tell me i am a nut job

shipoopiisforme · December 2009

i am so worried something is not going to be right at my ob appt tomorrow. i rationally know this is insane. haven't had a spot of bleeding since my little episode last saturday, and saw the babies and heartbeats twice since then. just the same brown spotting i have basically had since 5 weeks.

my boobs still hurt my m/s comes and goes with the same frequency it has this whole time. so why can't i just be sure everything is going to be ok tomorrow!

i don't feel panicked or overly nervous, just unsure.

I was actually seeing a therapist during my pregnancy and I asked her why I was fine up until the night before my dr appts and I lost it. She explained that drs can really ruin your day so its completely normal to feel that way

So if you go by that, your normal and not nutty GL tomorrow and I'm sure everything is going to go beautifully!

I always get more nervous before appts. Hang in there! Wishing you the best at your appointment!

You're a nut job. No, really...I still felt anxiety at every OB appointment. Even when he was moving around inside of me and I was HUGE! I think there is a little bit of "this is too good to be true" that happens with SAIF.

Hope you're appointment is great!

I get nervous before every appointment. I barely slept before my 20-week ultrasound on Thursday. I don't have any prior losses, but I do tend to have a negative outlook a lot, and so I can always come up with lots that might be wrong.

And I don't think I'm a nut job, just neurotic. There is a big difference.

Odds are that all is well-- and you will see your two babies again tomorrow! I can't wait for your update.

::pointing and laughing:: "NUT JOB!!!" hee j/k

i can't remember exactly how far along you are (you need a ticker!! but omg do i relate with that feeling - i had it every single time. we had u/s at 6w, 7w, 8w, and 9w with our RE, then first OB appt was 9w6d. when they didn't do an u/s at that appt i about lost my shiit hahaha and every time we were waiting before those RE u/s i was beyond nervous. no reason, just normal post-IF stuff.

hang in there wacko you're doing awesome. can't wait to hear how tomorrow goes!!

thanks ladies, again it makes me feel better that others have felt the same way.

i am 9 weeks 1 day. i don't think i am going to be ok with a ticker until 12 weels, i am just that superstitious. i am so used to weekly u/s i hope i get one tomorrow. this a high risk ob so i am hoping he does. i also have a big ovarian cyst that needs to be monitored so i assume they will need to take a look either way.

i get it re: the ticker. i felt like i was tempting fate putting one up too. but i was also just so damn excited to have one i couldn't resist

you can always request an u/s if you don't automatically get one. my OB didn't intend to give me an u/s until at least 16 weeks i think. crazy madman, what was he thinking, dealing with someone who'd had multiple early losses and just came through 6 IUIs and 2 IVFs lol anyway, at my 13w3d appt (my last u/s had been with my RE at 9w) the nurse looked for the HBs with the dopplar and only found one. i started crying and freaking out and she was like "um, this is normal. we usually can only find one with twins, and even if we find two it's hard to know if it's the same one". yeah, that didn't help. i became fairly hysterical and ended up getting an u/s which of course was fine and it was so amazing to see M&D. in fact we got our first gender prediction at that appt. which was correct sorry for the trip down memory lane, you just reminded me of exactly how i felt at that time

I totally understand. I think we all do. It's scary. I was always so anxious about the baby's heartbeating until I got a doppler and could find the heartbeat on my own. And even then, I was like, What if something happened on the way over here (the OBs office) and she doesn't find anything?

Even after you start feeling kicking, then there's the fear of the times that you don't. Long story short, you won't be free of the fear until they're here ... and even then ... Well, you know how it goes.

You'll be fine tomorrow. All of you. Good luck anyway!
