My body is scaring me. :(

I feel like Friday was the last day I had of really significant symptoms.  Other than the constipation and giant boobs, I wouldn't know I was pregnant right now.  I am no longer nauseous, my breasts don't hurt (they haven't really this pregnancy), and I feel like I am getting a bit of my energy back.  The slight brown spotting doesn't help either.

I have another ultrasound on Thursday, but I don't know how to stay calm until then.  I am so scared that this baby is going to die like Bryce did, and that I will have had not clue.  I don't understand why this all has to be so difficult.

I barely had any symptoms this time until I was put on progesterone and then I had those side effects. 

Remember that feeling you had with Bryce at this point of being giddy and excited? Do that this time because then you'll be giving this baby the same amount of love you did for Bryce. I know it's very very very difficult, but you know you're doing everything you can at this point. Just love this baby.

I understand being scared. I'm terrified of it happening again. I know I'm going to be a neurotic mess from about 10-16 weeks (baby died at 12w3d, we found out at 15).

Just try to stay calm until your appointment, but I know that must be easier said than done!

My symptoms started fading for a week & a half or so, & I was convinced that it was the end.  (This, of course, happened right around the same time that we lost our first LO.)  After a great u/s showing a healthy LO, my symptoms have returned. 

I've heard a lot of women talking about waxing & waning symptoms, & I think it's pretty normal.  But if you're really concerned (which I totally understand!) you can always try calling your OB's office & seeing if they can get you in sooner (it doesn't hurt to ask).

 

PgAL is SUCH a mindgame.  I'm so sorry that you're stressing right now, & really hope your next appointment gives you lots of reassurance & good news!

Just remember your worry doesn't help anything.  I get it I still feel freaked out even though I've passed my anatomy scan but I know that it is all out of my control. 

Try to enjoy!  Congrats and hears to a H&H nine months!!!

I'm sorry you're having a rough day.  I had lots of those days early on, and now the worrisome days are fewer and farther in between.  We have all been there stressing about disappearing and reappearing symptoms, so feel free to vent whenever you need.  And, don't hesitate to call your dr. for reassurance.  That is what they are there for. 

I hope you can stay relatively calm (as much as that is possible) until your appointment and that everything continues to go well for you. Also, like some of the other posters suggested, try to focus on loving and being happy about this baby.  I had to remind myself that there was nothing I could do about most of my worries, and it really helped me to tell myself that unless my dr. told me otherwise, "Today I am pregnant, and I love my baby."  I feel like I must have repeated that to myself hundreds of times over those first nervewracking weeks.

I know its scary when we don't have all the signs, but I hope all is ok (((hugs))

I am sorry that it has to be so hard.  I am sure everything is fine, but I know it is hard not to worry.  ((hugs))
