Worrying

I feel anxious too, it’s the not knowing if they’re ok because it doesn’t feel real at this point! Have you taken a clear blue to see how far along? That’s how I tried to ease my brain was if I got a 3+ I know it’s heading in the right direction until I book an 8 week scan!
I found out at 3+4 and this wait is excruciating. With first pregnancy I had a mc so the anxiety is highhhh! Got a scan booked privately at 8+2 feels forever away
I feel exactly the same. I am too anxious & googling/tiktok and all these forums do not help at all. I’m 5 weeks 4 days ( due August 2nd too! ) and still doesn’t feel real. I have booked a scan when im 8 weeks , to see if all is okay with baby but still feels so long away. I wish I could just hibernate and its scan day 😂
@Saskia yeah I was 3+ on Sunday so I think I’m about 5.5 ish weeks so about 2.5 weeks to wait for a scan but feels like it’s going soooo slowly! 🤦🏼♀️
@Samantha-Louise awww hi due date twin! I’m really glad I’m not the only one just freaking out this time lol i actually envy my first pregnancy when I found out after 8 weeks 😂😂
I’m also due the 2nd of August! I know how you feel though with my first I found out at 8 weeks but I found out before I’d even missed my period with this baby so the wait feels agonising 😩
I feel the exact same! I found out last weekend and expected due date is 10 August and I have to keep looking at the test to confirm that this is really happening but I’m so desperate to know if everything is okay x
i was 5+5 when i saw the heartbeat on an ultrasound! (thought i was 6+3 lol) so it might be worth booking a private scan if you’re super worried? xx
@lauren🧚♀️we can’t find anywhere that will do one before 7 weeks so we have another week or 2 to wait and on top of that we hit Xmas and new year 🤦🏼♀️ so I think we are gonna try and get a scan booked in around the 20th before Xmas and we will be nearly 8 weeks by then so hopefully should be able to get an ok scan 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I hope your surgery went well🤞🏻 To be completely honest, I have just gotten a positive pregnancy test and I'm just riding the happy wave right now😅 I know you shouldn't get excited until you hear a heartbeat at 8 weeks (because if you do, your chance of continued pregnancy goes up to 98%). I'm telling myself I'm allowed to be happy even if it ends in miscarriage because at least I know I can get pregnant and it's my first positive test in six months of TTC. That already feels like an accomplishment so I'm definitely riding the wave. I'll keep being happy until I don't have a reason to be happy anymore 😅 and I'll allow myself whatever emotions I'm feeling if something bad happens, but I'll always keep in mind I can keep trying no matter what happens and the baby that I'm meant to have, I'll get when the time is right xx If you can choose to think like I do despite the fear of the impact the surgery may have had, I think whatever happens you'll be able to deal with it in a much healthier way.
And just to note, it was the same for me with the first baby. We found out after 6 weeks, so I already had all the symptoms, nausea, tender breasts etc and it was hard waiting for 8 weeks even then! This time I couldn't wait and took the test on the end of the day my period was supposed to come on😅😅 so now I'm 3+6, no symptoms at all and 8 weeks feels a decade away 😅😅😅
I feel the same. I found out a week ago when I was 3 +1! This is my first pregnancy and Im so anxious! I booked a scan for 6 weeks and was counting down to that but the clinic messaged and said I was better off pushing it back a bit to make sure I see a heartbeat so now it feels so far away! The days are going so slowly!!
