Keeping busy?

in Pregnant after a Loss
I've just happened to be on spring break this week and I'm nervous about getting back to work on Monday, partly about dealing with morning sickness while teaching, but mostly about waiting through this scariest time before my loss milestone (mc at 8 wks). I'm hoping that work will actually be helpful, and will make the time pass more quickly. I felt similarly nervous about going back to work after my losses, and both times it was actually a helpful distraction. I hope you all have something to help you keep your PgAL brain occupied besides the big worries. 

What is your best distraction this week?

    Good luck to you @birch113. My mc was under very similar circumstances. Light spotting - then u/s with everything looking great - then miscarriage that night. It makes it very hard to be reassured by any of the dr. visits, doesn't it?

    Nothing seems to fully distract me from the worry/joy, but work does do most of the heavy lifting in this case.  I tend to get thru the days a little easier when working.  On the weekends we have been working on the house alot would is also helping.  I hope school works as your disctraction and week 8 gets here quick!

    I have been really worried and trying to take on massive projects to distract myself. So far I planted a garden, cleaned out my closet, threw an over-the-top birthday party for my husband, cooked many elaborate meals (crab legs!)... and now I'm planning a shower and bachelorette for my GF. If I don't calm down soon I'm looking to have the most productive 40 weeks of my life.
