I'm feeling really low right now, have been worrying so much during this pregnancy as have had 3 previous m/c and not found out until i've had my 12 week scan. I have been naging for my scan due to this reason and just got the date through today, Thursday 15th @ 2.40pm,now i'm petrified of going. I'm worrying myself stupid over this and have been in floods of tears most of the day so far. I know I should be thinking positive but it's so hard. It's mine and my OH's first baby and I want everything to be perfect but all i can think is what if...I just don't know if i can cope with all that upset again. I'm feeling depressed, I suffered with postnatal depression after the birth of my last son but lived with it for almost 6 months before anyone noticed and i did anything about it,and I thought I had learnt to deal with my feelings but obviously not! I've kept myself inside all week even in this gorgeous weather, kept the curtains drawn and not wanted to face the world unless absolutely necessary.

Has anyone else been through this? I don't know whether to see my gp or not i really don't want to be on any medication if the baby is ok.

Sorry for going on just sometimes it's easier to talk to people who aren't close to you as don't like to pester people i know x

Hi there, I'm sorry for how you're feeling. Yes, I've been feeling the same. I've even ''banned'' myself from baby and bump for the last 3 weeks cos I was obsessing so much over everything.
I've had two m/c and am now preg for 3rd time.I've no kids so this would be my first. i'm having my scan on tuesday and feel EXACTLY the same. For the last few weeks, I've stayed indoors, not seen friends, barely got dressed some days and am feeling utterly low. I swing between hoping all will be ok at this scan and feeling certain I'll get a third run of bad news.
Some advice though: this week two friends dragged me out of the house in the sunshine and I really really had a fantastic time! I feel so much happier to have laughed/ seen mates and even forgot to be stressed.
So my advice is, even if you don't feel like it, get out there. See a friend or just have a walk. I now feel a zillion times better than two days ago and feel I can face my scan on Tuesday with a lot more strength.
Good luck and PM me any time xxxx

Thank you hun I really appreciate it not alot of people know what to say, I really hope everything goes ok for your scan on tuesday, keep me updated, as much as i wouldn't wish this on anyone it's nice to know i'm not alone. Thanks again so much x

Thank you!!Same to you, your scan is on the thursday right? Let me know how yours goes too.
I feel like I've been such a miserable, obsessive cow this pregnancy and haven't enjoyed one second of it. And if it all goes OK i know I'm gonna wish I'd lightened up a biit and enjoyed this amazing time. I haven't even dared buy a bigger bra yet - even though my knockers are about to strangle me!! I've sworn i won't buy a thing til after tuesday if all is ok.
So open those curtains, get outside and get some sunshine vitamins on your skin! i really can't tell you how good I feel just for getting out and sharing a laugh with the girls. And that can only be good for you and baby...

Keep in touch hon, as you say it's good to know we're not alone!XX

Thanks again hun...in tears at mo but gonna go out on your advice, will try and get back on thursday and let you know how it goes. Take care
