Reassurance

[pickles5]

trsted positive on Sunday but I am so anxious something is going wrong because I’ve seen so many people share their experiences of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy even chemical pregnancy. I keep retesting twice a day just to see the line and know I haven’t lost it but the fear is all consuming. What do I do?

Hi, I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’m in exactly the same boat! I tested positive on Saturday and I’ve tested everyday since. I totally agree that the fear and worry is consuming. I’m trying to take the approach that in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, everything is ok.

More than likely, everything will be ok. 😊 Congratulations on your pregnancy! Is it your first?

Yeah it’s my first pregnancy. I think I’m roughly 5 weeks but I’m so hormonal already it’s insane which probably isn’t helping the anxiety! Like I need to see a line there to know everything is ok!!
congrats on your pregnancy too, is it your first as well? X

Please stop reading the negative stories (Google can scare anyone), and try to relax.
I have 3 adult DC and although it took a very long time to conceive DC2 I never experienced loss, many women never do.
My DIL had a pretty tough journey to motherhood.
DS and DIL had two weddings. DIL tested positive (following fertility treatment) the weekend before the second wedding. DS told me on that wedding day. It did feel like a good omen.
It was both exciting and frightening for them both. It almost killed me keeping it secret until after their twelve week scan. I also kept my pregnancies just between DH and I until after the first scan.
I now have an amazing DGD who is a year old. They both say she has made their dreams come true.
Please try to enjoy this time. There is nothing negative right now.
