Emotions are everywhere...

[SF2018]

Really feeling hormonal today. Sad, worried, paranoid, stressed, anxious. It feels like all the awful emotions have come at once! I'm convinced I won't have a successful pregnancy, that I'll go to my first scan and find I've had a missed miscarriage. I am Googling like there is no tomorrow....

Anyone else feeling like this?!

I think it's because we found out so early. With my daughter, we found out at 5 weeks exactly, and the wait to for the first midwife appointment and dating scan felt like forever.

This time we found out at 3 weeks and 6 days... So the wait is even longer!

I am the same and i was worse before my first scan! There's not much I can say to relive your fears other than just try as hard as you can to enjoy this time. I've got another scan in a week and I'm worried all over again that everything will go wrong! It's totally normal
Get your feet up and treat yourself to something nice to eat and a movie to take your mind off. That's what I'm doing atm

Yes, I feel like that a lot of the time. I think it's hormones. It's horrible waiting. But it's a good sign that you are feeling hormonal!

Glad I am not alone!

I'm generally a pessimist, as my OH likes to remind me of very often!! I always assume the worst. I was the same with my daughter, I was convinced the whole way through my pregnancy and even my induction, that I wouldn't bring a baby home from the hospital (I am extremely aware I am lucky to have had a healthy pregnancy and no history of miscarriages, but three friends lost their babies mid, late and full term when we were expecting, so I was absolutely terrified) and I think I've had the high happy and excited rush of the first week of knowing and now I'm in a 'what if' slump again.

I think I'm going to spend the night in bed with my book and a cuppa (and maybe some chocolate), I think I'll be sobbing all night if not!

Definitely chocolate!!! At the end of the day as you've said and know...something can happen at any time but it is however rare the further you are. Trimester one is a wanky time for hormones and fear!!
We're all in the same boat hun x try to savour this time
