UPDATE: scary dreams, spotting, and milestones - emotional to say the least

So, we had our appointment today... Two heartbeats!! One in the 160s and the other in 170s. Crazy overwhelmed, but feeling doubly blessed. Vanishing twin was mentioned, but things looked good. Next appt is in 3 weeks. I'm sure I'll worry from time to time, but today was so re-assuring. I told my doc I dreamt of her all Saturday night. Spotting a bit now, but sure it's from the vaginal u/s. Thank you for all your good thoughts!! Wishing the same for all of you!!

I'm 7w1d. Last night, I kept having dreams where DH and I were in the doc's office, and she have us bad news again. Today, I've had some brownish spotting on and off, with some crampy, stretching feelings. My nipples don't even feel as sore. My hope is that all's ok. Maybe even because DH and I were intimate yesterday morning. But it was around this time that I had my MC. It was even a Sunday. I have an appt tomorrow where they will do and u/s. Today has been so emotional. Crying jags. Worry. It just feels like déjà vu. I know every pregnancy is different, but the timing and everything is making me crazy. Went on a short, easy hike to get out of the house and out of my head. Helped, but the emotional roller coaster is still going strong. Has anyone experienced similar? Did anything help? Thoughts and prayers are appreciated! Thanks!

  • (((Hugs))). It's completely normal to be emotional and have doubts. Remember that today you are pregnant. Fx for your appt tomorrow!

  • Spotting is really common after intimate moments. Symptoms really don't mean much, as I'm sure you know, but they're still worrying. I hope that tomorrow goes great!

  • Big hugs! I know this is easier said than done, but I decided to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy as much as I can, just as I did my first (until we discovered the kids, of course). No amount of worrying is going to change anything, so I'm choosing to only believe that this baby will be joining our earthly family. With all that said, I still have to check myself daily when the "what ifs" start trying to creep in... worry is a natural emotion after loss. I hope your appointment goes well, and I look forward to your joyful update!
  • ::HUGS:: It is normal to feel that way. I hope all is well. fx for good news at your apt.
