I’ve been having strange feelings in my lower-right abdomen since Friday evening - mostly a sensation of pressure, with the occasional light stabbing pain. It seemed a sensible precaution to get it checked out sooner rather than later, so I called NHS 111 (such an excellent service!), and the sent me to a not-so-local walk-in centre.
The doctor there was very nice, and poked me a bit. It was somewhat uncomfortable when he poked in one spot in particular (which is always kind of a relief when you go in on a Sunday - makes you feel like maybe you’re not wasting everyone’s time!), and he’s sent me for a scan at his local hospital at 2.45 tomorrow.
Now I feel relieved that this is getting looked at, because if it is ectopic it needs fixing sharpish (I’ll be 6+1 tomorrow), but also rather sad. I feel as though things will not go well for me tomorrow, and obviously this is not an outcome that I want - we spent over a year TTC, and had given up hope of managing naturally (not that conceiving quickly would make things OK).
I think I’m mostly just moaning. But also, I’m feeling a bit alone. I’ve not told many people about this pregnancy, and it would be lovely if someone would say something nice and reassuring!
