Well I wish I could have a day when I could stop worrying and just really enjoy being pg!! After having a worry this week about pains on side, we got to see our little Bub on Wednesday at 6 wks all good and little heart fluttering!!!! BUT today I have woken up and my boobs really don't seem quite as sore?? I am so worried as they have been really tender since EC. Can your symptomes really change and everything be ok?? I have had my usual dose of total sickyness this morning but just worried now!
Any help would be really appreciated - driving myself mad!!!!
Thanks a lot,
Kel xx
Excellant news on your scan.
I feel just the same re symptoms. Some days I have nausea, some days I dont. My boobs were really sore in the begining, especially when Id just got up on a morning, but i wear a bra all the time now, and dont notice it as much. I got AF type pains a couple of days ago, and havent now. Im hoping its all just normal, sometimes you do and sometimes you dont have symptoms. I think we are all the same re worrying!
Take care,
Love Kim

With my first pg I worried like crazy, I told myself I'd stop worrying after 12 weeks, but then I worried about the birth, I thought I'd stop worrying after the birth, but then you worry about cot death. When they are older you worry coz your DD is not doing whatever Johnny next door is doing and you panic that they are slow. My DD is 4 and my current worry is will she make friends OK when she starts school in September and how will I keep her safe when shes at school if I'm not there.
The worry is constant it will never stop, but we've fought so hard to get here our fears are much more heightened than 'normal' conceptions. I am pg with number 2 and I have said to DH that 'I want a scan now!' so many times he's about to kill me.
The worry wont subside, but your prize at the end of 9 months will be worth everything you have suffered

Congratulations on your scan - that's quite a big hurdle to get over in the early days I think.
I had sore boobs during the 2ww and then the soreness disappeared a few weeks after my positive result. I didn't have any sickness either so no pregnancy symptoms for me at all !!
However, I did get AF type pains and these were due to all the changes going on to make room the baby.
I hope you have chance to enjoy some of your pregnancy - I started really enjoying mine after 22 weeks when the baby started moving but I did relax a bit after 12 weeks as well.
The worry never stops and when I was carrying Alex-Mitchell I never associated pregnancy with pain. I was experiencing all different sorts of pain but try and just relax I know its easier said then done its not easy. My boobs was sore for the first 12 weeks and then they was fine, but then I started to get very bad back ache and I wished I had the sore boobs instead of the back ache.
Just wanted to say thanks a lot for all your help! It has reasured me and I am really trying to enjoy the fact I am pregnant and stop going crazy!!!!! (If that's possible!! )
Hi Kel, I missed your great news re. the scan (busy entertaining parental visitors in 5 days of pouring rain and cold temps).
Congrats on seeing the jelly bean as you put it!. Susie is right, the worries just change as you go along but you'll probably never completely stop and say 'everything's perfect, no need for concerns going forward'. Maya is newly 2 and I'm trying hard to relax into her new independence but my current (and minor) concerns are her refusal to brush her teeth + a marked dislike for all vegetables except mushrooms and olives LOL!
Do try and enjoy the pregnancy though, it's an amazing experience.
love

Thanks Debra - you are right and I guess the worry is always there, but I am really trying to enjoy it. Will probably feel more calm after the second scan next week (but then apparently will just worry about the next one!! )
Can't believe Maya is into Olives at 2!! Bless!! Must have really good tastebuds!!!
Hope you are ok?
Love Kel xx
