UPDATE Tailspin

mork · April 2013

Update in replies!

I'm going into a bit of a tailspin. I woke up at 430 and have been standing here watching DD for 45mins. She worried me a little because she was half face planted when I checked on her. I've tried to sit down and semirest, but every time I do the noise causes her to stir and I can't tell if her nose is free and she's able to breathe without getting up again.

Realistically I know she's fine, but the reality that I'm probably losing yet another baby has put me in uber protective mode. She's probably the only baby I'm ever going to get, and I can't let anything happen to her. Even if it means standing here and not sleeping.

I don't want to be that overprotective mom, but right now I can't help it. I feel like I'm going to lose her too.

Oh Mork, I've been thinking about you all night. (((Huge Squishy Hugs)))

DD has recently started sleeping on her belly and it freaks me out to no end. She STTN, but I do not. I'm up 2-3 times a night checking on her to make sure she's still breat

Big hug for everything you have been going through. It is totally normal to be overprotective and worry too much. That is what mommies do, right? It is scary when they start to sleep on their stomach. My LO has been doing it since

I completely understand the tailspin and the hovering. I'm still trying to hold out hope for your pregnancy, but when I was going through my post rainbow loss, and periodically since, I was extra overprotective of D. Snuggles with him were the best ther

One thing that helped me was a video monitor. Then, I can see what position DD's head is in throughout the night and go in if she is faceplanted (which has only happened twice in the seven months she has been sleeping on her t

Huge hugs to you. Your feelings are totally understandable. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

<<Hugs>> I can totally appreciate what you are going through - had a similar situation in January when we had our 2nd loss. I hung onto DD for dear life, had trouble sleeping, all kinds of catastrophizing (is that a word?) about

I'm sorry that your current pregnancy is so unsure right now and that it is causing you to worry about your dd. Maybe getting one of those monitors that goes under their mattress would make you more comfortable? The ones that can sense their breathing/hea

Big hugs my friend.

Matthew freaked me out when he started sleeping on his tummy too, but I eventually became ok with it. I put him down on his back and he pretty much immediately flips to his tummy. It's tough to get used to though.

And I

Thank you ladies so much. I think you're right, the new tummy sleep thing has got me weirded out on top of the pg issue stress. She had just been sleeping on her side since we ditched the swaddle last week. If she does tummy again I think I'll look into a
