Please help snap me out of this!

  I'm struggling to be positive about this pregnancy today.  I'm analyzing every symptom or lack thereof like crazy, even though the have perfectly reasonable explanations.  I'm sure the cramping I'm having isn't from not drinking enough water the past few days, I must be having another m/c.  Same thing with the m/s easing up, even though I took my unisom last night and zofran this morning. 

I hate being irrational and negative.  I saw a healthy heartbeat last week, and have no reason to think anything but that I'll be holding a baby come August.  Ugh.  I hate having days like this.

    I had cramps and m/s here and there.  Do not overanalyze as that is not going to help you.  I know easier said than done but just think good thoughts.  I actually pray everyday for our LO as everything makes me nervous.

    I had and STILL have some of those feelings and I never went through anything like you did.  So while its distressing, know that its normal and you are doing everything right.  Its cliche on so many of the boards, especially early on, but just remember that the odds are with you and that you are pregnant today and love your baby!

    I'm not sure if you visit the Success After Loss boards but they had some mantras that helped sort of talk yourself down.

     

    "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby."
    "I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise."
    "My past does not dictate my future. A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c."--"Just because something sad is happening to another poster, does not mean it will happen to you. We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!
    "Hope does not make bad things happen" You cannot ?jinx? your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!
    And this is the hardest one: "There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if (gods forbid) it were to happen again, I know I will survive."

     

    If it makes you feel any better - at 8 weeks, 4 days pregnant (when I M/C the first time) I had an emotional breakdown.  Seriously, I called the nurse SOBBING absolutely sure that I was m/c again even after seeing the HB the week before and really good betas.  She talked me thru my numbers and made me feel a lot better...but it's still hard.

     and wanna know why we found out the sex at 15 1/2 weeks?  Because I freaked out because I was cramping again... the dr did an U/S to appease me.  I was a freak when it came to worrying.

     It will be ok.  Big hugs

    If it makes you feel any better, I had cramps up until Jack was born.  I was convinced I was having a m/s until he was big enough and active enough that I could feel him move. 

     Try not to worry too much.  I think I spent the majority of my pregnancy stressing out rather than enjoying being pregnant. 

    Congratulations Mama!!  Enjoy it!

    i had cramping for a good while after i found out. i also didn't have m/s and i started bleeding/spotting for a couple of weeks in the 1st tri.

    please don't stress. i know that's easier said than done, but just try to take it 1 day at a time. ((hugs))

    I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said.  Until you really start feeling the baby move, I think it's really hard not to worry - especially with the coming and going of the symptoms.  But, just keep hanging in there and try not to stress (yeah, I know, easier said than done....)  Hope today is a bit better for you!

    I can't add anything either, but I know even late in my pregnancy I was terrified that something was going to happen.  I think it was because I had a friend who's baby passed away at 8 mo pg, and she had to deliver him.

    I'm so sorry you're feeling this way.  It's completely understandable and I think every pregnant woman goes through it.  There's nothing that I can say to make it better.  Hugs to you!
