    Thanks for everyone's advice - I'm going to go sick tomorrow & see how I feel, then maybe see the Dr after that. Trouble is I'll get no peace at home which is really what I need to sort out my head as I'm living with my parents & Mom especially likes to fuss.

  • Thanks Jenjade and waitingforpost for the nappy info. I went to Tesco yesterday and they had their packs of huggies newborns on offer from £6 to £4, so I bought a pack and used my 3 £1 vouchers that I got in the argos packs, so I got the pack for £1. I love a bargain.
  • Is anyone else feeling really stressed and anxious about everything or is it just me?

    I had a really rough night last night in floods of tears feeling scared about everything and anxious about getting a baby at the end of all of this and everything going okay. I'm scared, I feel alone, lonely tho my OH is great I ... I dunno.. I cried myself to sleep last night and I feel I could cry all day today.

    Yesterday all stemmed from needing to make a decision whether to do natal hypnothereapy or an hypnobirthing type course with a lady I know - something I feel I need to help me get through labour.

    My oh suggested going to the dr and getting some pills, I have a history of depression - is this hormones or something more.

    I know stress is bad for the baby.

    I expected to wake up this morning and feel quiet but more positive but I'm feeling just as rubbish and crying.

    Oh god, I've got so much going around my head.....

    *gives self a slap*

    Hmm might be a bit of both hormonal and depression - Talk to your midwife about it.

    If it helps - im normally a happy bouncy person - OH upset me at the weekend so i threw a cake at him :rotfl:

    I know the feeling Glitter - I also have a history of depression and this feels very much like it. I've been so miserable, any decisions are a total trauma and I'm starting to find excuses not to leave the house :( so no, its not just you hun. Big hugs xxx

    Thanks Winnie, it's helpful to know I'm not alone.
    Question is what should/can 'we' do about it.....

    I think I'm going to talk to my midwife about it at my appointment next week and see what she suggests - I don't really know what else to do tbh. Do you use any particular techniques to cope when you're not pregnant? I usually exercise (to excess probably) but the SPD is preventing that right now.

    who had the nuchal translucency scan?

    I rang up for my results last week and they said the risk was low:
    1 in 810. they said for my age it would be 1 in 750 anyway.

    this doesn't seem very low to me when i see other people getting 1 in 000's.

    what was everyone elses result?
