So after a week of finding out I am pregnant I called the birthing centre earlier to get the ball rolling!! I got my wish of it being in half term meaning I don’t have to tell work just yet! Still feeling overwhelmed by it all! Xx

Congratulations!
My booking appointment made me very emotional (in a good way!) when she asked about birth plans and breastfeeding and said baby will be placed straight on my chest and would instinctively root for the breast - I started to weep! (Hormones or happiness you decide!)

Aww congrats! Seems like ages ago that I had mine! Nearly 3 months now and my first scan is less than a week away! It goes by a lot quicker than you think!

At the time it feels so slow though! I think I’ll feel better after my first scan! I’m just impatient lol xx

I found the hardest bit as between the booking appointment and first scan even though it was only 3 weeks! I would advise asking how you will hear about the scan as I didn’t Blush and had to come on here to ask and found out it’s different in different areas

Congrats! I have also booked my booking in appointment today, it feels way more real now, I can't wait! Mine is in another 3 weeks, when is yours? How are you feeling so far?

Mines the 28th may! Day after my birthday! I will ask about the scans. I am sure with my others the hospital just sent me a letter through the post but could have changed! Xx

Ah that’s really soon how exciting! Great that you feel good too. I’m alright just soo sooo tired! And started getting low level nausea as well which is just great. I know what you mean about the cramps, it’s so odd to have that sort of pain and it be a good thing Hmm
