Freak out freak out

akraxner

Ok am I the only one who starts to freak out every time I read someone else's freak out?  Today I literally got so freaked by one post that I called my OB and asked them to order an hcg level just to see if things are ok.  I have my appointment in 6 days, think I could wait until then to make sure all is well?  Nope.  Had to check the blood now.  Now I'm going to be freaking out until tomorrow morning when I get the results.  Ugh! 

 Ok, sorry for my rant.    (Controlling breathing...wanting a xanax)

This is why sometimes I don't bother reading certain posts based on their title, or when I start reading a post and I think it'll create negative thoughts, I stop reading.

You just have to remember that we often hear the extremes on these boards. While there may be ten posts about people spotting, you don't get a lot of posts talking about not having spotting and everything being fine. Try not to freak yourself out and don't borrow trouble. Every pregnancy is different!

Excellent advice, Kelsea!! Op, take a deep breath People post about their worries and about the rough times because they need support and advice. If everyone who has had 0 issues so far posted an update each day, we'd have a million posts saying "hey, I'm still all good over here!" ... offer support to those having troubles, and don't allow yourself to get too worked up (I know to some extent it happens, but remember every woman and every pregnancy is different!) If you know a post might bother you, try to avoid it.
