Soooooo confused and nervous

[Natasha Louise]

Hiya,
I have never used a forum before but i really liked the look of this one, I found out i was pregnant April 5th and am currently 6 weeks 3 days Me and my boyfriend were not trying for a baby so it was a bit of a shock especially when were just about to book a holiday to the maldives that week (glad we didn't now lol) anyway now we are both soooooo excited, but the problem is I can't stop worrying about the baby and how its developing, it really is driving me crazy I haven't really got any symptoms apart from sore boobs, which makes me worry even more, When I went to the doctors on the 6th, he worked out my due date which is 5th of December and prescribe me some folic acid and booked me in for my 1st appointment with a midwife which is the 3rd of may when Im 9 weeks gone and my 1st ultrasound has come through and thats the 23rd of May. I just know I am gonna worry until then, so i was thinking of getting an early scan in a private clinic but I phoned them up and they need to know my midwife details before booking me in, but i don't know them because I haven't met her so I can't get one just yet. This is my first baby and I really don't know what should be happening (I had to ask my mum the other day what a contraction was, i'm 24 years old and should really know lol) I probably sound really stupid but i really don't know what to expect, and all I want to know is if the baby is ok but that just seems impossible at the min anyway hope you are all well

OMG you're not stupid! I am pregnant with my 3rd baby and I am still worrying!! My scan isnt until the 23rd May either (freaky) which means I have another 4 weeks of worry. I checked about having an early scan but quite pricey. But your choice if you want one. Its normal to worry but as long as you're looking after yourself etc just try and relax (easier said than done I know). Just know u are defo not alone first baby or not xx

aww thanks i have checked out the prices of early scans and I can only find one clinic in Milton Keynes and they charge £100 which obviously is a lot of money at this moment in time, My boyfriend says that I am just being silly and everything is fine but he hasnt got a clue what im going through and how I'm feeling, so sometimes i just feel like I am on my own but I know most pregnant women go through the worry xxxx

Hi Natalie.

I was just about to book a holiday too before my bfp and we decided to do a last minute deal instead. Good job we didnt. I was exactly the same. Ive been worrying myself sick so Ive just hit 8 weeks and had my first mw appointment so Ive booked a private scan on Sunday £65 including 2 photos.

Hi Natasha,

I wanted to message you and give you some reassurance. I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks. Apart from the odd occasion of sore breasts I didn't feel pregnant. I had some abdominal cramps at 5 weeks so was sent for an early scan which confirmed the pregnancy. I later had another one which confirmed the HB. This is my first pregnancy and I seem to be questioning eveything! I am driving my OH crazy with all the concerns & worries. I am now 10 weeks & am so anxious about the 12 week scan. I can honesyly say that you need to have faith in your body, I am sure everything is functioning as normal. I hadn't realised they require your mw details for an private scan, why don't you try somewhere else? The reassurance helps a lot. This is all new for me too & we never expected for me to get pregnant as we wasn't trying. I am in my early 20's & am clueless about all this. I've recently seen my mw who has provided me with a book which I will know religiously read!

All the best to you sweets,

Thanks for that Yazmina It is reassuring that what I am going through and thinking is normal and I am not some crazy lady lol, Sometimes I forget that I am pregnant because I don't feel any different, thats why I wanted the early scan, I am going to see if there is any other clinics around where I live that do it, or else I will probably go insane I am sure that you are going to be fine hun, I swear may 23rd can't come quick enough for me lol

I feel exactly the same
I'm 6 weeks, 2 days pregnant. I thought TTC was hard but this is so much harder.
I don't know what I am doing, I don't know what to eat or what to drink. I don't know what's good for my baby and what's not :/ All I want to do is sleep in bed until Tuesday when I have my midwife appointment. It seems AGES away.
