Feeling worried

emsmama15 · January 2016

After being sick all week, I'm so nervous for my ultrasound today. I'm so worried something happened in there. Plus, my daughter went from saying "the babies" to saying "the baby," which freaks me out. She's said there were 2 since the very beginning. Ugh. I haven't asked her more in-depth questions because I don't want to know. Ultrasound is at 11 and I'm going to be nervous until then. As luck would have it, I have an appointment with my therapist this morning so hopefully that will calm me down a bit. Prayers and happy thoughts appreciated!!

The body is am amazing amazing place. Women have successfully carried pregnancies through insane conditions. I hope you are feeling better and that you get awesome reassurance today when you get to see your babes! I think all we can do is hope (and pray for some, not all) and be the best version of ourself possible at any given moment. T&P!!!!

I'm sorry that you are so worried. Praying for you and your babies and hoping today's ultrasound puts you back at ease and gives you lots to smile about!

I had my 7-week US yesterday and I shared your worry. I will absolutely be thinking of you and hoping that you get great news. Hugs to you and keep us posted.

I've been nervous for all of my u/s's so far. And my bloat is at a minimum this morning, which isn't comforting. I can't wait to have the reassurance of feeling the baby. I hope your u/s goes well sets your mind at ease for a while. Let us know how it goes!

I'm in class, but thinking if you and hope all goes well. Pregnancy is such an exercise in faith!

I freak out before every ultrasound. Praying you get wonderful news!! Sending you hugs.

Thanks everyone! I was SO relieved that both babies had strong heartbeats and are measuring on track and similarly to each other. The "smushed" one is no longer as smushed.

WHEW!! Thanks for all the happy thoughts!!

Such a relief!! Great news!!

Sporty1216 · January 2016

Hooray! Way to go babies!

So glad to hear everything's looking good in there! And it's nice to know I'm not the only one that has pregnancy freak outs!

I just commented on your thread. You are NOT ALONE!!!

It is so hard not to worry, especially in the early stages!!! I was so afraid of what we might not find at our first ultrasound that my dh thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown in the waiting room. I see that you saw both heartbeats and they are both measuring on track, that's great news!

So happy to see your good update @emsmama15 ! And you're definitely not alone in freaking out before ultrasounds or appointments. My heart is in my throat every single test or appointment, even now well into the second trimester. My OB's office started measuring my blood pressure after the doppler check, because beforehand it would be off the charts high, even though it's stone cold normal every other time.

Sporty1216 · January 2016

@redheadbride15--that's how my BP is too! That's a great idea to get them to take it AFTER the reassuring parts. I had to track my BP at home for my whole pregnancy last time because it was always NUTSO high in the office. Except the one time they took it after my anatomy scan and all had gone well. I should have asked them to change up the pattern then.

redheadbride15 · January 2016

@Sporty1216 Haha, my BP can be as high as 160/90 at the beginning of a visit. It's that way when I go to the dentist too. I just get SUPER anxious. It's always normal at the end of the OB visit though. I also track my BP at home (because I'm OCD about things like that). If anything it trends low at home... 102/64 this morning, for example. I have no idea why I get so anxious at medical appointments. I'm a doctor myself so you'd think I'd be comfortable in that setting, but I guess it's true that doctors make the worst patients.

Sporty1216 · January 2016

That makes me feel better, @redheadbride15--mine was WAY up there too. They were freaked out at first, but when my numbers at home were normal, they calmed down about it. I am typically not a super high anxiety person, but doctor's appointments do a number on me in that regard. And let's not even discuss the dentist. Haha. It's good to know that even doctors can get nervous like this. I think it just matters SO much to me, I can't help but be a wreck until I know things are ok. At the health screening at work, I was totally fine and got a totally normal reading. But the stakes there were lower than low. I'm gonna ask them to wait when I go to my appointment on Monday and will Report back how it works!

@emsmama15 YAY!! So glad to hear that everything is looking good! Go twinsies go!! So happy for you!!

@emsmama15 - I'm so sorry I just now read this but I'm sooo relieved to read your update. I would have definitely freaked out about what your LO was saying with just one "baby".... oh my word. So glad everything is good. Enjoy your weekend!

Glad things went so great. I freak out before every appointment. Or I convince myself the doc was wrong and I have a litter of puppies.
