I Can Only Stay Calm for So Long...

in Pregnant after a Loss

Good morning everyone. Have been away for a few days again so I'm trying to catch up.

I'd been doing really well with being calm following our NT Scan a few weeks ago. I felt a lot of relief passing our loss milestone. But now the worry is starting to creep back in bit by bit. I guess I'm physically feeling a little better than I had been, so I worry. I have my 16 week appt on Monday so I hope to hear a heartbeat, then.

Do you continue to worry the entire time?

    Yes, you do, sadly. I have found, however, that once movement starts, you worry less. You're right around the corner. Hang in there!

    Sadly...at least speaking to my experience...yes. It does get better when movement can be felt (but early on, cue the worry if LO has a quiet day). ((hugs))

    I can feel my baby move every hour and I still worry about her.  It's not as bad as it was 1st tri but the worry has never gone away for me.  I try not to worry so much that it would cause the baby stress, but I still worry.  PgAL is just hard.  ((HUGS))

    I agree with KM and Sandy.  You'll worry less but the quiet days tend to make you worry even more.  Hang in there.  Movement does really help.

    The period between my NT scan and the time I started feeling movement consistently was painful. I just kept thinking something was wrong. I think it's pretty normal for that time because your early symptoms are diminishing. I hope baby starts kicking up a storm to give a some peice of mind.

    The worry goes back and forth for me. I am pretty much a bipolar rollercaoster every day. I find time where I am able to finally be excited for this baby then there are times where I am convinced something is wrong with him. Thank God he is so active and kicks the crap out of me all day now. I swear everytime I am freaking out he kicks me really hard! That always helps ease the stress a little.

    I'm in the same boat.  My a/s is on Wednesday and over the last week I've been having minor freak outs every now and then.  I just wish I could feel the baby move around so it would calm me a little.  Of course, once I do feel the baby moving, I'm just going to be even more freaked because I'll worry that the baby's moving too much and that we'll have another cord accident.  Ugh. 

    I hope your results are fantastic on Monday and you get to hear LO's sweet HB loud and clear!

    ITA. I worry if he has a quiet day. I worry about PTL. I try to keep myself busy and hope time will fly until our EDD.

    I worry about every new milestone. Right now it is reaching viability, but I know it won't stop there. I think setting the expectation that you WILL worry till LO is in your arms helps some. Hang in there! ((HUGS))

    This last few weeks has been really hard for me as well!!!  I was for a little bit feeling some relief and comfort and pure excitement and then feared creeped back in!

    As far as worrying . . . I had another u/s today at the hospital due to cramping and pressure and worry about IC and I was terribly nervous about the u/s but all is fine and we loved see our baby girl again!

    I have come to realize I will just have a freak out moment right before u/s time and I've come to grips with that!  I hope though that it gets better for the both of us!!

    What helped ease the worry for me (til I started feeling consistant kicks) was buying a doppler - seriously a lifesaver!!
