I know how hard it is to relax...I still check my undies at 20 weeks.....

take deep breaths and do the best you can.

Hang in there~~~~

Hey Claudette!

I wish I could tell you that will go away and that you will calm down, but I cant! Believe it or not, I still check for spotting/bleeding whenever I go to the bathroom, I am always checking the TP!! And I am 38 weeks!! AHHHH! Sadly, I think the worrying is never ending, but that is all part of being a mom. It is totally normal for you to worry. Besides you are still anxious and everything else so dont be hard on yourself. I can totally relate to the being intimate - part of me didnt want to ever because I couldnt handle the anxiety of spotting afterward :-) I hope that you didnt spot so that you didnt have to worry too much. It is very easy to worry and get worked into a frensy! When is your appt this week, I cant remember - I am thinking Thursday - is that right? I cant wait to hear your update, I think that you should probably be able to see a heartbeat this time around hopefully. I hope you are hanging in there and trying to do things you enjoy to take your mind off of everything (like that is possible right?). I think that no matter what this whole experience will be anxious and somewhat frustrating, but rewarding too. I think once you get to see your baby's heartbeat and once you have a little more time, the happiness will start to kick in to. You have to give yourself some time to let your guard down slightly...it wont happen over just a couple weeks and that is totally ok and understandable! Hang in there hun!

Hugs
Victoria
