trying to deal with fears

Sue&Pasquale · July 2009

I am going Tuesday for an ultrasound and then an appointment after. if all is good the RE will relsease me to my OB/GYN. I kind of wish I was with my ob/gyn because he said he would monitor me with bloodwork every week and alot of ultrasounds. I havent had bloodwork in a couple of weeks.

I cant wait for Tuesday in one way, but sadly I am setting myself up for them to tell me I miscarried again or the baby is gone and i will miscarry. its sad that I feel this way but I do.

the first one was 5 weeks and the second was about 6 weeks. So I just have it in the back of my mind that babies don't survive in my body for longer than 6 weeks.

but I have all the symptoms still so I am trying to think of that. I just was traumatized from last time. not knowing something was wrong for almost 6 weeks.

I know today I am pregnant and love my baby. But I cant help but feel so stressed out that something will be wrong tueday.

we've all been there, it's normal to have fears and worry. I hope Tuesday comes quickly and brings you only good news. hugs and GL on Tuesday!

I'm feeling the same way today Sad Unfortunately I don't think anything will quell our fears. ITs good your OB said he'd keep a close eye on you!! I'm in the military and our docs won't do crap, even if you've had upteen million M/C's. I've had 3 and testing has showed nothing to be wrong with either DH or me, so they won't do anything special. I always get nervous at my U/S too. Just take a deep breath, cry if you need to, talk to your RE about your feelings....I know I plan on telling the nurse/doc at my 1st appt ( only a high risk screening I won't see the real doc until late august!) But I plan on harping them for the earliest possible appt. And I plan on having a VBAC, which means I get to go see CIVILIAN doctors...thank god!

((hugs)) Im sorry you're so stressed today, I wish there was a surefire way to make us feel better, but i don't even know where to start!

I wish I had some words of wisdom but, i don't becasue i still experience the same thing. right now I'm freaking baout my Big Us on Monday. Big Hugs!!! I hope the week flys by and you can see your little bean again and have a little relief. The only advice i can give is to take it one day at a time and not to look to far into the future.

I think that's totally normal. I was so excited for my u/s and then when I got there I just didn't want to know anymore for fear it would be bad. Have faith...especially with your symptoms. You'll feel so much better as each mini milestone passes. I'm still worried but every appt I feel a little more relieved. Good luck!!

I'm so sorry you're so stressed. I know just how you feel - I had 3 appointments/ultrasounds during 1st tri and before every single one, I had pretty much convinced myself that I had miscarried. It's especially tough trying to get past those milestones of when you lost previous pregnancies. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
