Those numbers look really good! I hope your viability scan goes well :flower:


is anyone else getting week envy on the pregnancy board? I remember getting it with lo too :haha: every week wishing I was a week ahead!
 
haha I remember reading about week envy when I was pregnant with my son. I'm not getting week envy as such, i just wish someone could tell me that all would be ok so that I could actually relax and enjoy it.

Providing all goes well, this is likely to be my last pregnancy, so I want to savour every moment of it (lol, I might not be saying this in a few weeks when more symptoms kick in). I have my booking appointment with my GP on 30 October so might feel a little more real after that.

I'm holding off telling my family just yet, I want to keep it as my secret for just a while longer so I think the fact that really only me and my husband (and one close friend) knows, it doesnt really feel real or something!!!
 
Good luck ashleyg!

Welcome vaniilla. i get week envy but i think it's down to me having had a loss, i think "i should have been that now" or "I should have been having my scan this week" etc. I didn't have it with my first.

.I had a bit of nausea on Saturday, but nothing since. i can't help having a bad feeling, every time i go to the toilet i'm expecting to see spotting. I've told my LG I can't carry her any more funny, gosh she's getting heavy!
 
This will probably be our last too - I just want to get to a stage where the chance of another miscarriage is low. I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to contact the GP surgery until after 6 weeks. :dohh:
 
I have week envy! My best friend is 6 weeks ahead of me and I'm so jealous that she's seen her baby already! I'm so happy we are pregnant together though, we were TTC together and she thought she'd have loads if problems as she has pcos and other issues, whereas I got pregnant with my son by accident... Well she conceived straight off the pill and it took me 6 cycles!
 
I have week envy, it seems to be going really slowly! Only 5 days since I found out. Then again I know for a fact in a few months I'll be commenting on how it's flown :haha: I love it being our secret as well, I hate all the attention you get when you announce, I love my privacy lol.

I'm not sure if this will be our last. I'm glad the age gap isn't too huge as that will make me feel better if we do just stick with 2. I'm definitely keeping an open mind about a third at some point in the future.
 
Can I ask if anyone suffers anxiety? I really suffer with anxiety around anything health wise or any variations of normal for me. I am absolutley petrified of giving birth again, like I can't even get excited about being pregnant because everytime I feel excitement, within a split second I feel anxiety rise up and realise I have to give birth.

I am also insanely terrified I will get depression, either during or after birth. I think of all these stupid what if scenarios, like what if I dnt love my kids anymore, what if I want to kill myself, what if I feel like I can't cope and have a mental breakdown...

It's so overwhelming at times. :(

:hugs: :hugs: I have anxiety, and had anxiety and depression in my previous pregnancy. I had CBT last time, I'd been on a waiting list since before I found out but it was helpful. It's not birth that scares me but I'm very scared of hyperemesis, as last time was horrible. I'm also scared of my relationship breaking down, we really struggled and fought during pregnancy and the newborn days and I felt so unsupported. But after counselling we've been great, we got married and he's a fantastic dad. But I'm still scared.
 
Re the anxiety, yes, I suffer badly from anxiety. I had a very traumatic labour with my son and before even thinking about TTC#2 I started an 8 week counselling programme and I am also attending a mindfulness class.

i have to say that it has been a massive help to me. My anxiety is no where near what it was and the intrusive and negative thoughts that plagued me in the past (re the labour etc) have really been tamed by the mindfulness.
 
Hope you have a good scan Ashleyg!

I already feel like it's dragging, I found out at 9dpo which I now think is just too early to find out - I've known for a full fortnight yet I'm not even 6 weeks yet and I don't even have symptoms!
:dohh:

I haven't rung a dr or midwife yet either. Think I might book with the midwife around 8 weeks
 
I have been sent a group appointment? For Friday when I'll be 7+2. I didn't have one last time, does anyone know what it's about? Then my booking appointment is a week tomorrow at exactly 8 weeks.
 
Kar I have bad anxiety as well. Did you have a traumatic first birth Hun?
 
Karlilay- I suffer anxiety so can totally relate, I had a traumatic birth last time and feel worried about doing it again. At one point before ttc I even thought I'd want to opt for a planned section then face the unknown. After I had my son I also suffered with uncontrollable OCD which made life so miserable but I now have it under control thanks to a lot of CBT. I'd mention to your gp or midwife about your anxieties and fears of birth as honestly as possible, there's support you can get. And sounds like a lot of us have been there so don't hesitate to talk whenever you want :hugs: x
 
Last pregnancy I had bad week envy... this time not so much, at least not yet. It's so weird this time. Having my 18 month old seems to keep me so distracted from the fact that I am pregnant. Last time I thought about my pregnancy 24/7 and this time I keep almost forgetting! lol I do want to enjoy every minute this time because I also think this will be my last. I have always wanted 2 kids.
 
Thankyou so much everyone. Just hearing that I'm not the only one with anxieties images me feel 100% better. That's why I haven't posted so much in here because I don't feel too much of a bond yet because of the anxiety.

I didnt have a bad birth, I got to the hospital both times at 10cm, and pushed and had them with no pain relief, but I just hate the feeling of pushing, with Zach I was trying to push him back in :haha:
Both time were just so different to how I expected, I really wanted and epidural both times, and there just wasn't time. When Madi was born, I resented her for the pain. I couldn't beleive how much it hurt and it traumatised me I think. I wasn't so bad with Zach but I had SPD and I wanted to labour standing up because it was literally the only position my hips felt like they weren't crunching, but I was told I couldn't, and I was made to get on the bed, which I hated and I screamed all the way though.

I would take a section in a split second if they asked me. I see my midwife 3rd Nob for the first time, I'll be sure to tell her. I used to have councilling for my anxiety, so I might just asked to be referred back to him.

Sounds like a 'preparing for pregnancy' or 'early bird' meeting - basically where they sit you all down and go through the risks of things like drinking and smoking in pregnancy and which foods to avoid etc. They don't usually make people do it when they've had a baby before!

I opted out of that one with freddie
