taking it day by day

[Maggie272]

feeling a bit hormonal today. I don't mind the regulations our govt have introduced, I quite like staying home! But would love to get to a yoga class or meet a friend for a quiet coffee.

I'm in Ireland, our case numbers are down. Not in total lockdown but everything has been closed for over a week. Find it stressful to get the shopping so go late at night when no one is there, but feel very jittery. Am coping pretty well, just wanted to reach out. No need to reply really, I guess I'm just a bit lonely! Hope everyone is staying safe and well x

Hi, I hope you're doing ok today in this weird world we're now living in! I'm pregnant too and am finding this new way of life pretty surreal. Like you, in general I'm coping ok but it's definitely not the way I'd invisioned my first pregnancy going!! I was looking forward to going to classes and meeting people in the same boat who I could go for a cuppa and a blether with but alas it is not to be! Is this going to be your first child?

I'm feeling good, thank you! Yes, I was enjoying my prenatal yoga classes, loved meeting up with people and telling them I was expecting....but it cold be so much worse. This is my first baby, via IVF, and after a very bad reaction to the injections I am feeling great, just very very tired. It's just so hard to believe that all of this is happening. Personally, I am really happy to be off work so that is something Mx

God, it sounds like you've had a difficult time of it so far. It's such a shame that just as you started feeling better this whole crazy thing happened. It's really surreal isn't it? I'm due at the end of June so god knows how everything will be then. I suppose it's best to try not to worry about it too much because there's just no knowing. When are you due? x

I am due end of August! I can't wait really, because this experience has been stressful. Not insurmountable though. I think by June things will have settled down, that's 2 - 3 months. But I will be thinking of you! So exciting that you're so close

Thinking of you too! I was really enjoying the whole experience of pregnancy and looked forward to all the various stages but now I sometimes feel that June can't come soon enough! Having said that in some ways it might be a good thing that we're not due now when then there's so much uncertainty surrounding the whole thing and with self isolation having to happen. It would be a shame to have a new born that friends and family couldn't come and meet. Anyway, I'll continue to take one day at a time and try to stay positive 🙂
