Weekend Worries 10/6

1inthehopper · October 2016

Let the weekend begin!! Hope everyone had a great week. I'm posting this a day early since I'm heading out of town.

Sometimes I feel my PGAL brain gets the best of me on the weekends since I have more time to think. Instead I should be just enjoying my weekend. So here's a safe place to vent your worries no matter how ridiculous you think they might sound. Get them out and then hopefully enjoy your weekend with less worry.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

It's my first post in PGAL. Unfortunately, I don't expect to spend much time here. Second betas increased and didn't double and are very low (from 22 to 29 at 13 and 15 DPO). A CP seems imminent, though I'm not bleeding or cramping at this time (yet). This will be my second loss, and it's hitting quite hard. Amazing how difficult it can be when I only got a BFP on Monday.

@laeberge3 - I'm so sorry to hear your beta isn't doubling. I had two back to back losses before this rainbow baby and it was one of the most difficult things I've been through - please keep us updated.

@laeberge3 I'm so sorry you're going through this. Praying for you and your little bean- please keep us posted

@laeberge3 I'm so sorry. What a roller coaster of a week for you. Thinking of you. Keep us posted.

My weekend worries include waking up for the first time in weeks not gagging or feeling as nauseated. I know that's supposed to happen now (12+4) but it's weird!

The other is that my aches and pains are really quite bad. They don't feel like something's wrong, so i really do feel like it's just round ligament pain, but it's been a constant pain all day like period cramps and occasionally a sharp shooting pain when I stand or sit. Makes it hard to walk. The only comfortable position is lying flat on my back. I guess it's a good sign of growing, but since this is my first pregnancy that's made it this far, I can't help but worry a little about how much it hurts!

On the plus side, I used my Doppler today and the heartbeat was chugging away as usual.

@HGRich - when you get the period like cramps you are probably dehydrated - when you lay down drink a large glass of water. It helps me when it happens.

HGRich · October 2016

@ceclarlinetlon thank you. I feel like I've had a lot of water today but it's probably still not enough. I'll try that.

laeberge3 · October 2016

Thanks, ladies. This community really is the best. I'm still hanging in there - no bleeding or even spotting. However, I've had on and off cramps for two days. They're not really period-like cramps; it's almost like a build up of pressure. It comes and goes and isn't particularly stabby or painful but annoying. My next beta isn't scheduled until Thursday; depending on how tomorrow goes, I may see about checking the levels earlier. Ahhh, I hate being in limbo and it is all too familiar.

I hope everyone was able to keep the worry at bay this weekend!

HGRich · October 2016

@laeberge3 sorry you're in limbo. I had massive cramping in weeks 4-6 if it helps. Everything was fine.

Im starting to think my present aches and cramps might be the start of a uti. Yikes. Never had one before. But aside from that, the weekend has been fairly worry free.

Hang in there, y'all!

Oh @larberge3 I'm so sorry! Limbo is the worst, I hope you get good news very soon! Big hug to you!

I am 5 weeks today and I have an u/s scheduled for October 18th. I hope to see my baby and hear his/her heartbeat. I have never seen this before, my losses were blighted ovum and CP. So I really don't have good memories from U/S.

I really have hope this will be our rainbow baby, but I can't help worrying every day.

Hope everyone had a good rest of the weekend. I had a much needed girls weekend out of town with 2 of my closest friends and got to tell them in person that I'm pregnant. They were by my side during the ectopic so it was special to be able to tell them in person.

My weekend worries were the continuation of worrying about baby measuring 5 days behind. And then I've had a horrible headache for two days, I'm crampy off and on and the morning sickness was awful. So I feel like crap while at the same time am happy I have symptoms. I started the daily baby aspirin at the advice of my OB Thursday and so now I'm worried about bleeding risk from that. I feel like a basket case sometimes lately. My DH and I were talking about how blissfully ignorant we were when I was pregnant with DD before we had experienced loss. And now we're worried about everything and there's more to worry about because we're tracking numbers and levels- we know too much if that makes sense?!

Argggg anyway hopefully a good nights sleep and less anxiety tomorrow

yolandamunoz · October 2016

I totally have that feeling @1inthehopper "we know too much"

Like other people would think the hardest part (getting pregnant) is over. And we know it's not. And every visit to the doctor, reminds us about past visits with no good news.

Every morning I read the PGAL mantra that someone posted here. And I try to live my day accordingly. I am pregnant today, and I love my baby. Everything is doing ok, and I have to be kind to myself.

Have a good week ladies!
Hugs!
