It doesnt feel real

[Francesca26]

Hi everyone, im new to the forum. After TTC for over 3 years i had given up hope and convinced myself i would never have a baby, so i had the shock of my life when i took a pregnancy test and it was positive! I thought i would feel really happy and excited if it by some miracle ever did happen but it just doesnt feel real and i think ive actually convinced myself that there wont be a baby there come my first scan. I always think the worst and have convinced myself something will go wrong. Im currently 7+4 weeks. Does anyone else feel like this?x

Me and my partner were the same, sadly we lost a baby last september and have been trying ever since but after lots of failed attempts we kind of gave up. I did a test last month and it looked negative so i threw it in the toilet bin only to see it peeking out the next day with a very faint positive line. We couldn't believe it and still wouldn't if it wasn't for my terrible nausea and sickness. We're trying to stay positive and not get up hopes up until we get our first scan, im so worried to what i might see. What im trying to say is i feel like this as do lots of women out there, don't let yourself get too worked up about it im sure everything will be fine.

And congratulations!

I also think your due the same day as me, Jan 1st?

 

[Francesca26]

Yes, my due date is 1st January at the moment. I havent really had any morning sickness, i wish i did then i would probably feel more at ease. I generally feel abit off it, tired and my boobs are growing but thats it. When have you got your first midwife appointment? Congratulations to you too !! X

Oh what i would do to feel like you right now, i feel so nauseous.

I had mine last Tuesday, my doctor got me an appointment early because of the nature of my last miscarriage. Have you seen your doctor yet? If your worried try and see your doctor and ask for a scan or ask to see a midwife sooner. My doctor was really understanding and helpful regarding how i felt and how worried i was about it all. I hope you get your appointment soon to put your mind at rest.

I totally understand how you feel, I have just found out I am pregnant also and it wont sink in. Last month I had a chemical and I allowed myself to be all happy and a couple days after getting my positive I started heavily bleeding and the pregnancy ended. I feel really scared this time round and feel like if I acknowledge that I am pregnant something will go wrong or it will not be real. Wishing I could just be super excited at this time but dont think I will till I get my scan. Think I am 5 weeks now, feeling nauseous and dizzy a lot...need to eat ALL the time! All symptoms I didnt have last month so can only hope its going well this time.

Anyway, just messaging to say you arent the only one feeling like this, and to just message on here if you need to talk! Hopefully we are all the proud owners of healthy, sticky little beans!

And congrats! xx

Congratulations everyone! I'm due jan 1st as well

 

[Francesca26]

Thanks. I suppose 1st January is a due date no-one will forget haha. Stephaniespora: i saw my doctor just after i found out i was pregnant about 3weeks ago, she didnt say much at all to me just that i had to fill in some forms at reception. Thought she would check i was pregnant at least, but no just said modern pregnancy tests are reliable therefore they accept that result. I have my first midwife appointment on monday so will talk through my concerns then. Just abit concerned il see someone i know as i havent told anyone and my cousin works at the centre im going to :/. What does the first appointment involve, do you know?x

 

[Lillyprincess]

Aren't we all so similar.

I posted nearly the same on another forum. I literally feel like a fraud. I am still in denial.

I've had to go on light duties at work due to the nature of my job and on Monday I have to go and tell my line manager why. I feel ridiculous and am dreading work.

Done 7 tests all positive, the latest 2 days ago! Boobs slightly sore and maybe a bit more tired but other than that sweet FA! Lol

I am also convinced that it will go wrong and then I'll have told work for no reason

Xx

 

[Francesca26]

Lillyprincess you pretty much have the same symptoms as me, not many! Congratulations on your pregnancy, i hope all goes well x

 

[Beeble]

Ooh Lillyprincess, what line of work are you in if you don't mind me asking? I don't know what to do with my work you see, I am a carer and I do a lot, there is also a risk of hep b and I am not immunised. I do 24 hr sleep over shifts, working for around 16.5 hours before sleeping, we dont get any designated breaks and there is a lot of moving and handling, personal care and household tasks needing done. I am not sure what I should be doing in regards to pregnancy etc and what is and is not acceptable? There is also a whole heck of a lot of germs in my work place, just caught some kind of chest/throat bug as the people supported are ill with infections I dont want to put pregnancy at risk but at the same time I dont want to be over dramatic and not do my tasks? Any advice would be good? Also - congrats to you! xx

Haha, nope talk about in with a bang! I was the same, my doctor didn't say much and i also found it weird that he never made me take a test. You'll be fine, what type of centre is it? If its not just a midwife centre you could claim your going for a check up or a smear test or something?!
My first appointment was just the midwife asking me a few questions about families health, mine and my partners health and background, questions about daily life like if you smoke, drink etc and she checked my height, weight and made me take a test for sugar and protein to check for diabetes etc. It took around an hour so make time if your busy that day. I hope your first appointment goes well and she puts your mind to rest.

I am a frontline police officer. Due to the nature of my job I have no idea what call will come out next and I can't avoid it. I've had to come off active duty, which I hate! Especially when I feel anything other than pregnant!

 

[becciboo26]

Yep I was exactly the same, I thought that all the way through, yet here she.is!
It's much easier said than done but please try to relax and enjoy, I wish I had! X
