Count Down

5 more sleeps...yupp...thats how many until I have my first scan. I am extremely nervous. My body is sending out all the "signals" that I am pregnant....but my mind is acting with caution.

I know too many story's about vanishing babies at the scan..empty sacs...I am too nervous to fully throw myself into this. And the mind is a tricky little bitch. She will let me believe I am pregnant.....

So far, my breast are really swollen. My areola have definitely gone much bigger. Blue veins are showing on my breasts. But they are not yet sore??? I am not feeling good anymore..not quite sure how to describe it..but not quite nausea..just under the weather. I am totally off coffee (my little addiction)...tea has become the choice of the day. I am constantly tired...by 10 o'clock in the morning, I could climb back into bed. ...OOOO.hhh...almost forgot. I go to the toilet 3 millions times a day. My staff are threatening to make me buy my own toilet paper...smile

I am still cramping alot...some more intense than others. Some feel like a stitch in my side. Others feel like indigestion. Some are a shooting pain down my leg. I have been reassured that this is quite normal as long as no bleeding accompanies it. It still does not feel good...some days I have such severe cramping, I almost expect to see bleeding.....

My B looked at me this morning when I jumped out the shower..and proudly announced..."My babetjies..you are like..sooooo..pregnant". My body is changing shape. I am slowly loosing my waist.

I still do not believe that this is happening..I am not even 7 weeks pregnant. How can my body be reacting so quickly.....

Anyway...5 more sleeps

It must be so strange to actually be pregnant. I was just thinking about how we go through all this turmoil of wondering, hoping, not hoping, being disappointed and we get so used to talking ourselves out of being pregnant. So when you finally are, it must be very surreal.
Although surreal, so true it is, you're very much pregnant and you have 1x healthy baby brat on board :-)
I'm so looking forward to all your updates and I'm hoping you put your scan up for all us to see.
God has carried you this far and blessed you with a beautiful baby and He says, don't fear as He has everything under control :-)

This is wonderful news, which puts tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. I am totally thrilled for you and the symtoms sound so positive. The fact that you do not have spotting is so enourmous, I thinkd you should try and relish the experience. I also advise that you stay away from any negative people as you only need to be surrounded by love and positivity.

Can not wait for you to update on you beautiful baby's heattbeat.

All the best for the next few sleeps.

Love Lorraine

You sound like every other pregnant woman I've known! I'm sure all is fine and I'm sure the scan will just confirm it.

I'm sure its easier said than done but banish all the horror stories you've read on the forum and get excited instead!

Looking forward to hearing more...

That tired feeling to me was always the most intense. And indescribable. Travers never understood how I would quite literally just pass out on the couch / desk / bed / FLOOR! ;-) Looking forward to your scan update!
