High-Risk Pregnancy

Anxiously Waiting!

I'm high risk for a few reasons. I'm type 1 diabetic and have thyroid problems. This pregnancy is a complete surprise. Therefore I am not in the good health I was when I had my daughter. I had my first doctor visit with a regular OB today. He's having me to come back in 3 weeks for my first ultrasound to make sure my pregnancy is still viable before he sends me to see a high risk specialist. I'm anxious an nervous. Last time he sent  me to a high risk OB immediately. I don't understand why he's waiting this time. What do you all do to help yourself calm down and ride out the wait and anxiety? 😭

  • Breath. It will be ok. 

    For me I just remember that everything happens for a reason. Just remind yourself as long as you are not bleeding and still "feel pregnant" then you should be good. 

    How was your first appointment, did he take a look at baby? How far along are you? I am sure he just wants to get a better understanding where you are truly at before taking it to the next step.
