Hi All,
This is my first time posting and I am so sorry if its very long or a little dramatic!
My DH and I decided to start trying for a baby in March, however I only had my first period after coming off the pill last month in May. We were expecting things to take a few months but we have found out that we are now 2-3 weeks pregnant, which for some reason came as quite the shock!
I am majorly confused about counting a pregnancy from 1st day of my last period, which makes me 2 weeks futher along than I can logistically be, is that the norm?!
My main (and if I'm truthful all consuming) anxiety is that I have had to self refer to the maternity dept at my local hospital, but I have no idea when they will ask to see me other than that Google tells me 8-14 weeks. I am so so worried that I will be living my life on cloud 9 and that something could be wrong or that it may be an eptopic pregnancy etc and I would have no idea for weeks to come until I am seen I am so worried that something could be wrong or that I could do something wrong that I just didn't realise about.
Just to add another aspect in, I have a condition with my spine in which I have always been told that I shouldn't give birth naturally, and of course my GP has agreed I should stop all medications but with no replacements at this time until the hospital contact me re pregnancy, so this is adding in another thing for me to get in a tizz over!
I have never really been an anxious person so I am absolutely shocked that I am being like this!
Can anyone give me some advise or let me know when they usually contact you regarding first appointments etc? I'm definitely letting myself get a little too stressed...
