Never expected this!

Hi girls,

So happy to be joining you in the first trimester! I am surprised we conceived so quickly but I have to say I feel sooooo overwhelmed. I am sure that is normal but it was really unexpected. I feel so excited, but so utterly terrified something is going to go wrong or that there is something wrong with my baby and I can't do anything about it!

I have my booking in appointment on the 8th, and all that has been on my mind is the screening tests- such big decisions...

Before I was pregnant I wanted a baby soooo badly and I didnt really think about the emotions I would experience. Don't get me wrong, I feel very maternal and cannot wait to meet my little bub but it's scary isnt it!

We have told family and close friends, it's so hard not to shout it from the rooftops. So much to organise too.... we are in a 1 bed flat so are looking at moving. Plus need to break the news to my boss which should be interesting! lol. My mom is already driving me nuts, she is soooo cute but sometimes I just dont want to talk about everything that needs doing as it's so overwhelming.

Anyway, there is my rant over!!

Will be lovely to chat to you all! xxxxx

Hi Puds

I have my booking in on 8th too! I expect the midwife will be able to give lots of reassurance and answer a million questions but yes, at this stage, it all seems quite crazy.

Within days of my bfp I invested in a couple of really good books so that I can read every day what's happening down there and get advice on the practicalities such as telling the boss, dealing with sickness etc. I find it helps to keep it in perspective and have some element of control, as well as being very exciting to read about how our baby's little body is developing.

We've not told anyone yet. I even sat in front of my hairdresser on thurs and got the usual 'so what have you been up to in the last 7 weeks?' and I had to think hard cos all we've really done is BD and talk babies!

It'll be lovely to chat with you through the journey.... xx

thanks for replying! Yeah I have a ton of books, but it still doesnt help me stop worrying! I know I am prob going to be like this throughout. I just can't wait til first scan so I can see everything is working right. xxx

Since falling pregnant I have been constantly worrying about every tiny possible thing that can go wrong, like it's constantly on my mind! My OH keeps telling me to calm down and stop worrying, but I can't help it.
My booking in appointment is on the 6th, can't wait to get that done as for some reason I think I'll start to feel more relaxed afterwards!

my booking in appointment is the 7th feels early compared to everyone else but apparantly its a new procedure in our surgery and u see the midwife, not sure what to expect tho but hubby is coming with, not told anyone yet and i have ages to wait before I can
