    TW: stillbirth and miscarriage mentioned

    My anxiety is through the roof 24/7. I am on high alert. I had a stillborn twin in July 2022, his twin brother is thriving. I just had another miscarriage in January, and found out I'm pregnant, due December 6. On Monday of this week, I woke up to some light pink spotting. I called my OB and he said to come in immediately. He did an ultrasound but it was still to early to detect the heartbeat, but he put me on progesterone to help support my pregnancy. I go back this coming Monday for another ultrasound. I'm so nervous, and every afternoon around 3, I get a little bit of pink spotting. Nothing major like the miscarriage I experienced, but my mind is all over the place. I am very excited to be pregnant, but I'm so anxious. I might ask my doctor for some anxiety medication on Monday.Β

    Absolutely terrified. πŸ˜…Β 

    It was a little over a year ago that we found out we were pregnant and April 19 (in two days) when we miscarried. So this pregnancy is following the same timeline as far as finding out and due date. God willing not the loss!!!Β 

    Normally we tell our close friends and family (our support people) and our church early. This time we have only told 3 people. I guess the fear, with the added shame of pregnancy as I'm getting older (37 so not that old but AMA) and the stigma of having so many kids (this is #8) has us extra cautious with the news. With my loss, I heard rumors of people saying that maybe it was a sign we shouldn't have more and I just don't want to go through that again.Β 

    Usually severe morning sickness and food and smell aversions are my first symptoms. This time around that hasn't been true. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts, but its making me so paranoid.Β Β

    @nopegoat added shame of pregnancy at 37?! Girl, I'll be 43 this August. I wish I had met my husband sooner than I did. AMA? I'm geriatric. Farting dust! πŸ˜‚ idk where you live or who is in your circle but that's not ok for people to make you feel ashamed of being pregnant, especially when your family views the baby as a blessing, especially after a loss. I'm so sorry for your previous loss. I'm sure you're super anxious. Praying for you!Β

    @bridgiebee82 thank you!Β  I think its more age paired with how many kids I have than just age. I'm not worried about either, baby is definitely a blessing, but with the loss and the comments its just in the back of my mind. PGAL is no fun and definitely makes one not completely rational.Β 

    LOL at farting dust  🀣 I needed that chuckle! Its funny that I don't think people older than me that are having babies as too old or geriatric, but me... We are our own worst critics!

    All good! Praise God! I go back in 2 weeks! Due date is December 6, 2025, the feast of St. Nicholas. I'll probably go early though since I'm high risk, AMA, and have had a previous c-section.Β

    Glory to God, indeed! I'm so glad everything looked good!! What a relief!

    Saint Nicholas would be an amazing patron Saint to have! What a good day to be due even though you may go early.Β
