Hello! First time mum here, due at the end of May. We had our 12 week scan earlier this week and everything looked good, so we’ve started to tell family & friends.

The first few weeks we were very anxious - I had some bleeding at 7 weeks and we feared the worst - so I think subconsciously we were stopping ourselves getting too excited, but now we’ve had the scan (although of course I know nothing is guaranteed) I am just thinking about the baby/ pregnancy constantly!

I think lockdown doesn’t help because of course we aren’t able to go out and about and keep busy. We are normally quite sociable and have a fair amount of hobbies which obviously aren’t happening at the moment.

Working from home has been a total disaster this week too, I just can’t motivate myself - I keep doing half an hour’s work and then googling baby names or reading the threads on here...

Is anyone else the same? I’m hoping that this is just the initial excitement of getting past the first scan and that I will settle down again because I am absolutely obsessed and I can’t just not do any work or take an interest in anything else until May Grin

I'm exactly the same right now @dellarossa 😂 I am just hopelessly obsessed! No words of wisdom but I am very much on the same page as you!

Glad I’m not alone @CharlieD2020 😂 I’ve already started planning exactly what I want to decorate the baby’s room like and favourited wallpaper and everything - need to chill out a bit!

I’ve decided I’m going to give myself this week to be a bit useless at work and then next week get a bit more of a grip on myself!
