Can someone please give me a good shake. Am 5.5weeks pregnant with DS2 and I just can't relax that all is well. Have no reason to suspect its not, other than that with DS i was sick all day from about 4 weeks, and appart from one or two episodes of retching I have been fine. Have very sore boobs so guess thats a good sign.

I need to get a grip!

Consider yourself shaken!

But also sympathies. I remember thinking it was so blood unlikely that there would be a person alive inside me, I just couldn't bring myself to really believe it, even after the 12 week scan.

Good luck with your pregnancy

dribble, you are not alone. I think that we all feel that way. Lots of women don't get symptoms until a few more weeks into the first trimester (and lots barely get any symptoms at all).

You can't control what happens so just concentrate on doing the absolute best for your baby at this early stage. Eat well, do breathing exercises to relax and at least you'll know that you're doing everything you can.

You won't get a grip until after the 12 week scan. Then there will be test results to worry about, then the 20 week scan, then fears about the birth, then you'll have your baby and the worrying will really begin Grin.

Good luck, hope all goes well for you.

Thanks all, just notived I put pregnant with DS2! Meant DC2 obviously have no idea what i'm having!

I'm usually ok but a colleague had a mmc a few months back and another has been chatting to me about her sister who had just mc at 11 weeks Sad. She doesn't know i'm pregnant so felt she could chat to me (wanted some advice on what to say).

Will treat myself to a relaxing bath and early night (DS obliging!)

Thanks again
