Morning Paranoia (again...)

thewayiam

I am trying to talk myself down right now. I mean, a few days ago I was so sick and exhausted. Then it got better, I got worried, you reassured me (thank you) and I felt a little better. But this morning, I woke up around 4:45 and I just don't feel pregnant anymore. I don't feel swollen. I am not sick. I don't know yet if I'm tired... I keep feeling myself up and both the swelling and the crazy boob pain I had (which were intense) are gone.

This is what happened just before our missed m/c. I am trying not to freak out. And I know it must be annoying to read another post like this... but I just need to know:

When you say your symptoms come and go - when they go are they GONE or just subsided a bit?

U/S on Tuesday. I am so scared, now.

EDIT: I just went back and read my last paranoid post. Your replies helped me once again, so thank you.

Same exact week as you it's like I was totally normal again I would squeeze my poor breasts so hard just to see if maybe they hurt. I felt the same way as you and even talked to my doctor about it. She assured me it was normal and snuck me in for an u/s to see LO. I know it's hard to remember but they so come and go and your getting to a point where some people's symptoms get a lot easier...hugs!!!

I am so sorry you are having a rough morning ((HUGS)). FWIW, the few symptoms I did have faded at 8-9 weeks. I am pretty sure the only reason my boobs were sore was because of my constant poking and prodding to check the degree of soreness .

This PGAL stuff is no joke. I hope you can find a way to stay busy through the weekend, Tuesday is so close! FX for a great scan and hope you get the reassurance you need!

thewayiam

Thank you, Aluenna, Jules & Ash. I really appreciate your responses. It helps a lot. I don't think I'll get in for an u/s before Tuesday though I could try. I will try to be less paranoid and more positive, which might be a little easier following your input, above.

Hope you have a great day & weekend.

I wonder if losing symptoms at 8-9 weeks is a normal thing, because it happened to me too. And I know I've read lots of posts on here about girls losing symptoms around that time. I would enjoy the brief break- my symptoms came raging back after a day or two, and I'm sure yours will too!

I'm taking Zofran for nausea and honestly since I started taking it I have been freaking out because my symptoms are gone...I haven't thrown up in 3 days so I have convinced myself I am miscarrying...we just saw the h/b last Thursday and I don't have another appt until the 23rd but I am considering calling my OB next week to see if she'll do a quick check and make sure the baby is ok.  You're not alone I promise you that!! The only thing that is giving me some comfort is the fact that I have to get up every 2 hours to use the potty at night.  So hopefully that means baby is growing!!  You're in my T&Ps though because being Pgal really is emotionally exhausting!!

Sending you lots of {HUGS}!

Yes at 8w4d my symptoms were GONE. I had a doc appt that day and I was so freaked out that my doc did a quicke literally 30 sec u/s, found LO and the HB and said see everything is fine and told me to enjoy feeling good because it probably won't last and boy was she right!

All of my symptoms disappeared two days ago too. It's freaking me out. I am constantly poking my boobs to try and "make" them sore again. No more nausea like I had had, I only woke up once last night to pee. ( I had been getting up 3-4 times per night before.)

I posted about this two days ago and the wonderful ladies here reassured me that this is completely normal and doesn't mean something is going wrong. 

We just need to remember that this a different pregnancy and today we are pregnant and love our baby. 

I hope your day gets better and some of your anxiety subsides.

*hugs* I know this PgAL thing is SO scary. I'm right there with you. My symptoms have subsided a bit. Are you having anything during the day? It might be a super small twinge here or there or a slight feeling of nausa when you lie down? Take solice in that. *hugs* I'm so there right now. Most everything is gone. My doctor has sceduled me for a visit every two weeks she says until I'm ok with this pergnancy. She also says reassuringly that it's ok to be a mess worried about losing your baby because we all know how quickly the rug can be pulled out from under our excitement. Can you ask your doctor about coming in earlier for appts or less time between them? My doc also says that I [we] mayb not be reassured until we can feel the baby move or even when the baby is out and in our arms. *hugs* You are so not alone!

This morning I woke up feeling "normal" except for what I believe is the beginnings of a sinus infection. It was alarming to feel ok. I usually eat something in bed and then get up. Today I didn't, I just got up and I was ok. Which made me nervous. I think it's very normal to have symptoms go away AND to be wigged out about it.

Take a deep breath and try to relax a little, I know it's hard but maybe do something to distract yourself for a little while.

I woke up feeling the same way. Today I don't even feel pregnant. When symptoms come and go for me they definitely leave all together. Lately I've been so nauseous I can't function- today I'm fine. Just relax no symptoms is much better than some of the other scary ones!

*HUGS* I know how you feel, I keep having these flashes paranoia that start a bad spiral of thoughts. I just try to remember that the come and go is normal and lots of deep breaths. Its completely normal to be anxious through this after everything you've been through. Go easy on yourself hon.

I woke up this morning feeling better than I have in the last month, which is terrifying, but I just remind myself how horrible I felt last night.  And if it's any comfort, my breasts are really only sore when I wake up in the morning, and I have read in several places that sore breasts are one of the first symptoms to diminish.  Here's to hoping it's just our little break from the blah!

MommyandKate

No worries- just wait until the end of the day today and I bet you'll be swollen as all get out   At least, that's my experience.  But yes, sometimes the symptoms just all completely go away for a few hours and I feel totally normal again.  Then they come back.... but less and less over the weeks.  I'm hoping by July I'll feel normal most of the time.

I lost my symptoms in week 8 and really freaked out since I had a missed m/c too.  But everything is fine!  The boob soreness came back after a few days and the nausea (mild) returned around week 10.  I know it is SO HARD to stay positive.  Just remember that this pregnancy isn't the same as your prior pregnancies.

msBlackandGold

Same as PP. My symptoms went away for a week, totally freaked me out...but then they came back full force. Enjoy the break and stay positive.

I understand completely.  I didn't really have many symptoms before and still have very little.  My nips were a little sore at first - but as of last week that stopped.  Pretty much I'm just tired and have to pee a lot (but I drink tons of water, so I don't even know that I'd consider that a symptom) - oh, and my face is breaking out (but again - not that unusual).  It could be that your body is just adjusting the blast of hormones and settling in for the long haul (or, maybe it's just the calm before the storm).

I won't tell you not to worry, because that's an impossibility - you're human and you've been through something horrible and it's like an awful deja vu.  I would call the doc and see if you can't get in and get a quick u/s for reassurance.  I know you said it pry won't be possible - but I would ask, the worse they can say is no.  My doc told me that she totally understands how crazy this can get when you've had a loss and said that she has placed standing orders to give me an u/s or doppler check whenever I ask for one.  I really hope that you start feeling crappy soon and I'm sorry this is so difficult.  ((HUGS))

Wanted to send ((HUGS)). I know Tuesday feels forever away- try to take it one day at a time (sometimes 1 hour at a time) it will get here!

I too have gone through this many of times and my m/s seems to be working it's way out for the moment anyways so I am constantly feeling myself up to make sure my breasts are sore: 

The #1 thing I've noticed is in the am mine are barely sore at all!!  But as the day progresses it does get much worse and by evening they are very sore so 1st thing in the am try not to worry too much!  Also, I think I'm showing this early but in reality I know mine is just bloat so many of times I have woke up in the am and my tummy looks normal so again I've freaked out but as the day progresses that too changes!  I know everybody is different but I just for myself have noticed "am" is not the best of times to do a check because I just have the symtoms to such a degree as I would later in the day!  Unless my m/s is in full force but lately it's not been.

It's so hard to focus on anything but the "what if's" and I don't think anyone understands that until you have had a loss!  But try to stay positive ( I know that's not easy sometimes) but as another stated "just breathe".  You'll be okay!

 And don't worry about the posting and be paranoid.  That's what everyone is here for and those who've been through this understand every emotion and every freak out moment because all of us continue to have them regardless I think no matter how far anyone is in their pregnancy!!

flowersarah79

Completely with you on the paranoia- I am almost 12 weeks and I'd say my symptoms subsided (some days like NONE some day just a little at night) at about 9 or 10 weeks.  It's a little scary but I just focus on eating well and getting rest and other than that I can't really control what's going on in there.  I have my next u/s on June 9 so I hope it goes well.  My T&Ps are with you- I know what it's like to worry about most everything!
