Hello Ladies
I hope you all are well?
Was hoping there might be someone here who can help me with some stupid thoughts I've been having.
I'm 26 and pregnant with my husband and I's first child (9 weeks and 4 days at the moment) And i have my scan booked in for the 3rd of January - where I think they're doing the Nuchal scan at the same time.
My problem is is that I have not really once felt pregnant and so found it incredibly hard to believe that I am / still am? I have only really experienced tiredness, gagging (without nausea), mild cramping and needing the rest room a bit more (but this varies).
I've already had a private scan done at 7 weeks to reassure myself and saw the heart beating and it was confirmed there was one baby and all where it should be - it was amazing But i then have made the classic mistake of reading far too much on google and now have seen all sorts of scary stories about MMC's and stuff like that.
There is no reason why this pregnancy should not be successful, I'm young, been taking my prenatal vitamins, and folic acid like clockwork, keeping an eye on caffeine etc, but have just somehow worked myself into such a state over things potentially happening that I have almost convinced myself the worst case is going to happen? Which is silly, as there's no reason to - there's been no bleeding or anything.
I've always been a worrier, but this has been silly even by my standards!
Think I've turned into a right head case haha (My poor Husband ) , just wondered if anyone else had had similar moments and what they did to calm themselves down?
Thanking you in advance
Hope you all are good and looking forward to Christmas! : )
