I've never been so nervous in my life

I miscarried on 12/12/04 and found out on 1/10/05 that I'm pregnant again. Needless to say, I'm scared to death that I'll miscarry again. To alleviate my fears, my doctor is taking my blood levels every few days. On 1/13/05 I came back with 1091. The Dr. wanted to make sure my numbers are doubling so he took more blood yesterday. I called and called and called the office today and left messages, but they haven't called me back yet with the results. I'm DYING. I'm nervous, anxious, scared... AHHHH!!!!!!!

I hope you have heard from your doctor by now.

Laura - they came back GREAT! I went from 1090 on Thursday, to 4300 as of yesterday!! I'm so relieved! I must be super emotional and tense, because when the nurse told me, I started crying. I'm a little more relaxed now, but I don't think the intense fear will go away until I have the first ultrasound in about a week or so.

I know how you feel, I had a m/c 9 months ago, and found out that I am pregnant again about 5 weeks along, now. I had the blood test done for the hcg levels this past monday, I went in again today and had more blood drawn. I will know the results tomorrow...the anxiety is horrible! Tomorrow won't get here fast enough. When I found out I was pregnant last time, something deep down inside me made me feel like something was wrong, like I knew that it wasn't going to be. Sure enough I miscarried. This time, I feel great, still scared, but something tells me that this one is going to be ok. I'll keep you in my thoughts! Let me know how your results are. I will let you know how mine are tomorrow...keep positive.

Tiffany - good luck!
I felt the SAME way with my first pregnancy. The whole time I had this gut feeling I was going to lose it. I told a few friends, and DH, that I was terrified I was going to lose it. Lo and behold, I miscarried at 6 weeks. This time is so much different. Of course I'm nervous, but I don't have that same gut feeling. Let's hope it works out for us both!!

I am so happy to hear that your numbers are doubling and that your little bean is okay! I can't believe how similar our stories are. I lost my baby on 12-10-04,and I found out that I was pregnant again on 1-13-05. My dr. had me take some blood tests a week or so ago and so far my numbers are doubling too. I have a different feeling about this, but that doesn't make me feel completely at ease. I'm worried too because we are often told that getting pregnant so soon is risky, but I've talked to lots of women in similar situations who had healthy pregnancies and babies that were just fine. I wonder daily if my baby is okay. I check for spotting every time I go to the bathroom. I touch BB's to make sure that they are sore. I question if and when I don't feel sick, but I'm trying to stay as calm as possible. It's impossible not to think about, but more than likely, we are going to have healthy babies in September! Prayers and positive thoughts and lots of sticky vibes!

Love, Summer
