Pregnancy Limbo

Anyone else feel like they’re in pregnancy 🤰🏽 limbo while they wait for their first ultrasound? 😭 I had my first positive pregnancy test when I was almost 3 weeks, so these 6 weeks have dragggeeeeed on!

I very much feel the same. I found out a couple of days ago (4 weeks) and my appointment is 5 weeks from now. Going out of my mind here.

To be honest, it felt like that my whole pregnancy last year, so I try not to focus too much pn that feeling right now.

Glad I’m not the only one! As a first time mom the anxiety is so real waiting for that first appointment

Luckily(?) life is so busy right now that these first weeks are dragging a little less than last time! I need to decide where I want to go for care this time around and my the first appt 😬

Just had my first appt last week. It was such a relief to see baby and their lil heartbeat that I legit cried. I was especially nervous because I had almost no REAL symptoms. I kept focusing on the fact that I haven’t had a period to keep me sane. Good luck to all the mommas playing the waiting game right now.

I have to wait two more weeks for the ultrasound. Got me a little down. I was hoping to be able to confirm the presence of a heartbeat today, but we couldn't since my doctor doesn't have a scan in her office. The uterus seems to be growing at the right rate so I'm crossing my fingers that all is good.

I am in the same boat! I found out I was pregnant around 5 weeks but my first visit isn't until almost 10 weeks (still over 3 weeks from now). I feel like I'm waiting forever and having a lot of anxiety. It's my second pregnancy and had a chemical pregnancy before this one. With my first pregnancy I didn't have a ton of symptoms this early, but I can't remember exactly. So far, I had some symptoms earlier on, cramping at night, sore breasts, light nausea, but they've all eased. That's of course good, but also makes me anxious. Still no period, so holding on to that. But would definitely love any tips for the waiting!! Good luck to evy in pregnancy limbo!

@dogmama629 It's really normal to have symptoms that go up and down. You'll probably find if you've slept less, not eaten or drank enough you'll feel worse.

Honestly, the waiting seems to be a year long. But the best thing you should do is to keep yourself busy and maintain a positive mind. Congratulations!

Sometimes I think "Maybe I'm NOT pregnant" and that's the crazy part. Literally a positive pregnancy test, no period and all the symptoms. I'll probably wait till 20 wks for ultrasound too. Trusting yourself and what you feel can be hard!

First time mama here and I’m so anxious.  6w and first prenatal appointment isn’t for another 6 weeks.  I don’t really have any symptoms and am not showing which is good, but nerve wrecking as we don’t plan to tell anyone until after that first appointment.
