CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you!
Please pray for me on Thurs morn!
ok, just got home from docs, everything looks great!!!! i am so relieved!! i am 7wks6d today. saw the yolk sac and the heartbeat. the doc says baby is growing well. thanks to all who commented, it really does help. now maybe i can be a little more excited instead of nervous. posting a new pic of the new ultrasound too.
Toni, I'm right there with you! And yes Dawn, THANK GOD FOR THIS FORUM! LOL
I've been paranoid EVERYDAY since i found out I was prego, and I'll be 7wks on Mon, so I'm a wk behind you Toni. EVERY lil pain I feel, I think I've had a m/c. First m/c was at 12wks, and 2nd was at 5wks. I'm not really getting any morning sickness either, so that's screwing me up. I get waves of nausea and hot flashes, but that's about it. I made the mistake of reading about ectopic preg, and now I've convinced myself that my preg is ectopic, and I'm having NONE of the symptom. If my bbs aren't as sore, I think I've miscarried. Last night I had this weird pressure around my rectum(sorry TMI), and I ended up just having gas, and being constipated, but I was convinced it was the beginning of a m/c. If I stretch too hard, I think I've pulled something loose. CRAZY PARANOIA! My ONLY saving grace is that I haven't had any spotting or blood, and my last 2 m/c's started out with spotting. I am on prog suppositories for the first time, and I guess their working cause I've made it to 7wks. This coming Thurs is my 1st u/s, and I'm SO SCARED their will be nothing there, but I'm praying.......
It's really wonderful to be able to get on this site, and see that other women are going thru the exact, same thing. We're all going to be crazy till we hold our lil bundle of joy in our arms, but we should all TRY our best to be happy about our pregnancies. Easier said then done right?? If only I could take some of my own advice! :)
rukiyar-YOU ARE OUR IDOL! LOL 8days left?? How wonderful!!
We're all right behind ya!! (me being positive) :)
I know how you feel , I have had 3 previous m/c's and now I am pregnant again I simply cannot relax. I will be 12 weeks tomorrow but have the same thing as you that at night my belly is showing and in the morning it's half the size - I know it's from food and gas so I try to keep reassuring myself. Even though i will be 12 weeks tomorrow and I heard the heartbeat on Friday I am still so worried I can't even enjoy this pregnancy. My last m/c's were at 11 weeks, 14 weeks and 7.5 weeks. I have a nuchal translucency ultrasound booked June 8th and I think if all is well with that I might be able to start enjoying this pregnancy. I am just now starting to feel better physically ( nauseau definately easing up, tiredness going away etc - which of course makes the crazy part of me start to think is this bad that symptoms are starting to go away but I have to keep reassuring myself that I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and things are supposed to start getting better. This forum is such a God send!!!!
All the best
Dawn
I am feeling the same way, very paranoid that my tummy sort of "deflates" sometimes and I am not showing as much as some ladies in the first trimester (I am almost 11w). But I just read in my pregnancy book that it's normal for your tummy to fluctuate in the first trimester because of gas and such. That made me feel a lot better.
I would like to enjoy my pregnancy but it has been such a stressful experience. I feel like I am at the endge of doom. My dr told me that it's a normal part of being a mom.
I agree 100% w/Rukiyar....its sooooo tough after a m/c you dont get to enjoy it as much as other people who have not had a m/c because you do worry. Ive had 2 m/c and Im 19 wks and I swear the day of birth Im going to just go into a massive crying fit. It will be from joy and just disbelief that I have a healthy baby finally here.
Please DO TRY and enjoy every moment of your pregnancy. If you are starting out with a healthy baby you must think its going to be a healthy pregnancy. :-) I wish you much baby dust and hugs!
thank you, i guess until i reach a certain point,(holding a baby) lol i guess i'll feel this way through the whole thing.
hope all goes well for you! 9 days, wow, are you ready??
It's normal to feel the way your feeling very nervous paranoid and plain just cant get excited about the pregnancy, a loss of a baby 1st 2nd or 3rd trimester can screw your brain up for future pregnancies belive me I know I had two m/c's and have not been comfortable one day with my pregnancy and only have 9 days till my due date and still the same way your feeling right now , I picture myself in hysterics once I am able to hold my little girl and see all is okay with her. I know me telling you to take it easy and try not to stress is impossible cause your gonna do it anyway but one thing for sure this forum has helped me through a lot just having these women here who can understand us throught it all . God Bless I hope for the very best for your entire pregnancy
