This is going to sound mad! Need opinions!

Hi all

I find out 2 days ago that I am pregnant. We have been actively trying but it’s still come as a huge shock and taking a while to get my head around it! I don’t know why I’ve got this thought in my head, but I can’t stop thinking that what if it’s an ectopic pregnancy. I guess there is no way of founding out so early on and you have to wait until your first scan or go private and pay to have one earlier? Like the title suggests, the probably does sound mad I also suffer with bipolar disorder but I feel like I can’t get excited until I know the baby is growing where it should be. Did anyone else ever feel this way? And if so, how did you overcome it and did you get an early scan? Or, is this just madness lol! Thanks!

You need to find a way to relax and wait. You cannot alter the outcome. Look up signs of ectopic to be aware. Speak to your therapist for strategies so you are not anxious all the way thru.

You can’t see til 6 weeks so quit worrying til then! Xx

Having a baby is an endless series of what ifs. It's a journey, not without risk, you just have to go with it.

There's a tiny chance it's ectopic. Don't let yourself spend your whole life worrying about what ifs. If something bad happens, it won't be better because you worried about it all that time.

Thanks for your comments. Sometimes I just need a neutral kick up the butt or Realisation! Helped quite a bit, literally no point in worrying ☺️ I just wasn’t sure if this was the same pool we were all in. Thanks again! Xx
