Pregnant after a Loss

Does the worrying ever end?

Good Evening Ladies.  I'm mainly a lurker - especially in the past few weeks.  But, I need an outlet...or I think I may go crazy.

I have been spotting since week 5, and even with 1 ultrasound to make sure everything was progressing okay at 6 wk 4 d, and another appointment where we heard a strong heartbeat this week (at 8 wk 3 d) I am still worried sick.  The spotting has never really gone away for long, and this evening I wiped and it was much brighter (more red than pink and brown) than it has been in the past.  I don't know if I can handle this stress and anxiety for the whole pregnancy (or even trimester) - I am in a constant state of fear that something is going to go wrong b/c of last time and just when I start to feel positive my spotting picks up.  I feel overwhelmed b/c we haven't told anyone - and I have no one to vent to.    Does the worrying ever end for us PGALers?  Did you start to "enjoy" your pg. at 12 weeks?  I hate to wish away time, but I wish the next 3 weeks would pass quickly - and be uneventful. 

Thanks for listening :)

  • I have had really severe anxiety this pregnancy- it's like I keep waiting for the other show to drop. It's gotten as bad as panic attacks when I'm on my way for a heartbeat check because I'm so afraid that it's going to be bad news.

    I talked to my OB about my anxiety and she gave me some suggestions, as well as referring me to a prenatal psychopharm specialist.

    I hope you can find some strategies to get some relief from the anxiety. It is so overwhelming, and I am right there with you!

  • No, I don't think the worrying ever stops completely.  Passing milestones helps, but then you worry about different things.  I think I'll worry until the day my little one is born...and well into her childhood, teens, adulthood.  I think it's part of being a mom.

    In the meantime, take a deep breath and try to enjoy every moment you baby is with you.
