Dont feel pregnant
I have calmed down a bit since that last update and have convinced myself, with the help of some extensive googling, that an electric shock (especially as small as from an electric fence) is unlikely to have done any harm. I found hundreds of women saying they had the same and were fine, at all different stages of pregnancy and only found articles stating risks of miscarriage, not a single person stating it had actually happened to them. I also found lots of data about electric fences being designed to do no harm to people, and article by an electrician stating that the likelihood of current travelling though your baby is minimal due to the behaviour of electrical current, taking the path of least resistance, usually over the surface of the skin. If the current made it to the uterus it would travel through the amniotic fluid rather than baby due to its electrical conductivity, unless the current hit directly on the top of its head while it was touching the walls of the uterus.......you can imagine the odds!! All of this along with the fact that it was a week ago and theres been no bleeding or anything I think I am safe to say the chances of a problem are pretty slim.
However as you all know that certainly doesn't mean im relaxed!! just unable to stay as worried as I was when I last posted! I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow and I will definitely explain to her how very nervous I am for my scan and just really for the waiting and not knowing everything is fine. I will feel so much better when I can feel babba in there moving!! At the moment I feel a bit like a fraud....I don't fel pregnant atall!! I have sore boobs, the worst gas ive ever had mixed with a bit of constipations and feel slightly queasy at the worst. I feel like ive made the whole thing up!!

Hang in the. I know we all wish for lot\'s of symptoms but having just a few is fine too.
Hoping your apt calms your nerves.
I sometimes feel the same thing as you. I think I will be more relieved when I can feel the bean move around. Until then, I just have to trust that everything is OK!! Good luck at your appointment tomorrow.
The stress is terrible, but I hope you feel better about everything after your appt :)
