Anxiety creeping in

I think I’m around 9 weeks and don’t have much advice other than to say I really empathise! A bit anxious too but your scan isn’t too far away now so it’s OK to wait! Do you have your booking/midwife appt soon? Might be worth talking to them about your anxiety and if they have any words of advice to offer. I have mine on Thursday so am banking on that calming my nerves somewhat xx

I'm 9 week 5 days and I'm really anxious too but my symptoms have calmed down massively this past week or so it's natural to panic but with no symptoms of anything wrong that's a massive positive so try not stress and enjoy the journey as best as you can relax mumma xx

I used to have this with my first! And I just kept taking tests just to be sure, just the cheap £1 ones and it’s just enough! I’d just find anything to keep your mind settled xx

@Ash B thank you for replying 💕 I had my booking appointment at the start of this week but I didn't talk too much about my worries - I was feeling quite positive that day 😂 it's so strange in early pregnancy - you have hardly any idea what is going on do you! Hope you feel better after your appointment xx

@Katie We must be due more or less the same time! How exciting 😊 I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. You're right, it isn't a sign of anything wrong at all - we have got this gal xx

@Laura I need shares in those tests 😂 Thank you for your reassurance xx

@Christie I'm due on the 17th November xx

I'm 9 weeks today and I forget I'm even pregnant I'm just tired on and off and got pregnancy big boobs on n off feel a bit sick , I'm not worrying there's no point 🙃 more u worry more ur stressing urself out I had midwife appointment on Tuesday and all iv got is to do loads of blood tests next week iv got no scan appointment for wen I'm 12 weeks

@Ellie-May isn't it weird! This rollercoaster we are all on 😂 I can relate with the boobs and on and off sickness! I think I just expected it to be constant but it's been all pretty steady so far. Hope you get your scan through soon xx

@Katie I'm around 18th Nov but I expect this to change!

I'm roughly 22nd of november this is my 3rd pregnancy so I no what to expect xxxx

@Christie yeah bless you I've already had 3 scans and it's changed every time so far got my next one on the 29th fingers crossed for a positive journey for you xx

Christie this couldn’t ring more true to how I am feeling as well. I am 9 weeks today and haven’t slept the last couple nights because I am so anxious about my 12 week scan. My symptoms come and go - I know it’ll be so reassuring once we hear and see that heartbeat. We are so close 🙏🏻

@Haylee We are so close! We have got this ✨ I am so glad to hear that I'm not alone in this and others feel the same 💕 I was lucky to have a scan at 6 weeks for a check I needed and seeing the heartbeat was a huge relief - still doesn't change any anxiety now on the countdown to the next scan! Hope you're okay 💕💕

Hi lovely. I’m 10 weeks exactly today & I honestly feel like we’re the same person with these worries. I was never sick, but had nausea which has also subsided over the last week I’d say. So I really overthought about this. Pains/cramps are all I’ve also experienced. As long as they don’t stick around all day/get worse you’re grand really. You’re not going mad at all lovely, you could ring the EPU and explain your anxiety and they’ll offer you an early scan, I’ve had one so far and it’s really reassuring. 🥰 xxx

I totally get you. It's normal feeling this way. It's a long wait I agree but it's when the placenta takes over. I know the boob feeling. Mine feel really heavy. Tiredness is unreal in 1st trimester. Honestly your doing great. Not long now. Keep yourself busy x

@Chloe it's reassuring to hear that I'm not the only one feeling this way 💕 the overthinking is so real isn't it! You're right, I could always ring for advice :) thanks so much xx

@Hollie I think it's remembering that our bodies are made to do this and we can trust in them to do what's right for us and baby 😊 we have got this xx
