@Sussexbysea
I have no other tags can you add please

@Oldermum80 yeah it's best to not search your symptoms they just make it sound the worst! Type headache and boom it's diagnosed you with a brain tumour

I have my booking in appointment today, why am I so nervous?!

My 12 week scan is tomorrow and its all I can think about. Im trying to work and i have SO much to do today but I just cannot concentrate.

The nervousness is taking over my entire life. I've brought announcement stuff and not even opened it this time. Just left it in the packaging and put it away.

Last time we got my son a lovely t shirt with the due date on it to show people. I cam across it the other day when I was cleaning and I had a full on break down.

We have a t shirt this time for him too but this time no date. Had a quick look at it and put it away safe.

Feel like i can't buy anything or say anything without it jinxing us. We had so many plans last time and this rime we barely talk about it for fear or enjoying it for it to be taken away.

I'm so sorry i feel like such a Debbie downer in the group. My anxiety is getting the best of me and I honestly have been a wreck for the whole first trimester.

Does anyone feel like they can't enjoy this because of nerves or a previous miscarriage. Just feel like im constantly preparing myself for bad news :'(

I just fell down the stairs, all the way from the middle,I'm panicking, should I call the midwife or EPU?

@Anonymom31 I honestly feel the same way. I haven't had a previous miscarriage but I know all too well how uncertain the first trimester is. I'm just getting by day by day, me and my partner don't talk too much about it either and the wait for 12 weeks just fills me with anxiety. Both of us were talking the other day and said we had no idea this is what it would be like. You're not alone, we're all in this together, eagerly awaiting the a-okay

@Aurora124 I think you should if you are worried.

Hope you are okay though!

@Anonymom31 it sounds so bad but I feel like I’m not excited. I will be devastated if anything goes wrong but after two miscarriages and one being a missed, I don’t feel the same as I did the last time as I was so sure it couldn't happen again and every day I got further from on, I took as a positive sign. In my head I don’t know if I’ll get a baby at the end of it, if that makes sense. It’s all very surreal. I went for a meal last night where there was a little baby and I kept looking thinking aw so cute but I couldn’t quite grasp that one is growing in my tummy and I might have one myself 😂. Think it is a coping mechanism.

@Aurora124 if it is going to reassure you I would. I fell down the stairs the day after I found out with my very first but the doctor said it was so tiny that everything would be fine but I would be ringing given that you are further on. I think all will be ok as they are well protected but just so give you peace of mind.

@Aurora124 I did this nearly 3 weeks ago, broke my foot in the process and knocked myself out. I ended up in a and e. I was panicking about baby but everyone said it's so small it will be well cushioned. I would call if you are worried though. Hope you are ok x

@krj2608 @Oldermum80 thank you, thats actually really reassuring iv been in A and E and broken my wrist they said it shouldn't affect the baby. Would prefer a scan to make sure but I guess unless it's an emergency they won't be willing.

Feel like my clumsiness has increased 10 fold since being pregnant.

@Aurora124 sorry to hear about your wrist. Try not to worry too much about the baby, this early on the baby is so well protected the risks would be minimal.

@Oldermum80 I know exactly how you feel. I cant get excited at all. I too will be devastated if anything goes wrong because we want this so much. But i feel bad for nor enjoying it. Like I will look back and say you were silly for not relaxing.

I know how you feel. I've been trying to see the positive in the fact that I'm further on this time. But then I tell myself that's hope again sneaking in. I worry there is something wrong with me a lot. For nor enjoying this just because I have no symptoms and no bump and I can't feel anything. Some days I completely forget too. I can't grasp that there is a baby in there either.

@Aurora124 im sorry to hear about your wrist but baby is so small right now a fall would hopefully do no damage. If you get any tummy or back pain just call your midwife or epu. Its better to get checked.

Anyone else suffering with migraines?

@chloxhunt I did for years before my BFP then they've suddenly stopped!
All I can recommend is;
WATER WATER WATER!! All day
Cold flannels and dark rooms
4head headache relief!!

@JTB123 I get auras with mine! I hadn't had one since January then got one last week and now today, today's been the worst one my left hand, around my lips and the tip of my nose went numb and now i keep being sick haven't even taking my folic acid yet 🙄

@Aurora124 that must have shaken you up a bit, glad you have been checked out in A&E and they have confirmed no harm done to baby (just to your poor wrist!).

@Anonymom31 there are a fair few of us on here who are quite nervous at the moment. You shouldn’t feel bad about it at all and it is completely understandable. Don’t ever worry about being a Debbie Downer on here - we are all in it together and I have found the other ladies so kind and supportive. I had a miscarriage in Jan (first pregnancy) and had just one week of feeling overjoyed before everything took a turn for the worst. I was left feeling shocked, cheated, guilty for having told my mum and sister straight away, and stupid for being so naive and deliriously happy after my positive test. One of the things I have really struggled with is the fact that I will never experience that overjoyed feeling again and most likely will not enjoy pregnancy. This time has been so different. I have had nothing to particularly concern me like last time (just been worrying on and off about lack of symptoms). I have not allowed myself to be excited, DH and I have not told anybody (except my manager), and we are just trying to get through to 10 weeks when we plan to have a private scan (currently 8+3). I have burst into tears at random times because I hate how I am feeling and that I can’t get excited. You’re definitely not alone with how you’re feeling.

I got my letter through this morning for my dating scan which will be on 14th September but sadly my local hospital is still not allowing partners in, so having the private scan at 10 week with DH there is very much needed xxx

I’ve had a migraine for two days and today is horrific. I could barely talk this morning.

I agree with water but I struggled to drink it earlier. Got some 4head coming on the shopping later.

@Mrs1989 it is helpful to know others feel the same way i do. It doesn't make me feel so alone. Im so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and with your first pregnancy as well it must have been so hard for you and your husband.

We told a lot if people too. My nan, mom, best friends. We were overjoyed. We didn't think about the worst. This time we havnt told a soul. Not even my boss. Luckily all my appointment have fallen on my days off work.

I obsess over the lack of symptoms daily and I dream about bleeding and wake up shaken and rush to the toilet. I even did a pregnancy test this morning to see if it was still positive. It was. But then i kept telling myself that means nothing at all. My body still produced the hormones for weeks after my previous pregnancy had stopped growing. It just didn't get the memo at all.

I'm glad you have a private scan booked. My partner hasn't been able to come to any of our scans and the hospital rang to confirm my appointment today and told me no partners allowed still. Hopefully all will be well and we can book a private gender scan for 17 weeks like we did with my little boy.

I hope all goes well for you and your anxiety eases too. The waiting is the worst part isnt it for the scans. I have always had early scans so I honestly have no idea how people go for the full 12 weeks without going to one. I would drive myself mad.

Does anyone else just feel rubbish all the time? I feel tired, moody and sick and it starts from the moment I get out of bed in the morning. I've been dreaming of being pregnant and having a baby for as long as I can remember and now that I am (I'm super grateful) but also just not enjoying it- I feel like I'm fat and unprepared. I'm also worried that when I tell people they're going to go to feel my belly and I'll have to tell them to back off because it's not a baby bump just my fat!

@Taylortyler I feel ya. Although not feeling as rough as others, I feel fat, tired, moody, want to eat all the time, look about 5 months pregnant and if anyone touches my belly i'll punch them

@Sussexbysea yeah today's my worst one too!

@DSP21 that actually made me laugh out loud that is spot on for how I feel! Oh the joys and the miracle of having children

@Taylortyler 😂 all those glowing pregnant women easing through it all, screw you!

@Babafarmer sorry I didn’t see your message as it’s hard it keeps up. It’s a week on Friday.

Don't know whether to worry about my lack of symptoms? I started feeling nausea, fatigue and extremely sore breasts around 6.5 weeks. For the past 3 days I've felt absolutely fine, I'm 8 weeks today. My breasts are still slightly tender but don't even feel pregnant! I didn't really suffer morning sickness with my dd but just worried it stopped so abruptly and only felt sick for around a week! I have a private scan booked on Sunday so don't know whether to just hold out as it's only a few days but I'm an anxious mess
