I have kind of avoided this part of the forum but I’m not quite sure why! Does anyone else feel strangely detached from their pregnancy? I keep poas and they’re darker all the time, I saw a 3+ on a Clearblue digi earlier too but it just isn’t sinking in. We properly tried to conceive before and it took 18 months and a load of really early losses to get our beautiful little boy, whereas this time it just kind of happened. We weren’t trying. We are both really happy, it just doesn’t feel real. We went through a load of stress last year when I was pregnant and it really spoiled it for us, perhaps that’s why. I am kind of expecting something stressful to happen.
Anyway, got our 12 week scan appointment through today and when I did the self-referral I text my old midwife who said she’d be happy to be my midwife again, so that’s good. Pleased I don’t have to get to know someone else, I really liked her.
Also something I’m pretty pleased about is last time I was on diazepam for anxiety and struggling to come off it; I eventually did manage to completely come off it the day Castiel arrived, and haven’t touched a singly speck of a pill since at the moment I bake and crochet to help anxiety. And when it gets really severe, I make myself pick the baby up and play with him or feed him or talk to him... really helps.
I do think I will be consultant led though, because I am now overweight
