Hi girlies I'm new...

[Lora1982]

Just found out Im pregnant and obviously have no idea what to expect! Im worrying about every little thing I feel going on inside... although i know its just my body making room etc but its still worrying me... i keep thinking what if etc.

My due date is 8th Jan so it'd be great to talk with some ladies in the same boat or ladies who have been there n done that so they can stop my fretting!! :-D xxx

Congratulations! I'm afraid I'm not the same dates as you (my EDD is next week) but wanted to say hi and that it does get easier! I am sure lots of lovely MNers will be along soon to give sage advice... But I found I stressed about everything at the start and then I got used to trusting to my body and my LO as time went on.

Take it easy, look after yourself and do allow yourself some hurrahs!

Hey lora! Welcome and congrats :)

I've found it really useful to be on MN, great information, empathy from people going through the same and just a bit of fun.

Don't fret, just enjoy :)

Yipee! Congratulations! I'm 30 weeks with my second, so not due-date buddies, but just wanted to reassure you that there will all sorts of strange twinges that'll make you want to hot-foot it to the GP, but just try to relax, they are generally nothing. Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but can be hard in lots of different ways at different points, so be kind to yourself and enjoy every moment that you can. Life will never be the same again!! x

This is the thread you want for general chat with those with a similar due date.

Chat threads are deliberately separate from the Pregnancy forum, which is a good place to ask for help on more specific pregnancy related issues.
