worry worry worry

[MrsHOP]

Hi all, I am new to mumsnet, and 11.5 weeks in - is it normal to feel more worried that something will go wrong the more you tell people? We have started telling friends and I have to start telling workmates tomorrow, I know it sounds stupid but I just can't help thinking I should keep it to myself. It's silly - I have never ever been a worrier about my health (much the opposite), and now every slight twinge panics me...

completely normal
when are you due? have you joined the antenatal thread for that month? I found the antenatal threads to be great for this as everyone has the same worries!

could you leave telling workmates till after your scan?

due end July - my first nhs scan isn't until 14th Jan but I crumbled just before Christmas and paid for one as I just wanted to check it was there! Thank you - I will go and join the antenatal thread now!

due in july thread

well the thing is I had resigned but had to retract it when I found out - my new job was going to be mega stressful and I made the decision to grovel to old bosses and stay put - thing is everyone still thinks I'm leaving in a couple of weeks - which is exactly when my scan is!

dont worry you will be fine take it easy enjoy being pg you will miss being pg when your lo arrives

thank you for the words of support - feel like I'm going mad sometimes! guess that's the hormones too
