Confession: I feel like I've killed my baby

lilmgirl

Anyone else feel like they haven't done ALL that they could possibly do to make sure they get a sticky baby? 

I still workout, not as hard as I usually do, but my heart rate still gets up to around 160-180 bpm at times.  And I still don't "feel" pregnant which makes me paranoid until that first appt.  (not for another week).  I guess that's really all I've done, but I'm wondering if I've done too much and it's too late now.

I do the occasional yoga or pilates, got some prenatal ones to switch into, but I don't typically get the cardio going up like that so I don't know how hard your supposed to work out when pregnant.  However, I'm always paranoid that I'm going to expose the baby to something since I work in an emergency room.

I feel this way too!  I ate deli meat before I knew I shouldn't, I have not been resting as much as I should, I continue to work out and I have no symptoms except for the bloat and huge boobs...

My first appt isn't for 2 weeks and I am toying with the thought of calling my dr.

I say call your doc - if nothing else, it may give you peace of mind....

I have my moments of fear.  I am just feeling so good this PG (so far) that it scares me.  I'm not as crampy, probably b/c my ute knows the drill, so that scares me.  I'm just hoping to see a flicker when I go to the OB in 2 weeks.  The working out doesn't scare me, though.  I figure my body will tell me to slow down if I need to (it already kind of is).  And, I've actually been really good about taking my vits this time (b/c I'm terrified of birth defects thanks to my AMA of 35!).

I feel the same way.  I had a stomach virus last week (still getting over it) and I was pumped with all of these meds (docs say they are ok while pg) and I just feel awful for the LO having to deal with that.  Now I am worried even more! 

I am a little nauseaus but I don't really feel pg either.

GL and don't worry, you haven't overdone it and hurt the baby.

if you miscarry, odds are extremely high (90s? more?) that what you did had nothing to do with it, but rather it was an issue with the gene combinations. So try to be healthy, but really don't worry about it!!
