This pregnancy I had every intention of waiting until 20 weeks for any scan just like I did with my third. I would get blood work if and when my midwife said I should but that’s it. I had no issue sharing I was pregnant at six weeks.
Then I was surrounded my fear that I tried very hard not to get to me but I’m not going to lie it did.
“You shouldn’t announce so early”
“Your advanced maternal age”
“It’s been awhile since you had a baby”
“You should do genetic testing”
“You should really get bloodwork”
“Your blood work numbers are high, I suggest a 12 week scan”
“Your probably having twins”
And then all the worst case scenarios and my whole algorithm turned into loss.
I kept talking myself off the ledge, praying, talking to my friends, saying trust God. But the fear kept creeping in.
I felt such immense relief when I got to go into my ultrasound today. I will say and I say this to my clients too… if you ever have fear it’s better to do the test than to have the stress ❤️🙏🏻
Thanking God for the happy news today 🥰
