Can't stop worrying

wordslikeswords · August 2011

I just need someone to tell me to stop being ridiculous. Every ultrasound post I see is a baby with a heartbeat way faster than ours was (117 at 6w5d). And I don't have morning sickness today. And all I can think of is that I'm terrified something is wrong and the heartbeat was too slow and something happened. I dont think I'll be able to stop until my ultrasound on Tuesday and I just don't know what to do. I'm sorry to complain since I've already mentioned this before and you girls were all wonderful. I just wish the HB was faster

Worrying is just going to drive you nuts!

Honestly in the begining I think we all have something to worry about (One baby measuring smaller than the other for me at 6 weeks) Take it easy this weekend and relax. Tuesday will be here before you know it!

I completely understand. The first time I saw the HB it was 106 then it was 133 then it was 162. I was so worried that everyone's HB was fater than mine. I also do not have any symptoms except bigger boobs and some serious bloat.

I don't know what changed in the past few days but I finally feel not so nervous. I have my next u/s with my OB on Aug. 11 and I could have gone in tmrw for one last u/s with my RE and I decided to wait and have a little faith that everyone is going to work out.

Hang in there and just try to breathe, which is easier said than done! Good luck!

Thanks girls. I don't know why this is so hard for me. I guess it's just because I want it SO much and we worked so hard to get here I would just be so devastated if anything happened. Some days I can relax and then days like today I hit googlel ooking up things I shouldn't be looking up and... *sigh*. I don't know why I thought the worrying would be less during pregnancy. It's definitely not and I just want to know everything is OK and I am so grateful for support from you girls. My family thinks it's just me and I'm out of control.

Step away from google!! I think it is our normal, God-given motherly instinct to worry, we just didn't realize the worry would start as soon as we saw that BFP. I am sure everything is fine - just try to relax and trust what the docs are telling you and your own instinct. ((HUGS))

That's a totally normal hb! I'm sure your baby is just fine, hon. I know it's sooooo hard not to worry. (((HUGS)))

It's prefectly normal to be worrying esp with all that you have gone through to get to this point. However, please *try* not to worry. Your LO has a perfectly healthy hb and you should be greatful you don't have m/s today Smile

I'm not going to tell you not to worry because I worked myself into a paranoid frenzy the other day and made DH take me to the ER...yea, not my proudest moment.

We've all been through a lot to get here, so we'll never just relax and take it for granted but it is important to try and enjoy each day. Focusing on the positive pregnancy-related things every day has really helped to calm down some. We're here now and every day that passes is one more day that we're closer to holding our LOs. I think that's something to take in and be happy about. ((Hugs))
