Feeling 'urgh' - sorry borderline rant

[Newmummytobe79]

Hiya,

Not sure if I'm having a bad day or if it's normal to feel this way so close to the first scan but I'm driving myself mad!

I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and we have our scan appointment in 10 days time - which we can't wait for! But I can't stop reading things about MMC - my symptoms are still strong and my stomach is now sticking out a bit and hard at night - so I'm thinking that's a good sign, but I can't stop worrying - even though I know there is nothing I can do either way.

I'm also avoiding friends and missing on nights out because I can't tell them yet - I'm getting paranoid they think I'm being boring (never usually one to turn a night out down!)but I just can't tell them yet as I'm due to be my best friends bridesmaid in August (when I'm due!) and need to know my EDD before I break the news to her. (which is another worry!)

Is anyone else feeling urgh and do we think a big fat bar of Dairymilk would help?

I'm not feeling urgh but I want to sympathise anyway! I had exactly the same worries when I was waiting for my scan, they're totally normal. I just could not wait to see my little one and the feeling when I did was amazing. Of course as soon as the 12 week scan is done you start worrying about the 20 week one! All part of motherhood I'm afraid :) It is so hard to stop worrying and no amount of reassurance will really get rid of your fears until you actually see him/her wriggling around. So, in the meantime chocolate is very highly recommended!

Hiya WriterofDreams (cool name by the way!)

I know - it's just so hard waiting isn't it!

Fingers crossed in 10 days time I can breath a huge sigh of relief and until then ... I'm off to buy some chocolate :o)

I couldn't wait for the first scan, wasn't to worried about mmc, more that I was completley mistaken and there wasn't a baby there at all!!

I told alot of my closest friends (who I spend a lot of time with) so they wouldnt just think I was beign boring, but also because I felt that if the worst should have happened, I would rather have a support network.

Good luck with it, ty and stay busy and it'll behere soon enough!

I know how you're feeling, I'm at 18 weeks now and couldn't tell anyone (except my family and two best friends)either (husband is very superstitious). I found this forum helped very much!
Good luck!

The waiting is agony, isn't it? I too veered between thinking that I would deffo have had a mmc or that, as Lynzilove says, I'd imagined the whole thing and the weeks of sickness and positive pregnancy tests were all a figment of my imagination.

Hang in there. Choc is good, rest is good. Relish your secret for a few more days and anticipate the joy of finally being able to tell everyone.

Good luck.

Aw thanks ladies!

Patience isn't my best trait (really?) - but I shall try and relax and enjoy! x

Hi I was 11 weeks yesterday and have a scan on 15th so know exactly how you feel. I had an early scan as had MMC in October and all was fine but it doesn't stop me worrying.

Let's hope the next week or so speeds by
