in need of some love

in Pregnant after a Loss
Night ladies DH is OOT and I'm felling crappy. Actually crampy not crappy. Extremelly crampy I should say. I also have swollen feet :( All my symptoms have also disappeared. I know they come and go and I just saw a strong HB yesterday; but I can't help being scared. Baby #1 stopped developing the day after u/s where we saw a HB as well. Will I ever be able to enjoy this pgcy? Should I get a doppler? How early can you use one??? Please help me pray that baby bunny is ok. Thanks for reading and sorry for being needy and whiny

    Prayers for you and baby bunny! Please keep very hydrated, and hopefully that will keep cramps at bay. Not getting enough water might also explain the swollen feet.

    I'm sorry your DH is gone--I hate it when mine is out of town. It's so normal to worry, and we all would and have worried in your situation. Keep clinging to those mantras and again, drink some water. I'm sipping on some myself after feeling a bit crampy. Tomorrow is a new day!

    That's good advice for you to rest and drink some water. I can tell you that I don't think we can ever really relax until that baby is actually here. I know exactly what you mean. And we're here for you! Lots of love to you luvs!

    Hey luvs! Hang in there. Just wanted to say that I had symptoms during week 6 of this pregnancy, then the DAY of my u/s at 7w they totally disappeared! I thought for sure the u/s was going to give us bad news, but nope, there was that little baby with a flickering heart. And my symptoms never came back! I had no more m/s at all! So maybe you are lucky, or they could come roaring back anytime, you never know! ;)

    I would definitely get a doppler, but wait 2 weeks! You won't hear anything until POSSIBLY very late in your 9th week. I heard it then but it took FOREVER, and it was very scary and frustrating searching for it. In weeks 10-11 it starts to get much easier. But it helped me get through a lot of stressful days!

    I agree w/ pp.  Everytime I get crampy I drink a lot of water and rest and it always seems to help.  My only symptom was sore breasts and that came and went.  I got a doppler when I was around 9 weeks and it soothed my mind so much. It still helps if I dont feel her moving around as much as normal.  I got mine on ebay for $89 and it was completely worth it.  GL and I hope you feel better soon!

    Hi Luvs! I hope you are feeling better this morning. I can't tell you how many times I freaked out about cramps. I remember right around 6 weeks I was so convinced I was going to m/c because the cramps were so intense and constant. Definately agree with pp. Drink a lot of water and try to rest with your feet up. I also found that if I was eating a lot of salty foods it made things worse as it dehydrated me-I found I did this more often if I ate dinner w/o DH because I was going for quick and easy rather than fresh and healthy.

    I am saying lots of prayers for you and baby bunny! I know it is so hard not to be scared.

    ETA: the doppler is totally worth the money IMHO. I think it saved my sanity so many times. I still use it on days when the baby seems to be moving less than normal. Money well spent, for sure. I bought HiBebe on Amazon for about $100. I didnt try to use it until I was 10w2d and the OB was able to find the HB.

    Awww Luvs symptoms do come and go. I know I had it several times where they would go away for a few days or a week and them come back in full force. If you are having a lot of anxiety, maybe you Dr. could give you a quick U/S in a 10 days are so. I would deff. recommend a doppler. It has saved my sanity, but I really wouldn't get one until 10 weeks. Big Hug!

    Oh Luvs, all of what you are feeling is so normal and everyone has been through it. Remember this is the hardest time to get through and most importantly you are already half way through the 1st tri!!!!

    I didn't get a doppler so not sure when you can use it? I know it has given lots of girls much peace of mind so it might be a good investment for you.

    Thinking of you and remember this pregnancy isn't like the others.

    Luvs, I'm sorry you're having a rough time.  Being crampy is totally normal even though I know it can be scary.  Baby bunny is just setting up shop for a very long stay :).

    I ordered my doppler around 8 weeks and started trying it around 9 weeks.  I heard the h/b at 9w3d.  It was money well spent for me.  I tried to only let myself use it every couple days so I didn't get too obsessed.  I still use it from time to time on quiet days.

    ((HUGS))
