Pregnancy struggles

[Jess1361]

Hey mums, I’m just looking for some advice as I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant this would be the second time this year as I lost a baby at the start of this year due to having an ectopic pregnancy. I’ve been finding this pregnancy rather hard especially as this would be my first time experiencing so many other symptoms that I didn’t have the last pregnancy. Did anyone else really struggle with there partner during there pregnancy as me and my partner are constantly arguing over silly things really and it seems to be putting a lot of stress on me as I’m constantly worrying I’m going to loose this baby I did have an early scan which ruled out ectopic! Even had a little heartbeat 🥺 but I’m so worried other complications could happen how did you guys help yourself to feel less worried about what could happen as my moods are all over the place and I can feel down from time to time and so often feel quite emotional and teary and I don’t want that to effect my baby either so any advice would mean the world to me!

The early weeks of pregnancy are so hard and lonely because no one knows apart from you and your partner. He probably doesn’t understand what you are going through physiologically and emotionally right now which makes it harder for you as you need to feel supported when you’re struggling! I am due to give birth soon after experiencing baby loss and I remember the emotions of early pregnancy well, it’s a really hard time and totally normal as your hormones are in overdrive. Take as good care of yourself as you can and try to let the emotions come and go, they are completely natural and a signal to give yourself some tlc. Have a cry and tell your partner he’s going to need to be patient, caring and loving to support you through this journey, you and the baby come first now- you’re doing something amazing! Congratulations and good luck with the pregnancy x

my first pregnancy my ex had a mental breakdown and left for a warzone whilst under some serious delusions- despite some unreal levels of stress and tears, my little one is the happiest person you will ever meet. She’s healthy, miles ahead in all milestones and a delight. There were definitely times I worried the tears would damage her - but she’s here and she’s strong!

During my current pregnancy I’ve just cried because someone sent me a photo of an octopus wearing a hat so really doing a great job of managing my emotions.
