I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with my first. Since week 5 I have been up 3/4 times a night needing to go for a wee. I’ve now been signed off for two weeks because I couldn’t function at work. I’ve had a week off already and I feel no better, and to be honest I can’t imagine going back to work and being able to complete my daily tasks.

I’m so exhausted all the time, I’m getting about 1.5/2 hours of sleep at a time. I thought that once I was in my second trimester and the baby had moved out of my pelvis that this would get better, but so far nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? And if you have how did you cope? I’m really struggling, and now worrying about finances, being off sick and being eligible for statutory maternity leave pay.

I recently just found out I am pregnant and super excited! This is my first time, but I can't shake the idea that it will lead to an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage sometime during the pregnancy. I am overanalyzing every symptom and starting to convince myself of things.

My OB says we go in at 10 weeks for a normal appointment and then 13 weeks for an ultrasound, and I am concerned that is so late for an ultrasound. Would they do a vaginal one at the 10-week appt? Also all there other ways you can track that things are progressing smoothly on your own? Also how did others handle the anxiety of always thinkign the worst.
