I'm so sorry that it is so hard and scary. Great plan to stay busy this weekend and try to keep your mind on something else. You might also try to remind yourself that you have had no signs of trouble and that is always good news. Truck loads of sticky, healthy baby vibes to you!
It must be very difficult for you right now. I can kind of relate to the timing/milestone issue, since I recently got pregnant, and doing the math realized that I conceived pretty much on my daughter's due date (the one that we recently lost), and that the due date for this pregnancy is a few days around the day we lost our our daughter. I don't really know what advice to give, except that it's okay to let yourself be scared and upset, but try not to let it consume you. Just be gentle with yourself, and know that it's okay to have those feelings. This pregnancy is different, and the tests so far show that everything is going well for you. Maybe try doing something different this weekend, something you normally don't do, but enjoy doing. Like going out to a movie, going out to a special place for dinner, something that will keep you busy and that you will enjoy.
Sending you lots of prayers and positive thoughts!
I'm not sure why I would think that if something went wrong with this pregnancy, that it would start on exactly the same day as last time... and if it did today would be that day. So far, so good. Nothing out of the ordinary yet. I think if I can get through today then I can relax a bit. Clearly, we aren't out of the woods (still only
I'm so sorry you are going to have a tough weekend Karen.
