July 2014 Moms

Anybody else freaking out for no apparent reason?

I'm 5w5d with hardly any symptoms. I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks and was thrilled and so relaxed.  Now I'm a paranoid mess but everything seems ok.  My hCG levels were 1700 last Monday and I'm getting new blood work back tomorrow so hopefully it's significantly higher.  I just can't wait for my first sono.  I feel like I'm walking on egg shells!  Anybody else?

Re: Anybody else freaking out for no apparent reason?

  • I felt really good until recently. Today, I'm sitting at my desk trying to decide if I'd rather barf or go back to bed.

  • I am! My new dr only did one beta to confirm pregnancy. It was 24 which we all know is crazy low. However since its my first cycle off of 8 years of continous yasmin (no periods), she said I probably ovulated late. I had a LOT of cramping the last few weeks and she pretty much told me to stop worrying because it wont help anything when I asked for a second beta. I already know I'm going to dislike this dr if shes not willing to order me a blood test, that I pay a copay for (And pay a monthly fee to have an HMO) for peace of mind. My "old" dr did a few weeks of betas with every pregnancy but this one is already considered "high risk" by my HMO so I can't see my old dr who is a midwife. I had leep in August to remove cerivcal and uterine cancer... I havent even gotten the all clear yet as my followup biospies were due next week! oops! Plus I have pretty bad lupus. 

    So the cramping has subsided, the energy levels are a tad bit higher, my mood swings are getting better (or maybe everyones just stepping back), and I have no morning sickness so it has me in full out paranoid mode. The only thing that was making me feel a BIT better was taking pregnancy tests and watchign them get darker but they cant get any darker and the digital with weeks made me feel awesome because it went from 1-2 weeks to 3+ weeks in a week however now I'm just in a blah rut. LOL. I think I will be happy if I get morning sickness however with every pregnancy I've gotten it less and less so I'm not holding my breath. I had it BAD with my first, mild with my second and just waves of nausea with my 3rd. AHHH hurry up Nov 27th!!!! LOL
  • Haha I'm also sitting at my desk and can't concentrate on anything. Good thing I work with my family or I'd probably be fired!  I feel like a crazy person.
  • Last night I was positive I was dying in a plane crash. I shouldn't have watched Flight during a delay that had me stranded at the airport.

  • Ok I feel better. Got my blood work back and hcg was at 8000 on Saturday.
  • I just freaked out earlier and realized theres no way in hell we can afford day care, so I guess we're going to have to teach our dogs to babysit, Lassie style...
