Finding it hard to accept I'm here....

[a1b2c3]

I will be 9 weeks pregnant on Saturday, and I'm still finding it hard to accept.

My dh and I had been ttc for 17 months. I started chlomid and got my first ever BFP on my first cycle.

Both my dh and I are really excited, but it kind of doesn't seem real. I've suffered from quite bad morning sickness, severe boob ache, diarrhea, fatigue, all of it, so I know I must be.... but it just feels like it's a dream.

When will it sink in? Does anyone else feel like this?

meeeee!! i felt so normal for two days that i wondered if i had imagined the last few weeks. then i got so violently sick that it splashed into my face and thought hmm thanks for the wake up call baby! lol x

Firstly congratulations!!! I know how you feel. Its an amazing but overwhelming time so dont worry that you feel a bit different than you expected to....I know what you mean about not quite believing you're here, I cant either! Am keeping clear blue in business by retesting constantly!! x x

Yeh it didn't sink in for me until I had a reassurance scan and then thought ok I must be pregnant and then at my 12w scan I defo knew I was as it was amazing seeing baby look so real, so maybe like myself you need to see your baby to actually believe it. Xxxxxx good luck, hope u feel better soon, I'm only getting over the worst of it myself, I've been terribly sick everyday. For wanting a baby so much, I've never complained so much in my life lol xx

hey, i feel exactly the same - in fact i still don't feel excited as it doesn't seem real. i think once the 12 week scan comes along everything will fall into place for me - so i'll bet its the same for you to....

its getting to the point where i'm desperately looking for a belly bump in the morn to make it all seem abit like its actually happening lol...


any way congrats me dear.... all will be fabulous for you

Congratulations! DH and I tried for 2 yrs before we conceived with IVF #2, so I totally understand how u feel. I didn't get bad ms or anything and had like 3 scans by the time I was 12 wks along and I still was in disbelief. I think it became more real when the baby started moving. This time around I was in complete disbelief at it was a natural surprise...I still think I'm dreaming sometimes but we've had 1 scan and heard the HB at almost 12 weeks so all well. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and congratulations again!

Firstly...congratulations on your BFP

I am 6 week 4 days and I feel exactly the same! I got my bfp just before starting clomid after 2 years TTC with very irregular cycles and the news definitely hasn't sunk in yet! I'm guessing it will sink in properly after my 12 week scan.

Good luck and congrats again! Xx

thanks ladies. I have actually had 2 scans already (as I had a bit of bleeding between christmas and new year), and in the last one, the sonographer said she saw a heartbeat.

It was exciting at the time... but now i've come away i just think 'was she looking at the right belly?' I know that's a stupid thing to say, as it was only my dh and I in the room, but it kind of feels like someone is playing a twisted joke on me and that they are just going to turn around adn take it away.

I know that probably makes no sense, but I'm just feeling a bit confused at the moment. I just want to feel 'pregnant'. I have my 12 week scan on feb 9th, and I'm really hoping everything is ok. Like some of you have said.... maybe that's when it will hit me. I just want everythign to be ok.

Aww I know how it is, well I was trying for 6 months so not quite that long.. but I don't think I will be able to believe it til I see a scan which isn't for another 7 weeks
