I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I'm in the early weeks of a much wanted and long awaited first pregnancy. The problem is that I mostly WFH and have pretty much felt unable to focus on any work at all for the past week or so.
At first I was preoccupied with checking the lines, testing, looking at progression, because I couldn't quite believe it. I have since been spending time doing lots of researching - but also, frankly, a lot of time feeling a bit paralysed and unable to focus on my work tasks.
(I should probably say that I am on the waiting list for an ADHD assessment, which means a lot of this could be linked to that.) But, since finding out about pregnancy it's as though it's got even worse. I just feel like I need to get through each day, I am almost waiting for something to go wrong, and because of that waiting - I can't even focus on any work. It doesn't help that I am higher risk so I am fully aware of all the many things that could go wrong and lead to this pregnancy not progressing.
I have an early NHS scan booked in for a few weeks and if I am lucky enough to get that far I think it will only get even worse as scan day approaches!
I just feel that for the next eight weeks or so until my 13 week check, being pregnant, and hoping I am still pregnant, and worrying I might not be pregnant (etc!) is going to be the first/only thing on my mind all day.
Has anyone else experienced similar?
