Newbie - so many worries!!!

[curlie]

First wanted to say hi to everyone


Was really hoping my first post wouldnt be such a moan but as no-one other that my bf knows I'm pregnant (just under 6wks) I feel really alone and would love your advice.

I unfortunately suffered 2 m/c's back in 1998 and 2000, both early on around 8-9 wks. After the 2nd one they questioned whether I had a bi-cornate (heart shaped uterus) but this was never confirmed and specialist just told me to keep trying!

So here I am over 7 yrs later (aged 33), pregnant and absolutely terrified. I explained my history to my Dr who has booked me in for my first scan at 10 wks - really sad as hoped it would be sooner.

My other worry is that I'm a student nurse and about to go out on placement in just over a weeks time. My uni dont know about my pg yet, but I'm fretting incase i end up in quite a stressful place i.e mental health setting.

Any advice would be much appreciated...... sorry for babbling on x x

Hi Curly
Congratulations on the pregnancy and welcome to B&B!
I'm afraid I can't offer any advice, but just relax, try and enjoy being pregnant and trust your instinct. If you think you need to chill out and relax (or even do a sickie) then you should - you'll be pleased you did in the long run.
I've got my fingers crossed for you. Keep in touch!

Hi Curlie

Congratulations on your pregnancy pet, totally understand why you would be nervous, have had previous mc at 8/9 weeks too and turns you into a nervous wreck!

My advice would be tell people, a few anyway to reduce stress for you, if the worst happens you will then have support. Even if you just tell key people like your boss or decision maker on your placement so they have to take this into consideration.

Apart from that please try and relax and enjoy being pregnant, you are entitled too!

Hi, firstly I know its easy to say but try not to worry to much. As for uni, Im a student nurse to in my final yr. Im 12 weeks at mo. The best thing you can do is inform the college and speak to the placement team and ask them to place you somewear to suit you being pregnant. Ive found that this worked well for me. Also you'll prob find it easier them knowing as they will be understanding with assisgnments and things. xxx

Aw, try not to worry so much. I know it's awfully hard but try to keep your stress to a minimum and pray that your pregnancy will be a successful journey to a beautiful baby.

congrats! i'm a student nurse too and go on my next placement in april then me being 17 weeks tho, i think u have to tell them ur pregnant cuz they need to do an assessment on the place to see if its actually safe 4u 2 wrk there whilst pregnant, i'd say to do it quite soon if ur starting in a week!
Good luck! x

 

[doctordeesmrs]

I agree with Belle you need to tell someone so your placement can be assessed. Other than that try and relax and enjoy being pregnant(easier said than done i know)

Hello

Welcome to Baby and Bump!

Congrtaulations on your pregnancy, wishing you a very healthy & happy one!

I would tell your Uni asap, keep them in the picture then they will be able to help you as much as possible. x

 

[curlie]

Just wanted to say a BIG BIG thankyou for all of your lovely replies and advice. I'm going to speak to my personal tutor tomorrow about placement so that will be a weight off my mind.

Started to feel really over the past couple of days, infact the only time I dont feel sick is when I'm eating......... I'm going to be like the back end of a bus if I carry on!!!! I'd forgotten how much fun pregnancy can be x x
