Re: PGAL Check-in 2/17
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Had my monthly massage yesterday and my therapist is so supportive. Having a good ultrasound this week helped a lot, as did coming up with a game plan with my OB for both the UTI issue as well as monitoring my cervix.
Any upcoming procedures/appointments you're worried about? I will be having ultrasounds every 2 weeks to monitor my cervix, so I'll probably worry before every single one of them. It's not a procedure, but I also worry that my boss may start giving me shit about all these appointments...
How are you managing your stress? Watching the "risk of miscarriage" percentage get lower and lower each day - checking the site is part of my daily routine. Also the "fruit"/fun fact of the day from the bump app. Trying to eat healthily, take all my vitamins, pet my bump....

How are you feeling? Feeling good, physically. Don't really have any symptoms. Just have trouble sleeping, mainly because my nose is so stuffy every single night when I lay down.
Any upcoming procedures/appointments you're worried about? Had my NIPT blood draw done today, so I should have those results around next Wednesday. My 12-week appt is next Wednesday morning. I'm a little worried just because I don't have any symptoms, so I'm scared that they aren't gonna be able to find the heartbeat with the doppler.
How are you managing your stress? Just affirmations I guess....telling myself that I'm pregnant right this minute and embracing it. Also just reminding myself that if it's the right time, everything will work out.
How are you feeling? Just tired. I kind of wish I had more symptoms.
Any upcoming procedures/appointments you're worried about? Had my first appt last Thursday and saw the hb. Next appointment is next Thursday and I just got my MFM referral for March 10th.
How are you managing your stress? Honestly, I'm not. I feel like I frequently go into tail spins. Feel "off"...tail spin. Worried about progesterone labs... tail spin. I don't think I was fully prepared for what a mind**** PGAL was. I feel like my anxiety and disconnect is increasing as I reach the point at which I miscarried last time. I'm just hoping for things to go to a more normal state once I surpass where I was last time. I also still haven't seemed to learn that Google is not my friend.
I totally hear you on the significant dates....my daughter was born at 22w3d and I'll probably be a hot mess until at least 24 weeks as a result.

Update if you try your doppler. I have one from my last pregnancy but I'm so scared to try it. I started trying last time around 12 weeks and could never find the heartbeat but it turns out that they believe he passed sometime around then. I'm just scared I'm going to be convinced that I miscarried again if I can't find the hb....
Also my MIL is exactly the same. She will use my situation to get sympathy for herself. That's why I don't intend on telling her for a long time. We didn't tell her about the last one and when I miscarried I was so thankful we didn't tell her. I told my husband I would prefer to not tell her until we reach viability. That's probably what we will do.
We were going to tell my mil about my first pregnancy 3 days after I found out I was going to miscarry. Like went out and bought things to surprise her and found out the next day it wasn't viable, so I think that is also causing some unneeded worry.
A nice mil story of her making things about her, her best friend from high school (maid of honor in her wedding) husband had a massive heart attack and died. Her best friend posted about it on Facebook a day or two after it happened.... MIL sent a message to her friend saying she was hurt that she wasn't told personally about his passing and had to find out about it on Facebook. She then tried getting sympathy about it from mh and bil and they were both like umm no you're in the wrong here thankfully.
Also at the baby shower for my first, she organized it for my husband's side, and everything was going great everyone was having a good time. Near the end we're looking around for her and she's no where to be found. MH calls her and she's crying in the phone saying she's just so depressed she couldn't be there anymore because they're should be other people celebrating that aren't there (FIL, and both of my husband's grandmother's passed 3 years prior, his grandmother's were in their 90s).

How are you feeling? Just okay. I'm very worried something will be wrong at the next appointment and they won't be able to find the heartbeat. I'm trying to stay positive with some of my symptoms continuing. Now my boobs are sore in a different way and my belly is definitely getting bigger.
Any upcoming procedures/appointments you're worried about? Next appointment 2/28. Super worried.
How are you managing your stress? Trying to stay distracted as much as I can. Reading the affirmations others have posted. Continuing therapy.
Ummm maybe because a teenage boy doesn't want you talking about his ass hole with the family? That's a private thing?
@foreveronyourside So sweet of you! Thank you!
She also informed me that I was brought up recently at their providers meeting and the head OB had a firm no on allowing me to try for a vba2c. So I guess now I need to eventually transfer to the large hospital I hated having my second at.
