Mum to be worries

[Rosaxo]

Hi. So I found out I’m 6 weeks, (basically 7 now) and I had right sided abdo pains so my local hospital sent me for an early internal scan which showed my little bean and it’s yolk sac! They’re being super good to me and bringing me back in next week when I’ll be 8 weeks for another internal. The sad thing is, I don’t feel any different to how I felt before I was pregnant? It’s a kind of detached feeling. I’m worried that because when I look at my belly I don’t see or feel anything (I know it’s too early for any of that) that when I go for my next scan I’ll find out that my little one hasn’t grown or changed. I’m trying my hardest to be positive but I feel a bit lost. When I talk to other people about it, they said “oh you’ll be fine” but that doesn’t change how I’m feeling. I don’t know what to do and this sounds like a big mope but I don’t know where else to offload all of this to.

Don't worry you're definitely not the only one. I felt completely detached when I was at your stage. To be honest I'm now 34 weeks and I still can't quite get my head around things some days!
Also in the first trimester I felt really really miserable. It was awful, I don't think I've ever been so down. I'd come home from work and just cry for no reason. Thought I was a freak initially and felt really guilty that I was so down at a time when I should be over the moon. Then I started talking to other pregnant women or friends with kids and realised it's actually quite a common first trimester thing. There's nothing wrong with us, it just hormones! It's also a massive thing to get your head round, particularly in the early stages before you see a bump. Good luck with everything x

With my first I felt completely detatched.

It was until around 16 weeks that I actually started to feel pregnant.
I was really young though and I didn't tell anyone until around 14 weeks out of fear aswell.

With this one (my 3rd) I'm absolutely terrified that I'm going to go to a scan and something go wrong. Complete opposite to my first. However, this one is making themselves very known as I've felt absolutely rotten since 4 weeks. Almost at 7 weeks now.

You're not alone and you have plenty of people to talk to on here :)

Thank you! I guess it’s just a lot I’m going through at the min and I’m feeling quite overwhelmed. I have my first appointment with my midwife next week so hopefully she can help settle some of these nerves and worries!
