Pregnancy

[Melissamandy]

Hey everyone. 11 months ago I posted about having a hard time falling pregnant. Well the time has finally come and I will be 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow. It’s been an emotional roller coaster and I am eager to push through this pregnancy to have everything end up okay. My fiancé supports me as much as he can but it’s terrifying being pregnant expecting the worst all of the time, I try my best not to. Just looking for some positivity and hope and the midst of all of this. I’m beyond grateful to finally be pregnant with our first love, it’s just so stressful.

Congratulations!!!! I will be 12 weeks tomorrow too and i'm a first time mum

After having wanted something so much for so long, I know how this must be such a scary and worrying time for you. I'm worrying too, I've not even really let myself get too excited yet and I've told no-one but my husband.

But just remember reaching 12 weeks means that the chances of miscarriage drops significantly (like less than 1 or 2%) and it won't be long until your scan (unless you've had it already) and you'll get to see your beautiful little baby and hear their heartbeat. I'm sure you'll feel so much better then. That's what I'm hoping!

Just try and look after yourself as much as possible (lots of rest, food, water and vitamins, as well as some nice walks) and I'm sure everything will go wonderfully!

I keep trying to focus on the good things (like telling people) rather than let myself worry too much but I know it's hard when you might not want to get your hopes up.

Good things happen all the time and just think about ALL the women who deliver healthy babies every single minute - there is every chance that you're going to be one of those women next year!

Good luck with your pregnancy and congratulations again (sometimes the biggest battle is conceiving in the first place). x

First of all congratulations!! I was a complete bag of nerves until my 20 week scan. I didn’t buy anything until about 24 weeks. I fell pregnant after 3 years of trying and 4 rounds of IVF. I’m now 35 weeks and I’m still a bit of a worrier. Unfortunately it is normal but try and do some self care or whatever chills you out. Xx
