Pregnant after 35

I know I should not complain

Ok so I had an US last Friday with the technician saw heartbeat, she said that I probably would not get back to me until this week.  Well I have been so busy that I totally forgot, yeah, I am a teacher 1st grade plus teach a college class one day a night. So busy.  I thought about it yesterday so I called today and they got back to me and just said everything was fine.  I was a bit upset, did not tell me heart rate or anything just all is good.  Just a bit upset I had to wait a week for that and now a week later so much could have changed.

What I should not complain about is I have no MS, I am not complaining about that I so know how lucky I am.  But.... lol just makes me worry too.  I am bloated, and the breakouts on my neck and chin OMG, worse now then ever before. They are the sore under the skin ones. oh yeah the emotional and irritability is so bad!!!  I know I should not complain but I so worry about miscarriage.  Can anyone tell me symptoms of miscarriage? I am assuming that I would know if I had one or if things were "not right"?

This is my first and for the most part I am trying to go with the flow and not worry but you know it is hard.

Thanks for listening and sorry about my rambling!!! LOL

  • It is very hard not to worry about so many things while pregnant. This is my first as well and I remember back in July and August worrying about that type of stuff too. It's hard not to worry but try no OVER worry. Just try to do some things that keep you relaxed; whether it's prayer, meditation, reading a book, listening to music, listening to an audio book, whatever. Before you know it, you will be 7 or 8 months pregnant and almost ready too roll. :-)

    And as far as complaining, don't feel bad about that. There's so many discomforts that we experience in pregnancy that regardless of what anybody tells you about "the joys of pregnancy".  Don't feel bad about voicing your discomforts.

     aww thanks that was a nice post.  Yeah I am so busy during the week that I really do not have time to think or worry and I am so happy no MS since I am in a 1st grade classroom. I need to read more I think, I fall asleep by 8 so I dont get to do much in the evenings. LOL

  • Sounds like things are going well so far so congrats!   Don't worry about miscarriage if you don't have any bleeding or cramping.  Of course that is not what happened with mine but generally those are the signs.  Try to relax and enjoy it :)

  • I agree with pps. Just take a deep breath and go for the ride! Enjoy being pregnant as much as you can.

    At my U/S, the tech was able to tell me the heartbeat, but she wasn't allowed to tell me if that was good or bad-- only a doc can do that, so really, it could have been very nerve-wracking to know without having the doc around to say "that's a normal heartbeat!"

    All the uncomfortable signs are good signs, so like pps said-- only worry if you have excessive cramping and bleeding. Your body has got this under control, even if you feel like it's time to panic!  LOL

  • With my miscarriage, I had a little brown spotting on a Saturday morning. Sunday I just felt weird, off for some reason. Sunday night as we were going to sleep, I told my husband it felt like I had done sit ups. My abdomen was sore, I wasn't in pain and there was no cramping. Just sore. The next morning I had some bright red spotting, but only when I wiped. I went to work, and had consistent mild cramping. It was never intense, it just never went away. Went to the doctor, and they confirmed the worst.

    Everyone is different. But unless you are bleeding and cramping, assume everything is going seimmingly!

    And out of the five ultrasounds I've had, I was only given the heart rate at two of them.

    Stay sane!! Be grateful for lack of severe nausea and morning sickness!! I am so thankful I am not teaching this quarter those lectures would have been a disaster!!
