I yam what i yam graduates

Any ladies over here in the pregnancy boards from the ttc yammer board want to join Me?

I'm 4 weeks and just got my bfp yesterday and have my fx for a sticky bean x

Oh, Looking, try not to panic. I know that is easier said than done. I've had plenty of panics with spotting etc but all's been fine so far. Presumably it's not based on anything particular? Maybe find some meditative breathing to help you relax? Sorry, not very helpful. I hope you get some sleep tonight and hopefully you'll feel more positive in the morning.

Same here Looking, don't know when the nagging thoughts will end. Although they'd be better if I stopped googling all the things that could go wrong at this stage. I'm focusing on work/house for the next 11 days but it's not been easy to this point.

@SoozC. 😂😂 I have a narrow airway, if I try to deep breathe I might pass out! I am trying very hard to relax. I think I've pissed DH off. He's very logical and I'm very emotional. He said "Don't you think I worry too?" I said well yes but it's not the same and it's not. Pregnancy happens in our bodies and it doesn't always feel good.

I just wanted some fluffy talk and a cuddle to make me feel better but sometimes DH just shuts down. No one else in real life knows we are expecting. This first part of pregnancy sucks!

@WonkyDonk87. I have been Googling! I've had a "loose" tummy the last few days and ectopic came up and I freaked myself out! I haven't been sick yet - again freaked out lol. I think you could be pregnant 10000 times and you'd still feel this way!

The nagging thoughts don't end. I'm 34 weeks and totally paranoid about reduced movement

Daily routine:
Knicker check every trip to the loo.
Poke boobs at random times to check they're still sore.
Look at my tests (at least every other day), in case I read them wrong (many, many times, including two digitals).
Google every symptom. Panic when it comes up with posts on other sites where women had losses.
Rationalise in my head that there's nothing I can do if that is the case.
Poke boobs again for good measure.

@NimbleKnitter. Yeah I remember that with my DD's. I used to lay in bed at night and I wouldn't nod off until I'd felt them move ten times. I ended up in the labour ward a good few times!

@WonkyDonk87. I don't have sore boobs, my nips are a bit tender and my areola's are a brownish colour.

I look at my tests too 😂

The advice has changed now , so it isn't a certain amount of movements but rather a change in pattern.

So you can be paranoid 24/7

Yesterday I full on talked myself into the idea that I was going to lose the pregnancy. I felt exactly like I did during my last miscarriage, sat on the toilet too scared to wipe incase I was bleeding, but running to the bathroom every thirty minutes incase something had changed.

You'd have thought that after a good scan would be last time the crazy kicked in.

Oh bugger S1lver - so even if my scan next week is ok this won't stop?

@Nimble I'm with you there! Had my first episode of panic due to movements, ended up phoning the hospital in the middle of the night and got given an appt for monitoring the next day. Thankfully all was well and baby just seemed to be having a slow day!

@WonkyDonk87 oh no. I felt better for a whole day at least.

@Si1ver. Pregnancy loss takes away a massive piece of your innocence. I think it's very sad. I'm convinced that when I go to my scan that it won't be right. I'm not even making a call to book my booking in appointment until I've had a scan.

@WonkyDonk87. What day is your scan?

I've got my dating scan on Thursday. My last scan (private) was two weeks ago. I've been fine up until today. Now I'm starting to worry.

Sorry you're all worrying too x

I'm the same, although the wrigglyness is helping now. Hope everyone can take it a day at a time.

My scan's booked for the 22nd and I'll be 8 weeks by the calendar then (I suspect slightly less due to wonkiness). It's the first day of our holiday so if it's not good news then I've got a week to sort my head out without it impacting on work. Also not doing my midwife referral until after scan.

Please keep fingers crossed for me at 8am tomorrow, guys, at my 12-week scan. Worried something's happened in the last two weeks and we'll get bad news. Really really trying to stay positive as the chances of anything bad are slim but it's hard.

Everything I have crossed for tomo Sooz. The fear is shit, I know, but the odds are very much in your favour. Its good it's so early, less time to stress. It's only a couple of weeks I think to my anomaly scan, weirdly. The first 12 weeks lasted 43 years, now they are rushing by.

All the very best for tomorrow @Sooz.

@SoozC hope all is well tomorrow x

Crossing fingers and toes @SoozC let us know how you get on.

@SoozC. I'll be thinking about you x

Good luck @SoozC fingers crossed for you.

Thinking of you Sooz xx
