Strange but good :) (*men ED SH*)
« on: May 10, 2013, 06:20:45 PM »
 Hi,
I've not been on here much at all for a while, which I think is a good thing for me as I'm not feeling the need for it (although I still feel bad for not offering support to others,  :blushing: ).  However I've had some good news recently which I wanted to share with you guys - I'm pregnant  ;D  It's still very early days, so I'm trying to be careful about how many people I tell, but we're just so happy and excited it's really difficult! 

Soon after I found out I had one of the wierdest feelings - I was grateful to my body, I wanted to thank it for doing such an amazing thing after everything I've put it through.  It made me realise that I'm normally in a permanent battle against my body, fighting it and feeling angry with it.  Being grateful to it felt shocking.  But I'm trying to work with it now, even with food - morning sickness has kicked in big time and the only way to stop it is to eat, mostly carbs, pretty much constantly which is such a massive 'NO' for me for as long as I can remember!  It's not easy but I'm trying.

I have my first appointment with the midwife in 2 weeks, and am trying not to think about the fact that I'm almost certainly going to be weighed, or the fact that I have a relatively recent scar on my arm.  I *know* those things aren't going to be the prime concern for the midwife, but I am worried about what she will ask  ::)

Anyway, I wanted to share my news and to thank all the people who have supported me on here over the years, you're all amazing  :hug2:

Oh Mirrhi! This is amazing! ;D ;D


I can understand the worry and so will the midwife, if you were to tell her that you're concerned. She'll be wanting to make sure that you and little one get the best care, and that is all.


I think you're wonderful. :) :hug2:

What fabulous news Mirrhi!  Congratulations to you both!!! :D  :hyper:


Midwives are pretty clued up and if they feel unable to cope with any aspect of your care, there is generally a midwife on the team who specialises in MH issues, so try not to worry too much.   :hug2:  Just be honest if she asks about your scars.  Say that yes, you have had some problems, but are getting help with them / would like some help with them, and I'm sure she will be very supportive xx
