i should no better

[mommyoftwoangels]

i'm 24, have two angels of my own. have been pregnant 4 times. 2 live births, 2 miscarriages. 1 miscarriage different father. so you'd think by now....i'd be alittle less paranoid?? nah. i have managed to make it to six weeks....and 1 day without going crazy thinking i'm going to miscarry. am already having morning sickness, but am not quite sure if its actual morning sickness or withdrawal effects of stopping depression medication. the bbs are alittle sore....but i actually occasionally check to make sure they still hurt.... told ya i was going crazy. i want to know how to make it threw these agconizing weeks without going off the deep end. i know the risks of miscarriage are low. we actually have higher chance of everything going right than wrong.....but having hard time waiting for my 10-12 weeks to be up......help me? what are my chances that everything is ok....

I feel your pain. I am going through the same thing. I have almost no symptoms and I am so worried. I went in for my 3rd beta this morning so I should have the results this afternoon. I just pray they continue rising like they should be. I think I will probably be a bit nervous until I'm actually holding my baby :)

this morning could barely stomach to brush my teeth. nausua is really kicking in. i'm still paranoid. every cramp....i'm scared. when the morning sickness wears off i think my symptoms disappeared....only few more weeks till in the clear....going by so slow...

[mommyoftwoangels]

i feel pretty good about everything today. woke up feeling very queasy and couldnt even stomach my breakfast. although i was starving. am so excited!!

correction, my first miscarriage was a first pregnancy miscarriage

[mommyoftwoangels]

my first mc was a first miscarriage. which my dr said was very common. that my body was just preparing itself for pregnancy....i had two live births after that, and my second mc was different father....dr again said that in that case the problem could have been with the father and not with me since my history had two live births. he claims that if i would happen to miscarry there isnt anything that could be done and it happens so often in first trimesters that he doesnt typically see them till second af is missed. which i understand. however if i did start spotting or cramping severly he would see me immediately!!!

I would think since you have a history of m/c's that they would see you sooner. My dr. wanted me to come in right away..just to make me feel better and to check my numbers.

crampiness is wearing off....was really nauseas this morning....dry heeves. yuck. the bbs hurt but not that bad. only bothers me if i'd get hit in one. feel heavy when i lose the bra. and at night they  hurt the worst. i am praying for a happy ending. first drs appt isnt till dec 1st. feels like an eternity away. :-(

i cramped all through my first pregnancy.  i cramped a little earlier this week but they seem to have stopped.  my BB still hurt like hell.  i had one more test so i took it this morning and it was darker than the control line!  so i know my hcg is going up and I am sooooo freakin' happy!  i go back on wednesday for another beta and then my first ultrasound is november 30 - soooooo far away!  

well - off to a wedding, and hoping that i don't puke.  my doctor gave me some night time nausea medication and day time too. the daytime doesn't really work, but the night time one knocks me out, so i guess it works!  

hope you ladies have a great day!

I've noticed cramping for the past two days now..I just keep telling myself that if it happened before the m/c that I wouldn't be worrying about it because it is normal to cramp.

[mommyoftwoangels]

feeling alittle crampy tonight....scaring me a bit. bbs still sore, and i still feel queasy all the time...so i am hoping all is well. i know that what will be will be....but it doesnt make these first few weeks any easier...

[mommyoftwoangels]

thank you for all the positive thoughts and suggestions. everything is well so far. no scans yet. i dont see dr till dec 1st. and my doc does not do an ultrasound till between 18 and 20 weeks. i am hoping though that maybe they'll be able to pick up hb on doppler and i can quit worrying as much. thanks all!

hi there and congratulations.
Time flies even when we think that goes slow. Soon you will be ?on the second trimestre and you will be able to relax more. Anyway the doctors allways said that as soon as you see a heart beat the chances of miscarriage drop considerably.
Have you had your scan already?
the best of luck

I have had 3 live births and one m/c 15 months ago. I'm so happy and nervous and scared all at the same time. I keep telling myself that it's not fair for this baby or giving him/her a fair chance if all I do is worry. Good luck! Everything's okay..try to enjoy every minute of your pregnancy.

Try to occupy your time with a hobby, when you find yourself dwelling on the "what ifs" find something else to do. give the bathroom a good cleaning, take a nice walk in the fall breeze, play a game with your kids and add some silly rules to it, just do your best to rear your thoughts into another direction. Unfortunately your not going to be able to forget and just stop being afraid completely, realize that its okay to worry its what good mommies do for their children.  you aren't crazy, you said it yourself, odds are better of everything being okay then of it not. Try to enjoy your pregnancy, you've made it further then a lot of women only dream of. Keep us updated, this forum is a great way to occupy some of your time so congrats and welcome! : )
