How do you shake the bad feelings?
| Fri, 09-22-2006 - 11:06am |
Hi everyone, I am having such a hard time these last couple of days. I had some minor twinges and cramps so of course I have been a nervous wreck. My second set of betas came back which were great numbers but I still can't shake this scary feeling. I am trying to stay calm but I guess I am just so fearful of the past two experiences. Anyway I was just curious if anyone has found a way to help cope. Watching ER last night did not help for my longterm fears, that's for sure. Thanks for listening.
P.S. Beta was 940 and did a great jump to 2470. Those results helped!

Melanie - I am sorry you are having a bad couple of days, we all can related.
Melanie,
Well I can not tell you how to shake those feeling becuase I still have those feelings and everything medical wise is going wonderful in this pregnancy. I can tell you to try and take one day at a time because that is what I am doing, but I will be truthful it is very hard.
I want to let you know that the cramping and twinges seemed to be a very good thing for me in this pregnancy! I actually had some really bad cramping one day and so I called my OB and went in for an ultra sound and the baby had grown 2 days in 1 day.(Yes I had an ultra Sound two days straight)
Unfortunately sweetie, I have yet to really find a way to keep the bad thoughts and the worry away.
Melanie,
If you find the answer to that question you will be a very rich women!
Thanks everyone for all your kind words and support! I wish I was able to be on the boards more. Sorry I could not respond and thank you sooner. I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Melanie-
The first thing that has helped me is having weekly u/s.
Melanie,
It sounds like everyone has already given lots of good words of support.
I wish I knew the answer to this question, but like the others, I'm still trying to figure it out. What I try to do is to look on the brighter side of things. I figure that God has made a plan for me and that I'm still traveling it. No matter how much it hurts or how great things are. I also pray to him every night to thank him for the wonderful moments I have with this pregnancy, all the milestones and steps I've passed. It's the Faith over Fear thoughts that I've learned from Wendi. I also lean on my wonderful friend here. They have given me so much support a girl could ask for and I would do the same for them. So, anytime you have a moment, please ask for a shoulder, we're here for ya.
