Enjoy Now!

Post by PebblesUK »

We are all so quick to get on to the next stage, 12 weeks (this one understandably), see our bump, feel the baby, scans - the sex, the birth, first smile, first giggle, roll over, solid foods, sitting up, crawling, walking, talking etc

I think we need to stop, take a step back and enjoy now. This whole process goes by so quickly. My little girl is starting school in two weeks and I wonder where the time has all gone.

This time round I'm going to enjoy every moment, every pain, every bit I'm uncomfortable (you can remind me of this post in a few months time when I'm moaning!!), every kick etc, I'm going to try so hard not to wish it away and enjoy being at the stage I'm at, enjoy now!!

:D

hi...im sure you are right...but for some people its hard to enjoy their pregnancys....being scared keeps you from really enjoying it... deep down i guess some people are, like me, estatic to be finally pregnant but worry it may be taken from them.....
especially if there has been a history of miscarrage....or in my family a few have lost their babies...through still birth or heart defects at birth...

i do enjoy the fact my belly is growing and the thought of feeling babies kick soon....im glad to be pregnant but for me i will be glad when im near the end because no matter what stage your at...whether 5 weeks...12 weeks or 40 weeks.....worry is a big factor.....

wishing you and everyone else....a smooth and event free pregnancy

It seems everytime we are done worrying about one part there is something else to worry about! I think the point is take in stride....I am one of those who previously lost my son Connor last year due to incompetant cervix and went through my 4th IVF to obtain this pregnancy - so just as you round the corner of six weeks to hear the heartbeat - you have to make it to 12 weeks to be viable, next stage of worrying is making it to the AFP test with good results and the level II ultraound - so while we are always waiting and worrying cause we worked so hard to get hear - don't forget to sit back and enjoy - when the morning sickness is gone, that first round ligament pain, that first real good kick and enjoy those times - focus less on the bouts of constipation, heartburn, insomnia, etc....
