[KHTW]

This is all normal, really. And it will probably last until... well... the kid moves out or maybe longer xx

Thanks ladies I know I need to relax, I've been in panic mode ever since BFP. I'm happy, but think I'm letting worry overpower me! x

How old are you JR? I'm not feeling this way but at almost 39, have very much learned that worry doesn't help. I know a lot more than I did when I was younger and the biggest part of that is knowing that I'll never know it all, but it will work out.

Try not to think about anything at the moment apart from you and your oh and enjoying this time. In a couple of weeks, you can start buying books and getting down to it. Right now...remember that you're not alone, we're all in this together and all here for each other xxx

I'm 23 (young I know!)
But I think the main reason I'm worrying so much is because of my job. I'm a medical secretary, I've worked in Obs & Gynae for 4 years and now work in a GP surgery. I've seen absolutely EVERYTHING that could happen during pregnancy, I think I know too much about what can go wrong xx

It's just a number, doesn't mean you're not more mature than some 32yr olds, lol. The crap I'd been through by 23, I felt like a 50yr old, but I have changed over the years.

I have loads of nurses and consultants in my family and my cousin is a sister on a premature intensive care unit so I won't be saying anything to family for ages yet...she seems to love scaring people and it won't scare me now, but I know I've lost the ability not to tell her to shut the hell up, lol.

Honestly, as frustrating as it is, we really can't control what might happen, but...use your experience to put a new spin on it. You know more than most what utterly amazing resources we have to help mums to be when things don't go to plan. Xxx

I am definitely much older than my years, which I am grateful for, but also hate it as I never let my hair down!!

Yeah that's a good idea, I will try and look at it in a new light, everything is just seeming so scary right now xx

Scary is good...it means you have something worth being scared for. Xxx

[Shanivy]

Congratulations on no 4 Enya! My edd for baby no 2 is also July 2nd lol. Welcome ! Xx

 

[JemRose]

Just need to rant!!

Near enough having a breakdown because OH must have left his phone at home today, nonetheless I'm still ringing it like a crazy woman!! I have my doctor's appointment at 5pm today (the time I usually pick him up from work) I want him to come with me or at least know that it's happening, but can't get hold of him. Also if I don't pick him up from work he'll panic because I'm not there.

I'm almost crying, I'm angry, I'm stressed. I'm so annoyed at him for not taking his phone, it's even more important now that I can get hold of him!!!!

I know the first doctors appointment isn't really important, but I would have preferred him to come with me so now I'm upset about that, he's already missing something just because he doesn't have his stupid phone!!! ahhh I'm going crazy lol.

sorry ladies, just needed to ferociously type it out and then hopefully get over it haha x

Completely normal hun, your baby is going to be the most loved person in your entire life so worrying about pregnancy is part of it. Especially with no 1. My 1st pregnancy wascomplicated and the panic made me miss out on a lot of enjoyment, which I regret because she was born perfectly healthy.

Once you get your scan then you should relax a bit and start enjoying it more. Try not to let worry take over your enjoyment. You're pregnant!!

 

[Shanivy]

Jemrose just typed a big message to you lol right before you posted. Does it help that not much happens the first time? Probably not but also men are dicks?

 

[JemRose]

haha Shanivy I'm gonna cling to the men are dicks part of that message!! Lol I know nothing will happen so not important, he's just annoyed me so much - what if something happened!! Well all I know is I will be drilling it into him tonight about how important it is that I can get hold of him, I feel sorry for him already lol hopefully I'll have calmed down by then x

 

[Shepherdess]

congratulations to the new arrivals! lovely to see so many July mummies now, how exciting

apart from bouts of ibs I'm pretty symptom free atm, I can tell when it's getting near lunchtime as I get a wave of nausea but as soon as I start eating its gone, I've bought myself some nuts and olives to try having a mid morning snack to see if that keeps it at bay

this is such a weird stage of pregnancy, you know youre pregnant but still forget, the farmers market was on today and I was having a good look at the game meat and started thinking "ooh yes this year I think I'll make a pheasant pate for the started on boxing day" only to remember I won't be able to eat that, Damn it! Haha it'll have to be smoked salmon

I also nearly booked to take my little girl to a trampoline park but again remembered this tiny thing inside me, I'm a bit gutted about that we lovettrampolining but looks like it'll have to be a daddy daughter thing now

can you not ring his work? it's quite important I would say. my husband would go mad if I left him stranded

I managed to get hold of a work colleague of his and asked them to let him know I can't pick him up as got doctors. - but I didn't really want to expand on it as felt bad enough asking him to pass information over lol. So at least he knows I'm not picking him up, but still annoying that he can't come with me!

I'm glad you got through anyway, it's a shame he can't be there, but honestly I'm sure once you've had the appointment you won't mind that he missed it

 

[Katybaby87]

Hi ladies! I still feel so nervous moving over here, I'm 13dpo (c. 4 weeks) and I got my BFP yesterday! I've had real trouble sleeping for the past 7-10 days, a constant headache, sore bbs, and lots of cm. today I feel a bit nauseous but I think it's just excitement and nerves!

ive been told I have to wait 3 weeks to see the midwife to confirm the pregnancy which feels like ages away!

Hey Shepherdess I totally agree this is the weirdest part of pregnancy. Finding it more strange the second time around. It took me a minute this morning to remember oh that's right I'm pregnant. And I love pate too haha. Christmas is not a good time to be watching what you eat lol.

Aw and I bet your little girl will love daddy daughter time. We have this sort indoor funfair to go to Sunday with the in laws and my daughter. Haven't told anyone but my mum yet (because I couldn't keep it from her for three seconds) And also the MIL cant keep anything secret and I've had a loss before. I'm going to have to be like "oh not feeling well/my backs sore/no you go ahead" or they'll wonder why I'm being boring lol.
