Being unrealistic with myself

[ScaredFlamingo]

Wondering if anyone else experienced this... I am already setting unrealistic expectations for myself. I had my coil out 2 weeks ago, had sex maybe twice since and for some reason am disappointed I am not pregnant ... any tips on how to not do this to myself??

@27andcounting
Yea I've got real acidic taste in throat today, so feeling bit queasy. I am also very emotional and mood swings are pretty crazy!!
I've heard this from a couple of people, it can take ages to "feel" pregnant - I don't feel pregnant at all.
Must have been a nice feeling though, seeing the heartbeat? That's what I have next Friday and it cannot come quick enough!!
Ha! I was drinking most nights before we found out (quarantine will do that to ya!) but weirdly could tell I wasn't really feeling it and we decided that I won't drink at all for at least the first 12 weeks - then if everything is ok I may ration myself to a small glass of wine once a week haha!
I bet!! Have you had any cravings or weird aversions?

Can't wait for your early scan, how you get along now. That metallic taste is horrible I haven't had it much but know some who have it throughout most of their pregnancy.
I don't blame you just because you pregnant doesn't mean all the fun has to be taken out of everything, i still have little bits of food I shouldn't sometimes I forget and some times I just crave it.
Had my scan today! Literally the best thing ever and dated me exactly when I though I should be officially 11+3wks 😍😍😍

@27andcounting Omg look at that!!! You can see his/her little face!! I am so happy for you :) did you hear the heartbeat yet? You going to start telling people?
My early scan is a week today - nervous but excited... really just hope that everything is ok!! I'm ok, I haven't had much in way of symptoms yet - a lot of people say 6 weeks is when it really hits you with symptoms and that's tomorrow, so see how I am over weekend. I've been v tired and I fall asleep at 9pm every night and I am so bloated - I look pregnant already! But that's it really.

@ScaredFlamingo
I know it makes me so happy every time I look at it ❤️❤️, I didn't get to hear the heartbeat and I forgot to ask to hear it because the sonogapher was doing the checks for the three syndromes.
Got a list of people I want to tell directly so
Will probably do that next week because I'm officially 12 weeks on Sunday and then once done I will post on Facebook or something for family friends and such to see.
Well I'm hopeful for you but bet feels like time is dragging whilst you wait.
I didn't have like really bad symptoms just little bit here and there. But the tiredness thing I can relate you making a lot of the important bits for baby so your body is working hard which is a really good sign. Have you had any cravings yet? I've not had specific cravings yet just get fixated on wanting something and won't go away until
I've had such thing driving the OH mad.

@27andcounting Eek that’s very exciting!!

Luckily time is flying by at moment because work is so busy! No cravings, and I can keep nausea at bay if I eat regularly and move when I feel sick!

Just keep everything crossed it’s all ok on Thursday!!

@ScaredFlamingo
Very excited for you tomorrow let me know how it goes and post pictures.... fingers crossed all goes well 😘

I ended up having it moved to yesterday as they were low on staff. Saw heartbeat and everything is ok :) so happy! I’m 6 weeks and 4 days today so a little less than originally predicted.

How are you getting on?

@ScaredFlamingo still great news, how weird I was exactly 6weeks 4 days when I had mine haha. But that's brilliant! So happy it went well.

Not too bad keep getting really bad nausea at night which is so annoying but I've invested in my pregnancy pillow which is great, it's a must have 😊

@ScaredFlamingo how you getting on?

@27andcounting nausea and tiredness kicking my arse but not debilitating which is good. Will be 8 weeks on Monday so fingers crossed the next 4/5 weeks goes quickly haha! How are you?

Oh man I feel you! I stopped my pill in January and didn't have sex til March. Still thought I could've been I didn't have a period til April. Good luck, and you're not silly I think we've all been there! I'm one day post ovulation and imagining symptoms haha
