Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

samtoby

Just like you I am logging on loads to take a look.

I can not even imagine xx

TeamLowe

it is indeed a horrible situation and my heart goes out to her

ladies can i ask, do you sometimes feel on edge? most of today i've been happy but right now i feel like i could cry and i don't know why. i've found lately that i'm even softer than usual, crying at tv shows and i couldn't watch a show about cats cos one had gone missing and i had to turn it over cos i knew i couldn't cope if it was bad news
i keep panicking that i've done the wrong thing and we're not ready for a baby and do i even want one even though we tried for 22 months and the thought of holding my baby in my arms fills me with such joy but argh!

I know exacly how you feel TL. One of the signs that prompted me to take a preg test was I cried watching a friends episode. I have watched all the friends series about 20 times each and not once did I cry. Soon as little bean comes along, I was booing like a baby lol :rotfl:

Is this your first? I am panicking as well. Mine was not planned though. I think it's a natural part of pregnancy to be worried. As everyone says, once lo gets here, you won't regret it.

I'm totally with you on that TeamLowe.
I cried three times yesterday (that I can remember, it could have been more!). And twice was watching the same advert about a man and his dog. I'm usually a bit of a soppy so and so, but hormones and tiredness are making it extreme. I think its also that I'm on edge, feeling nervous about how I would cope should this pregnancy not get to twelve weeks...
Thinking about poor Sweaty Betty on the other thread.

I cried yesterday. I can't even remember why. I think its pretty normal. EEEEKKK.
Hormoanes going crazy.

Team lowe- I think everyone has good and bad days. Every twinge I get in my stomach I am petrified so I go to the toilet. I just want to get to 12 weeks.

Why do the days drag!

Sweaty betty hasn't left my thoughts at all. :-(

I've cried just now, reading SB's news Bless her. Wish we could make it all better for her.

It is such sad news about Betty. I've only just had a chance to read her latest update and trying not to cry for her since I'm in the office.

TL, I've been feeling all emotions under the sun! Also having the 'OMG what have we done?!' panicky feelings, but I'm fairly sure that's normal.

Sam, I'm like you in that I'm on constant knicker watch and every twinge scares me! I didn't feel very sick over the weekend and that worried me... I'm actually quite thankful that I'm feeling a bit nauseous again today!

Speaking of thankful; I'm also thankful to have such a lovely, caring hubby. I've had struggles in the past with anxiety and stress (basically I don't deal well with change... and a baby is the biggest change I'll ever go through!) and he told me that he knows that it's likely that I'll get some degree of PND, but it's nothing to be ashamed about and I'm to tell him immediately how I'm feeling so he can support me as he doesn't want me suffering in silence and making it worse for myself. His Mum had pretty severe PND for years following his (traumatic) birth so he understands it to a degree which really helps, I also think he's scared of losing me to the degree that his Mum was lost to his family as no-one knew what was happening. Just knowing that I've got his understanding and support will make me feel so much better, no matter what happens.

Also, I think it's time to pack away anything with a waistband! Soft stretchy fabrics all the way from now on, I don't even care if people start to talk!

TL - At my first appointment with my midwife I got a 'pregnancy manual' of what to expect (and told to stay away from google) There are several pages on the subject of 'Oh !!!! what did we do' that most women start to feel even if it was a much longed for baby. What you are feeling is very normal.

Tv hasn't made me cry but have welled up at several of the Facebook stories about nice things that people and animals have done for each other.....I hardly ever cry at anything!.

SB - So sorry to hear about Bettys twins. Such a sad time. Just have no words. I hope she has lots of love & support around her.

afm. My OH is trying to quit smoking. So far he has tried patches (they burn), gum (makes him nauseous) and now the doc has perscribed champix pills so fingers crossed it works this time.

We had our second reassurance scan this morning and junior is 21.8mm long and they told us 8+6 which is a couple of days ahead of where I thought. Next appointment is Friday with the midwife.:)

TL - I've cried at least once a day for the past 5 weeks or so. I'm currently having a sniffle because Nadal is doing so badly at Wimbledon :rotfl: I know I have a bit of a crush on him but there is no need for this level of distress! I think the 'OMG, what have I done!' moments are pretty universal too
