I work at a candy shop.. was nibbling on chocolate all last night during my shift. that needs to STOP as I've already noticed I'm bloating a bit haha (never happens during af, so I can definitely feel it now). I'll have to start bringing a handful of healthy snacks with me.
I'm pretty much eating anything though.. i'm hungry all the time. nervous about gaining a lot of weight!

Hey ladies. Haven't been on here for a few days as have been letting it all sink in. I really need some advice though...

I'm making myself ill with worry. I know it's normal to worry about miscarriage in first trimester, but I think my anxiety levels are out of control. I can't stop myself from buying tests and agonizing over whether the line is getting darker. I'm spending hours and hours googling miscarriage stats and reading posts from the poor ladies that have had them. I feel like I'm going to go insane.

I thought going to the doctor would help, but she didn't even do a urine or blood test to confirm. I don't get to see the midwife until 8 weeks (i'm only 4+2 now) and even then, I don't think they actually do anything to confirm, like a scan, or listen to heartbeat.

I can't go on like this for another 2 months waiting for the first scan. I'm terrified I'll get there and they won't see a baby. I know these are all normal fears to have, but it's taking over my life. I can't concentrate at work at all. I don't have many (if any) symptoms which isn't helping the worry.

I found out my SIL is also pregnant and we're due the same day, which is the most amazing news ever. She's so calm and happy, I wish I could be the same. We knew we were both trying and were hoping so much to get pregnant the same month, but conceiving on the same day (we both got pos opk the same day!) feels like winning the lottery TWICE. Now I feel like for us both to have good outcomes will be like needing to win the lottery a third time... impossible.

What's wrong with me? I'm desperate for some advice I'm extremely lucky to be pregnant, so I feel awful that I'm not enjoying it.

Hi everyone, I found out yesterday at 12 dpo and I already have very strong lines many people in the pregnancy test section think its twins Im due 8th July. Im excited, I'm due for my 6 week scan in just over a week because of a previous ectopic but so far I feel so much better then last time, so hopefully all is well.

I feel exactly the same about mc and scans etc.
the only thing stopping me thinking about it all the time is my toddler keeping me busy otherwise I'd be going mad!
Maybe try and keep busy? I know 1st tri is hard!

That sounds rubbish MrsMcP - so sorry you feel this way

Have you spoken to your doc about how you feel? Perhaps they could refer you to a counselor so you can talk about your worries? I've had non-pregnancy-related anxiety before and its horrible. I didn't get help for it and it was awful. I wouldn't want you to go down that road.

Other than that I'm sure other ladies (and me!) are around for you to talk to to help alleviate the fear!

You won't have many symptoms just yet and some people don't get them for quite a while, so don't worry!

Maybe try to keep yourself busy as much as you can - it will help the time go faster and take your mind off things. Also - DON'T GOOGLE! It scared the sh*t out of me and made me freak out - its not worth it! xx

MrsMcP:
It is not abnormal to worry about having a miscarriage at all. Im pretty sure everyone does. I totally googled stats etc. and did the whole symptom thing. maybe your SIL just naturally calm. The important thing is to get control over the anxiety now before it gets out of hand. Believe me, once you get over this hump there will be a ton of other things to constantly worry about. You are going to have a baby, and the things to worry about are endless as children grow.

Maybe you will always have to be considerate about putting yourself in a relaxing environment. When i was TTC'ing the first time, everytime i worried about not getting pregnant i thought of a song in my head. I also found yoga helped (im totally not the hippy kind either!)

 

[MrsMcP]

Thanks ladies. I do really appreciate your understanding and advice. I'm trying so hard to relax. I'm thinking about going to the doctor and being honest about how I feel, but we'll see.

I'm also thinking about paying for a private early scan at about 7-8 weeks. Do you think that's a good idea or not? They're not as expensive as I thought they'd be and DH seems to think it might be a good idea if it might put my mind at rest. Is 7 weeks too early to do it? I know a lot of ladies say that 6 weeks is a little early xxx

Hi, I am doing this if I'm not given an early scan by Doctor.

There's a baby vision near me and it's £75, which I think is a bargain

I think if it will put your mind at ease the cost is not important. Xx

Hi everyone, after some help. I am a few days late for af and I am wondering, what did your cm look like when you were first pregnant? I haven't had much but today I have some cm with a hint of yellow in it. Do you think this is me away to get af or has anyone when pregnant had this. I am never late.

Only way to know is test! But got BFP on Sunday. Since then I've had a fair bit of creamy cm (maybe slightly yellow?) Good luck x

Salads! And more salads. And ice cold water. This is my first pregnancy and needless to say I'm so excited these are my cravings so far! And ginger ale has never tasted as good.
