    Exactly! Like we are already a mess. Can we just take a break from the crazy for a few hours a day??

    I'm dreading this weekend. This time last year I was pregnant and we told our moms at DS's birthday party. This year, I'm pregnant again but too scared to say anything.

    7 weeks - blueberry
    I’m feeling tired. It was so nice to nap this weekend not sure how I’m going to make it through work and then my sons soccer game tonight.
    Next appointment is 6/8. My first ultrasound. all my prenatal bloodwork came back normal.
    I would travel to bible times, to sit at the feet of Jesus and witness miracles, teachings and time spent on earth.

    1. How many weeks are you, and how big is baby?
    6+6 - a honeybee 

    2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
    physically - okay. Just dealing with nausea and a few other mild symptoms. Mentally - not sure. Just trying not to think about it too much until I'm reassured at my first appointment. 

    3. Any appointment updates?
    First appointment is June 6th. I will be around 9 weeks at that point. 

    4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
    None at the moment. 

    5. GTKY: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
    I would go to Paris and Versailles. I read a lot about French history, particularly the Revolution, so I would just be interested to explore that area of France.

    @sparkymcgeee I'm glad I have not had any of those dreams yet. But that sucks, dude. Sorry you're dealing with that and the loss date. Mine is not until September, but I'm not looking forward to it. I just found out my sister is pregnant, and her due date is one week after mine would have been, so we would have been on the same timeline. That would have been a pretty cool thing, but I am just happy to be pregnant again. 

    @ladystout08 Sorry you're dreading the weekend. I totally get it, though. I've been so hesitant to tell anyone, but I finally broke down and told my parents yesterday. Honestly, I feel better now that they know. I hadn't told anyone I was pregnant (other than DH) when I had the MC last time, and I think it made it harder to deal with. They are cautiously excited, but it helps to know that I'm not alone in my apprehension.

    Hi ladies(waves)! I’m new here, I just intro’d on the intro post. 


    1. How many weeks are you, and how big is baby?
    4+5, size of a waterbear 

    2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
    Physically- sore boobs, waves of nausea, everything stinks, my face is breaking out like a teenager. 

    Mentally - blah. Just trying to stay positive. 

    3. Any appointment updates?
    none yet. I need to find a new OB first. I didnt like how she dealt with our MMC in December. 

    4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
    My sister just sent out her baby shower invitations. It’s on the day my scheduled csection would’ve probably been. I’m feeling salty about it and I’m not excited about going. 

    5. GTKY: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? We did Rome for our honeymoon and it was amazing. I’d love to visit all the cities in Europe.

    Hey all.

    I'm 4 weeks today. I don't have any appts scheduled yet and am feeling ok except for sore boobs. Does anyone else have major anxiety about scheduling appts? I went in for a dating ultrasound at 8 weeks in Feb feeling totally fine and they diagnosed fetal demise. I wasn't expecting it at all. Now I'm nervous to make early appts. It's like no news is good news in my brain.

    @sparkymcgeee OMG it's not just me? I had a dream last night I was in the hospital 5 months pregnant. And at first I was all "oh yeah, I'm having a baby this is awesome" then dream-self realized I was *only* 5 months pregnant and I was at the hospital cause I was having another MC (really, still birth I guess at 5 months) and dream-self went full batshit.

    Yeah mine was like a 21 weeker and so I was just holding my baby knowing it wasn't going to live long. Then it just kept fighting to survive and so it was this twisty dream where it was beautiful and sad all at once.

    1. How many weeks are you, and how big is baby? 4w 5d, poppyseed

    2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Totally preoccupied with being pregnant again. I just found out yesterday, and I'm really excited, but DH kind of dampered it with a "it's really soon..." comment. No one knows better than me, bud! Physically feeling fine but tired. MS doesn't usually kick in for me until 6 weeks. 

    3. Any appointment updates?
    Scheduled my first appt for June 20th when I'll be 9 weeks. 

    4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: My sister is 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow, so our babies will be really close together! I can't wait to get a little further along so that I can tell her. 

    5. GTKY: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? At the moment, I'd just like to go to a beautiful island and relax!

    @Mandamay1414 I completely understand. Hopefully when you do work up the nerve to schedule your first appointment it will go smoothly! My first appointment is tomorrow and I’m terrified something will be wrong, but until I see the baby is where it’s supposed to be and measuring on track I won’t really believe all is well.

    @sparkymcgeee I’m so sorry about that dream. That one sounds like a bad one! I get them with every pregnancy as well. I’ve only had one so far this time thankfully. 

    Having some PGAL anxiety today. I normally have my appointments on Tuesdays in the office by my job. This week my OB didn’t have a Tuesday opening so I had to make a Wednesday appointment at their main office. I’m feeling not thrilled about it. For one I have to wait to see what’s happening an extra day. But I’m also feeling superstitious about not seeing her in the normal way. My OB herself is also weirdly superstitious and in the past she’s opened the schedule to see me on the correct day. But this time they made it without her knowing. I considered calling this morning to see if there are cancellations. 

    My symptoms also are super mild which I’m not thrilled about.

    @galactickates, I'm sorry you're dealing with so much anxiety. The first tri is so, so hard emotionally. There's a light at the end of the tunnel when you make it to the 2nd trimester, and then the 3rd is just a fun waiting game. When's your next appointment?

    @galactickates I am so sorry that you are struggling with such bad anxiety. Have you ever considered seeing a therapist? Some levels of anxiety are absolutely normal but sometimes PGAL can be really overwhelming. I only say that because I never saw a therapist until PP with DD and I realized then that my issues with PPA actually started while I was pregnant (really before because I have OCD but that’s a different story). I never was able to rest or feel comfortable because every time I got good news I would find something else to worry about. And I found third tri the hardest because I worried so much about making it so far and not having a take home baby. 

    I just want to offer overall major hugs! It is absolutely possible and LIKELY that you will take home a healthy baby even after a loss.

    @galactickates I'm so sorry. Being PGAL is such a mindf*ck. I don't know any other way to describe it. What's supposed to be a happy time is completely unenjoyable and fraught with doom and gloom. It sucks and I'm sorry. I wish I could say something thar would just make every anxiety go **poof** in the air.

    Add me to the anxiety train. I woke up this morning with an uncomfortable ute. I don't know how else to describe it. It's not really cramping but it is kind of like an on/off AF feeling and soreness. Also, the awful sickness I've been having since least Friday seems to have up and left today. I really don't have a good feeling about this.  I got discharged from the RE last week but they said to call if I have concerns,  so I just left them a message. Hopefully they can get me in for an ultrasound tomorrow. I'm supposed to go out of the country on Friday and I sure as hell don't want to miscarry while I'm away,  so if something's wrong I need to know now so I can cancel my trip. Ugh. I feel like I'm going to be leaving you ladies.

    @tosh24 Hopefully it's just PGAL at work. I woke up this morning feeling the same - nausea has subsided WAY down, and some feelings in the ute area. I'm trying to just breath and take it in stride and enjoy not having MS that badly today. FX it's just the normal symptom swing and I hope your RE can get you in for an u/s to ease your mind a bit about that!

    So, nurse called back and said if no bleeding,  it's not a big deal.  Um, I've had a MMC before,  so I never bled then either. They're not giving me an u/s. I guess I'll have to be the crazy lady and go to urgent care for a scan? I hate being a crazy, but I'll do it if I have to.

    @tosh24, can you explain that you're going out of the country and that you'd really like to get the scan before you go? I get cramps and twinges in the first few weeks, even with healthy pregnancies, so I hope it's just normal stuff you're experiencing.

    @tosh24 I'm sorry that you're feeling this way and that the RE's office didn't get you right in. I know you know this, but symptoms really can come and go, which is torture for PGAL. Do whatever you need to do. Fx it is nothing. 

    @galactickates How are you doing today? 

    I have some anxiety that when we go in tomorrow for another u/s it will be bad news. But, as I have with everything so far, I'm keeping that feeling at a distance.

    PGAL brain can eat a d*** (also thank you lame TOU) 

    I hate not feeling excited about this. I want to be but I’m so afraid to get too hopeful. 

    @tosh24 that blows. I’d probably go if it meant I couldn’t enjoy my trip too.
  • Options
    @zamora_spin thanks for asking.  I don't think the stuff i'm worrying about will ever go away.  It's not debilitating. It's just stuff that i'm concerned about if that makes sense.  I mean I have a real fear of dying during delivery too but it's not going to stop me. The whole thing around pregnancy and giving birth is pretty stressful to me,  but I really want a child so here I am.  You just have to go through it right and hope everyone does their job and testing is sufficient,  idk. 
  • Options
    @tosh24 I’m so sorry they aren’t fitting you in! I would not blame you for going to urgent care to get some peace of mind. 

    If it helps at all I was super crampy today and yesterday but just had a perfect ultrasound. Ute feelings are normal especially as you get farther along and things start to stretch out! All of the hugs. 

    @galactickates dying in birth was one of my biggest fears too (and TBH I had a couple of close calls with delivery) but the fears really are worth the outcome. You’ve got this!

    ETA: @tosh24 I'm sorry everyone is being so stubborn about letting you see baby! I hope you are able to find a place to fit you in.

    @KariAnn323 Sorry PGAL brain is bad today. It always seems to kick in worse before appointments. I have all the faith you will get great news!

    @ladystout08 I'm sorry PGAL is kicking your butt today too. If you think getting another draw today will help then go for it! No reason to make yourself worry over the long weekend.

    @tosh24 I hope you get that u/s today and that it is just a UTI and nothing related to the PG!!

    @KariAnn323 Came here to say the same thing :frowning: First u/s tomorrow morning. Last PG the u/s was when I learned I was having a MMC. So, convinced that is going to happen again. Doesn't help that my intense MS started letting up 2 days ago, and I am cramping today :confused:
