Me too, although it's not happened sooner than I thought but when we've been 'trying' it definitely didn't take as long as I thought it would. Although as I'm not having any symptoms I'm so in my head about it it's actually real. Listened to someone yesterday who said a new mantra I'm using saying I'm pregnant until proven otherwise. Here if you want to chat Rachel x

I had so many sleepless nights when I found out I was pregnant both times even though they were both very much wanted pregnancies about how life was going to change. You’re full of hormones and know a massive life change is coming. Give yourself time to come to terms with it. This is such a special part in your life. I wish I could re-do it all again knowing it’ll be okay!

Moms of 3+

During your 3rd pregnancy, did you feel further along than you were?? Or just me because I've had babies close together? 😅 12 weeks now but *feel* like mid 2nd trimester rather than beginning. Its already getting hard to move and definitely showing 😅

Uncomfortable

Anyone else just so uncomfortable now? I’m sure we all are but I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think I’d be in this much pain 😂.
I’m 34 weeks tomorrow and it’s so much effort to do ANYTHING in this heavily pregnant body. I feel like I’m not ready for baby girl to come but also, I’m so sick of being pregnant 😂.

Cbt for health anxiety

Has anyone else had this before and is it effective? I’m honestly killing myself with bad thoughts atm regarding my health, I’m worrying and getting so worked up.
For example I’ve always had lymph nodes reacting in my neck but I now have 9 and o e massive one at the back of my head/neck I’ve got severe itching around that area too for weeks and my GP’s sent me for blood tests. Usually I’ve always been sent straight for an ultrasound the last o e being a year ago when everything was ok but after a few months go by I think the same bad things again like it’s getting worse and my mind jumps to ‘it’s cancer and I’m going to die’ some people mock me for this but i genuinely really struggle with it. I think it’s because I’m so scared of it happening, I never worried like this to this extent before becoming a mum.
My biggest fear is losing my child (obviously) or me dying and not being able to be here for him I’ve also lost my mum to cancer when I was 18 and I’ve lost a baby before my baby I have now which may contribute to how my mind just spirals.
But I’m at a point now where if these blood tests come back ok then i genuinely do need some serious help.

What’s the most effective help for this type of anxiety please?
