@angelz429 I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. We are praying so hard for you and baby. Like everyone else said, hopefully it’s a mild case, and you have no long-term effects.
I went in for an elective ultrasound today just to check up on baby. My next appointment isn’t for another 2 weeks, so I wanted some peace of mind that baby is growing. Thankfully, we saw a heartbeat of 155 and baby moving. I haven’t been able to really get attached super into this pregnancy because of previous losses. Anyone else feeling the same?
@alylove11 it definitely has taken me longer to feel attached than it did with my son (I had a loss in between ). Now that I’m starting to feel movement it’s definitely helping!
My son woke up early this morning and I was still groggy when I went to get him and slipped down the stairs (our master bedroom is in a converted attic with a really steep staircase). I’m totally fine- landed on my butt and slid but have plenty of padding down there for both me and baby lol. But now I feel like I was hit by a truck. Right butt cheek is one giant bruise, lower back is sore, and I can barely put weight on my foot. And now the anxiety is already starting to set in about carrying an infant up and down all these stairs in my house and all those what if’s. It’s dumb but we lived in a one story condo when Samson was a baby so this is totally new to me.
@alylove11 I’m in that boat currently. I’ve had 3 losses, and I have a lot of anxiety attached to pregnancy. It hinders my ability to let myself get completely attached. Like I’m attached, but I’m not, if that makes sense? It’s more of a sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop. I had this with DS2, and it eased up a tad around 28 weeks.
@kaf1788 I’m so sorry you fell and are sore/bruised. We have stairs in our house, and I walked on them like a little kid right after having DS1, so one foot and then the other onto the same step. It took a few days, maybe a week at the most, and then we were up and down them like stair walking professionals.
@kaf1788 I’m sorry you fell! That sounds painful. We have death trap stairs at my house. We have a carpeted spiral staircase. We lived here when DS1 was a newborn too. Because I had a c section I didn’t carry him up or down those stairs for a couple weeks. But once I started (ad when my husband carried him), we were the same as @makingbacon — really slow, intentional, firmly planted steps EVERY time. (I broke my wrist on an outdoor wooden staircase a few years ago, so it’s been easy to remind myself to go slow on stairs!)
@makingbacon the things we get excited about as adults 🤣
@alylove11 same boat. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t want to find out the sex. I don’t WANT to get attached to this baby as an actual person yet. If they have a sex, then they’ll have a name and it will be harder. Im not out of the woods yet, so to speak, for risk of loss yet. So, im still anxiously waiting for viability.
