How to distract myself until first appointment?

Question

So I’m awaiting my first midwife appointment (first pregnancy) and as you can imagine my mind is playing up 🙃 I’m almost 6 weeks so will have 2/3 weeks left to go - anybody got any tips to stay distracted and calm up until I get my first appointment and ultrasound?

Answer

It will go quicker then u think before u no it u will be in the delivery room about to give birth so don’t rush it enjoy ur pregnancy cos honestly baby will be her before you no it x

Answer

I found out super early, when my period was due but it was implantation instead! Then had weeks to wait! But I did get a very early scan at around 6/7 wks as had a very light bleeding and was concerned, so the midwife referred to me the early pregnancy unit for a scan. Saw the heartbeat then! ☺️ nearly 23 wks now and the last two months have gone so much quicker!!

Answer

Trust me it will go by faster than you think! I found out at 4w4d I was pregnant and was seen at 8w3d I had my 20w scan 2 days ago and I can’t believe I’m over half way through now and baby is kicking, it honestly goes so fast! Just write down any questions you may have for the midwife and if your partner isn’t attending first appointment make sure you know their family and medical history as midwife will ask x

Answer

same here, I'm 4+5 and not seeing the midwife until 9+0! I'm thinking I might suck it up and pay the £89 for an early scan at around 7 or 8 weeks though. I want to see that heart beat. I'm jealous of all the Americans with their early scans!!

Answer

I just had my booking appointment this morning and I was overwhelmed with information. I recommend writing all your worries and questions down before you go in because your next one won’t be until 16 weeks (hospital scan in between). 
Good luck 😊

Answer

I found out at 3+6 and waited till 8+4 for my appointment. I’m now 23 weeks and it has flown by! I have a six year old so I didn’t really struggle to find stuff to do 😂 you could try reading or colouring (I’m designing a canvas for our little one on my downtime between work and family) x

Answer

I don't know how I managed to cope. I found out at 6 weeks, went to the doctor and waited a further 6 weeks until I contacted my doctor again. Turns out they had forgotten me and then had my first midwife appointment and scan a couple days later. I just kept myself busy by looking at baby stuff tbh and doing lots of reading.
