Stupid PGaL Dreams...

MoreThanSparrows08 · July 2014

So, I've been ever so slightly worried in the back of my mind that I could get bad news at my appointment this afternoon. I've no reason to be worried, as my only loss was at 6 weeks, and I am well beyond that now (14 weeks).

Last night, my dream went like this:

I went to bed the night before my appointment and dreamt that at my appointment, we were unable to find a heartbeat via doppler, so they did an ultrasound, and found that the baby had quit growing around 11 weeks (my last appointment was at 10 weeks). Then, when I went to my appointment, that's exactly what they found - no heartbeat, and the u/s showed no growth after about 11 weeks, and no heartbeat. DH and I decided to give my body another week or so to see if it would take care of things naturally, but it didn't, so when we went back to discuss our options, DH didn't want me to do the d&c, but I didn't want to deal with losing the baby at home, plus I wanted to know what happened to it.

I don't know what was decided, because I woke up, but it was very disconcerting, to say the least. The rest of the night, all I could think about was all the people I'd have to untell and explain the whole situation to.

Anyway... any extra T&P's you have lying around would be greatly appreciated. My appt. is at 3:30 this afternoon. I'm pretty sure it's just going to be a doppler check and a quick fundal height measurement, but since this is only my 2nd visit to this doc, I could be wrong.

Thanks to all of you for reading this! Many ((hugs)) to all of you! Have some special treats!

The PgAL brain comes and goes. Scary that you had a dream within a dream within a dream though ... enough to definitely mess with your mind. But, better for you to deal with it in your dreams than constantly being worried all day, KWIM?

I sympathize. At 18.5 weeks I am still terrified that they will find something wrong at the next appointment. My A/S is 8/8 and I am already dreading it.... but we will get through it together!

I am so sorry, PGAL dreams are the worst! It's hard to shake them for the rest of the day after you've had one. I hope you feel a little better by the time your appointment rolls around. T&Ps headed your way!
