Paranoid -- a vent.

I wish I was a happier, more carefree pregnant woman.  I'm trying to enjoy this experience for as long as it lasts but I am constantly worrying about another m/c.  Every cramp and pain literally makes me stop and take note.  Does anyone else that has had previous m/c feel this way or am I crazy?

 This morning I began having a stretching pain in the center of my uterus area after peeing, and it really hasn't gone away.  It kinda hurt to cough.  I compare every cramp and pain to my previous pregnancy which ended around 5-6 weeks (which is the time frame I'm currently in now).  I know worrying isn't good for baby, and when those bad feelings creep in I try and relax by taking deep breaths and thinking positive thoughts.  But I find myself doing that more and more lately.  My husband and I always wanted a big family, but I'm thinking I'll be lucky to make it through one pregnancy!

 Thanks for letting me vent a bit!

    It is scary. I am sorry you can't enjoy it more. I hope that you will get to the point where you can relax a bit.

    I have had 2 pg and they have both resulted in 2 healthy babies. I still find myself worried. When I feel something, I think, is that blood. Am I bleeding. I think it's totally natural to be worried but try not to let it take over. I know, easier said that done.

    You are not the only one! I have had several m/c as well and worried. I want to be so happy and joyful about being pregnant again but I am so afraid of being set up for disappointment one more time. I am just taking it one day at a time and relaxing as much as possible and enjoying the moment.

    I understand!  I spent my first couple weeks very nervous.  I went in to see my PCP after cramps and everything was fine.  Then I had some bleeding after sex, talked the doctor again, everything was fine.  Last week I had my first OB appointment (at 6w4d) and since then, I'm relaxed.  I still have sme symptons that can be annoying, but I've managed to get over the anxiety.  Fingers crossed that you get more relaxed as you go, too.

    You are definitely not crazy.  I had a miscarriage in November and now analyze every little thing that's going on with my body asking myself is this or that normal.

    After two years of trying and one miscarriage, I've decided to count it as a blessing that we are finally pregnant again and take it one day at a time.

    I was excited when I took the HPT, but found myself not wanting to get too excited.  What has helped me over the last few days is the fact that I've decided to lean into it.  I talk to the baby and encourage it to hang around and meet it's awesome parents.  I feel we have an agreement. LOL. Let yourself relax and fall in love with this baby. 

    Fear is the absence of faith. Have faith in yourself and God.
