wks and it was so scary, but great....) and even now that he is kicking me, I still worry before a scan!

best wishes

Mrskg I would think 8/4 is a good time for the 1st scan, that way you can be sure you didn't scan too early. It's my plan too. I'm an Ayrshire girl and would come home in a heartbeat if I could. Looking forward to hearing how that scan goes. xx

Thanks Shirlls, its good to know others understand. Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy with a beautiful wee bundle of you at the end of it.

SabrinaKat, good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and c section, not long to go now until you meet your wee star. xx
