With the help of mumsnet mates, CBT and real life support have (started...) to get on top of some serious anxiety and begin to begin to begin to feel positive about my pregnancy. Woke up this morning for first time in about a month having slept ok and not feeling terrified with terrible thoughts about the baby's health being affected by my nerves (reassuring side note for anyone in same boat, psychatrist and psychologist i've seen been mega clear this is all irrational) but now wondering what's "normal". Am normally so cheerful and excited about everything from what i'm going to have for tea to going out to watching a show I really like (yup, mega rock and roll lifestyle this end) and feels unfamiliar to be bit neutral. Don't get me wrong, cautiously numb beats waves of anxiety any day but would love to work towards actual happiness! Midwife at booking in so nice and said was normal to be disbelieving / apprehensive for months but - well - is it?! thank you! xxx

Oh bless, I'm 9 weeks yesterday and got my booking in on Monday. How did yours go?

I'm a bit disbelieving its actually happening, I haven't really had massive amounts of nausea or other symptoms except tiredness so I guess at the moment it feels as if it isn't happening.

Can't wait for the scan to actually see if there is a) a baby in there and b) that everything is ok.

@moonlight1705 I'm on my way to my booking appointment now. 1st baby. Haven't vomited once, just a bit of tiredness, grumpy and a few cravings for fruit and peanut butter (not together!). The lack of symptoms has been hard as it makes it harder to believe but I wasn't going to go for an early scan as they seem to bring up more issues than reassurance after reading on here and there is also a question over safety of excessive ultrasound scans.

Ps I was 9 weeks on Tuesday

all a bit weird isn't it? Had such a bad time last time seems ridiculous to be so demanding but i really want the billowing gingham dress in cornfields moment at some point!

@cheerfullysleepless Thankyou so much for your honest post. You've made me realise I'm not on my own in my panic stricken thoughts. Absolutely panicked right now ... hoping it will ease up soon! X

We tried for 18 months & husband had issues with sperm so yep, at 9 weeks I'm still a little bit apprehensive. But have days of excitement & positivity so take them when they come. Congrats to everyone.
