I thought I would start this thread because pregnancy after a lot of bad fertility evidence and early miscarriages has shaken up quite a range of emotions.
The Highs:
Walking out with a Bounty Pack! Amazing feeling - It made me feel 'wow, this is it. I am not a fraud. I am pregnant!'
My scans at 5, 8 and 10 weeks looking perfect and seeing little baby grow and develop.
Instead of ringing relatives to say it's all over, and feeling like you've let everyone down again, ringing them to say 'baby is doing well!' or 'everything looks perfect!'
For me, I was so happy Midwife was asking me everything under the sun at my booking appointment, in my head I always thought ''she won't bother asking that, she may be 50/50 if the baby will even make it so what's the point?''
The scan pictures. Amazing. Seeing baby wiggle - Out of this world.
The Lows:
Never really feeling relaxed at any stage of the pregnancy.
Every niggle/slight possible cramp feeling was/is a nightmare. It sets you on edge with worry.
Bleeding. Had this at just gone 7 weeks with my healthy baby. This was always the start of devastating news for me before.
Family and close friends anxiousness along with yours in the very early days.
I can imagine all this may be very different, depending on past experience etc.
