I am almost 10 weeks preg with dc3

Planned but happened way quickly - basically straight away which was a huge shock

Other two dc took ages to conceive

I am 10 weeks tomorrow and have my booking in appt and scan on march 12th

I had some early bleeding so had a scan at 6 weeks which showed a heart beat

I have had no other bleeding and do have some very mild preg symptoms - ie not liking smells feeling a bit sick

I think part of the prob is I was pretty poorly with the first two so am finding it hard to believe I am in fact preg with dc3

This preg feels really different

I am plump so am not showing in the least

I want to go to my GP to discuss this fear that something isnt right and that I cant allow myself to plan ahead or be excited

Its all very strange and I dont know why I am feeling so anxious that somthing is wrong with the baby as my first two babies are fine and I am sure this little one will be too

I feel very irrationally emotional and am not discussing it in real life or even cutting myself any slack with re to being preg ie resting as I am sort of in denial / trying not to be attached to this baby

pleae can you advice me x Thanks

Try to hang on in there until the scan - I'm sure you will feel a whole lot better then once you've seen the evidence. I am 14 wks now with my second and I know exactly what you mean about holding back emotionally at the very early stage - there's nothing wrong with you at all, you are just protecting yourself just in case - but try not to be hard on yourself, and you are DEFINITELY allowed a rest if you can get one!!
