Someone please help - very scared

smallanimal · August 2016

I am 5w3d today and I know the last thing I should be thinking about is the potential of miscarriage, but I am a nervous wreck. I had a m/c before and I want this baby so crazy much. This morning I woke up with sweat and less symptoms than before, which happened last time, so obviously I started to panic. My first viability scan is next tuesday which may still be too early but I want to try anyhow. Please help - what can I do to take my mind off being scared of m/c? No bleeding, but I have the occasional mild cramps, mostly after eating. Anything anyone could say, to offer some hope or encouragement, I would be immensely grateful.. please...

Also, I dont have sore boobs anymore, which worries me terribly. I didnt have them very bad earlier, either.. but still..

I'm sorry you are scared. It is a horrible feeling. There is really nothing you can do at this point though. Perhaps try and read a book you enjoy or do something else pleasant to take your mind off of it, at least partially. I am going to point you in the direction of the PGAL board. They will better be able to help you. Another thread which might be helpful for you is the PGAL check-in. I just posted it today. Those are better places to go, instead of making a thread. I don't want to be insensitive, because as someone who has also gone through a loss I know it is so, so hard. But, I think you should probably avoid starting your own thread about something like this.
The community might shoot me down. But that is my suggestion. Again, I am so sorry you are going through something so scary.

Deep breaths, hon. My boobs haven't been sore all the time, just off and on, especially if I get bumped. I would take the no bleeding as a good sign. As for the mild cramps, I have had those off and on as well. Waking up with sweat could mean you had too much on you while in bed and just overheated. If you're really worried, call your doctor. Don't forget, too, that all pregnancies are different. Prayers your way.

PGAL is no joke. It is a hard thing to deal with. Pregnancy symptoms come and go. I get really crampy a lot still and I am 5+5. Cramps are part of your uterus growing to help your baby grow too.

Take it a day at a time. Today you are pregnant.

I know it's so hard. : ( I agree with the 'try to enjoy each day you are pregnant' philosophy, you know, if you see something baby-related and cute, go ahead and bookmark it, make baby plans etc. I would (personally) rather enjoy these things and then miscarry, than wait until a certain number weeks to allow myself a mindset of contentment.

@smallanimal Nothing wrong with getting help from people on this board. It is just probably not best to make your own post about it. We encourage people to post threads that would benefit the whole community. But, no worries. I hope you stick around and become a long term member of our little community.

I feel for you so much and hope you find joy in each moment.
But I want to comment on what a sweet community we have so far. I appreciate how members are so gentle while pointing posters in the right direction. The last board I was on was so harsh and cruel. I really hope we keep this up when our moods go crazy! So far loving everyone here!!!:)

Lurking from the March Mommas board... Just wanted to drop a line to say I am so sorry that you are dealing with PGAL Brain - it's the absolute WORST. If it helps at all, my symptoms came and went all the time throughout this pregnancy (I am now 10.5 weeks). They'd be terrible for a few days and then suddenly disappear for 3 days and I'd be convinced I had miscarried again.
Symptoms coming and going is common for almost all pregnancies, but PGAL ladies tend to be a lot more sensitive to it. Just remember those PGAL Mantras and know that you are not alone. Best of luck and happy pregnancy!

@danibanani16 thanks for posting. I felt horrible this weekend but today and yesterday have felt pretty normal. Thanks for the reassurance.
