Scared Pooless. (Seriously wish I could poo.)

So I'm 9 weeks and this is my second pregnancy.  Long story short, I couldn't conceive for 2.5yrs, then found out I was pregnant last fall and at 12 weeks found out the little bean stopped growing at 7 and had an induced miscarriage with misoprostol a week before Christmas.  YUCK.  SO  Ive spent the last month of knowing I was pregnant trying not to worry every 2 minutes that just because everything seems normal, maybe my body is deceiving me and I'm already in trouble.  I'm having an ultrasound in 2 weeks (I pretty much demanded one just for my own piece of mind, although my doctor didn't disagree.) but I'm starting to feel the dread of lying on that damn table and having the perky little tech say I'll be right back.... I'm a nurse, so I know what's up, I guess I just needed to get it off my chest and maybe hear from some other people  who might be wiggin out too.  Also, constipation is super lame when everything else is so out of order.

  • I feel ya! I miscarried in June so I'm constantly a nervous wreck! And I'm soooo uncomfortably constipated. I feel like my gastric muscles just straight up aren't working! I can't even TRY to poop!!

  • I've been the same, nervous Everytime I go for an U/S. I had a missed misscarriage, only found at my 9 week U/S. They nurse left me alone what felt like 15 mins. Then the doctor came in to confirm the baby passed at 7 weeks. That sinking feeling is what scares me each time I go by. I'm almost 12 weeks, and I've had really positive U/S and blood draws. So that fear is starting to lift.
  • I hear you!  Congrats on nearly making it through the first trimester.  I know it's very rare to have consecutive missed miscarriages, but man the thought of being one of those small statistics is terrifying.  Feels like you're living a lie.  Good luck!  You sound like you're in good shape!
  • @PjamyJonjon‌ thoughts and prayers everything goes alright this time around. And I had the constipation issue too. Doctor gave me a stool softener to help. It's not a miracle worker, but once every three days is better than where I was.

  • I definitely feel ya. I had a spontaneous miscarriage at 13.5 weeks in May 2012, I was so heartbroken because I thought I was in the clear. The whole experience was awful, there was nothing wrong with my baby, my fundus tore (whatever that means) and I was bleeding uncontrollably. The doctor tried to repair the tear but as he was doing it my water broke. I didn't want to share my pregnancy news, everyone found out when I was hospitalized for HG though. I understand that doom feeling but just try to relax and hope for the best, stressing isn't going to do you or baby any favors.<3

  • I just wanted to say I hope your ultrasound goes well! I'm sorry for what you've been through with the miscarriage, I'm sorry for your loss.

    Although I haven't been through the same experience I too feel that nervousness once they start the ultrasound, and I'm so afraid that they will find something wrong. I've had a couple so far and things are going well, so I'm really trying not to worry too much! I hope after your ultrasound it helps you relax too! GL!
