Can't get excited

[Confused521]

There isn't a question in here apart from a plea for advice.

I'm pregnant, around 11w (confirmed by a scan today). I lost my last at around 10.5w in 2020 after having seen it all so I can't bring myself to get excited about this, which makes me sad, especially for my new hubby who hasn't yet become a daddy. The sonographer was very thourough (we went private) and found load of things, even the bladder. No fluid, placenta in the right place, HB, brain, 2 arms, 2 legs, even nasal bone etc

I can't even look at the images and I joke about not announcung it until its born.

Any tips on how to deal with this? I'm concerned I'll never allow us to be excited.

I’m so sorry you feel like this. I couldn’t allow myself to get excited until now, I’m 13 weeks, but I’m still pragmatic that things can and do go wrong. I would really recommend speaking to a counsellor, they can help you work through it. You’re not alone.

Thank you - that helps to know and talking to someone might help x
