1st trimester
I'm so stressed out.
I just wanted to share something here.. I've read several forums but I wanted to post this myself.
If all goes well, I'm now 10+5 weeks pregnant, next week I have the 12-week scan.
I also had an ultrasound at 8 weeks where a beating heart was visible.
That was a while ago though.
In the meantime, I've had all sorts of issues. From stomach pain to nausea, sensitive breasts and difficult bowel movements.
But for about a week and a half now, most of the discomfort has gone away!
I'm just a bit tired and still have quite severe stomach pain.
And that's exactly what I'm so worried about, I get stomach pain so often.
When I call the midwife, they say it's normal and I should rest in the evenings.
Do several ladies here have this too?
I'm so scared something is wrong! When I'm alone at home, I mostly read forums about miscarriages, I'm really stressing myself out. When I'm alone, I can't think of anything else! My husband keeps telling me not to worry so much, but that's easier said than done!
The baby is so welcome!

Tricky, huh! For many people, it gets better from 10 weeks onwards. The stomach pain can also be a good sign : your uterus is growing. Do you sometimes wear tight clothes? That always hurts me a lot.. -

Wow, that sounds so exciting for you! I hope you can find some distraction anyway. -

@Hartje no, I'm already wearing extra loose-fitting clothes and I've already told them at work, so I can take it easy now.
I'm really looking forward to next week when I'll have had that ultrasound.
It's so nice that you're all responding, thank you so much! -

Cheer up, girl, it's probably still in place. I always tell myself: no bleeding? Then everything's fine!
If you really can't take it anymore, maybe you can come in earlier?
I really recognize that pain, and my symptoms have also decreased quite a bit. I try to be happy about that
luckily I can go again on Thursday, always counting down, hey! -

@Hartje thank you so much for those kind words!
Yes, it's really counting down!! Hopefully this week flies by.
I kept thinking that if there's no bleeding, everything is still okay, but then I read other stories saying the heartbeat isn't showing on the ultrasound anymore. Pff, what a tension it is!!
There are moments when I enjoy it, but often I'm still tense. I should really try to enjoy it more, but it's hard! -

The first few weeks are so incredibly exciting, it's the same on every forum...
so it's logical that you feel this way.. I constantly reminded myself: the health of the pregnancy really can't be judged by whether or not you have symptoms. For me, they were also much less around 9 weeks, but at 12 everything was fine too. That much less was, by the way, celebrated too early, because I had (and still have) days in between where I thought... mehhhh!!! Symptoms come and go. There are also girls who feel absolutely nothing and everything is fine. As long as you don't have serious bleeding or terrible stomach cramps, you should assume everything is okay. Trust your body! I would have loved to lie under an ultrasound machine every day, but what do you know with that? It could still go wrong the next day. Keep believing! And yes, take it easy, don't have too many appointments, and relax is extra important. I also had stomach aches around that period, from the growing uterus. Put her up and don't read too many forums -
