So weird...

[coruscating17]

2 things really....
Firstly it's still hard to get my head around there being a little person growing inside me. Even though I've had some symptoms, and in fact felt pretty rough at work this morning, I still can't quite believe I'm pregnant. Just SO nervous about something going wrong that maybe I'm trying not to get my hopes up?
Secondly, a few weeks ago I had no desire to eat and was living in bread...now my appetite has totally reversed and if I don't eat I feel really sick!

Not much point to this post, other than as amazing as pregnany is it's also a little bit crazy!

Can't wait until my 12 weeks scan, then maybe I can finally relax a bit and believe I am actually going to have a baby!

I am exactly the same as you! I know I'm pregnant, but I just can't believe it and I'm petrified that something is going to go wrong.

I'm trying my best to push those feelings aside, DH is so positive about this and I'm trying to take inspiration from him, but its not always easy.

Try to enjoy being pregnant, there's nothing you can do from now so you might as well enjoy it and hope for the best xx

Me too! tbh i keep expecting something to go wrong as then i will go back to being a person who isn't pregnant which i'm so much more used to !! ive told my mum and sister now though so at least i have some people to talk to who've been through it before. i fear for my poor bf's sanity otherwise as i am basiclly either in total denial that its happening or weeping all over him/shouting at him for not understanding why i am now mental!!! i have taken to saying things like 'IM TIRED BECAUSE IM GROWING *YOUR* CHILD!'. i think he will get pretty sick of hearing that before long lol.

at least there are places like this where we can feel nervous and weird together

Absolutely! My OH has told me I've been more moody and hormonal than usual, which he understands....but I don't think I have been haha!!
I had a mc in September so keep expecting something bad to happen again, but hoping so much that it doesn't. Have no reason to think it's not OK this time but still scary. I keep getting told to be positive, which I am trying to be, but I guess other people can't always understand how nervous it makes me. At least on here people understand!! I really do have to stop overanalysing every symptom I have though!
Are you feeling happier about being pregnant now pinkjumper??

I can completely releate.... feeling so happy that I am pregnant but petrified that something is going to go wrong.... still have not told anyone yet. My parent's and hubby's parents are coming over tomorrow for dinner so we plan to tell them then.... worrying that it is too soon but really want my mum to know so when we speak (pretty much everyday) I don't have to keep biting my lip so that I don't just blurt it out!!

Cannot wait until our scan so we can see baba and then I hope I will actually believe there is a baby inside me.

Just pleased that I already love this little thing so much and so thankfull that I can be such a big part of it all!!

We told our parents this last weekend as we would tell them if anything went wrong too like we did last time. Not telling too many other people until after 12 weeks scan though. I paid for private scan at just over 6 weeks because I was so nervous after mc and saw the little heartbeat But it hasn't really stopped me worrying as I still find it hard to believe there's actually a baby inside me! This first trimester is such a worrying time and seems to drag! I think if I hadn't had mc I'd be planning loads and buying baby books etc, but I just can't bring myself to do that until I know everything is OK at 12 weeks..then I may let myself believe it's real!xx

im nearly 14 weeks and still scared to tell people, am i being silly x

 

[coruscating17]

I don't think you're being 'silly' but I think there comes a time that you just have to trust your body. Ultimately until the baby is born none of us can be 100% sure everything is going to be OK, but the chances are that after a 12 week scan things will be fine and maybe by telling people it'll share the good news and make you less worried. That's what I hope after my 12 weeks scan anyway!!x

 

[Loula]

yeah it feels better now people know, such a relief and the amount of support is unreal, well im slowly telling people and have also now posted it on my fb account, so many people do it earlier but i think its silly, and i know bubs is ok having had my scan so fx

Youll love your scan youll be mesmerised xxx

 

[coruscating17]

I really can't wait! Don't have a date yet but I know it won't be until the New Year, so just got to enjoy Christmas with the family and keep everything crossed that the scan is perfect I guess as the weeks go by I am feeling more hopeful, but can't imagine I'll be any less worried further on in the pregnancy! I always see pregnant women and think how chilled out they look but I can only imagine they're as nervous and mad as all of us!! x

 

[Loula]

yeah i bet they are, im soo paranoid bout every little thing and everyone just says the joys of being a mum lol, x

Ummmmm sometimes??

i've had a better couple of days, although i'm also 'feeling' less pregnant, so sort of slightly easier to just be in denial lol.

im definitely also looking forward to the 12week scan, just to know either way if everything's 'normal' etc.
