I'm trying hard not to worry. Not to obsess... and despite what this post may convey I'm doing well...

I'll start by saying that my first pg ended after I had no activity at 8w after seeing a hb at 6w. I am 9.5 weeks and saw a strong hb last Tuesday.

The January 2006 Playgroup that I belong to has an active "pregnant mama" folder. One gal who's EDD is 3 days before mine has popped in her belly big time (now granted she does look to be about 40 pounds lighter to me to start with and this is also her second child - I've begun to grow, but haven't begun to pop).

The gals talk about nausea, heartburn and all the other "fun" ps and my nausea has been tolerable when I had it and I've been without it for the most part for over two weeks. I have the slightest of heartburn that if I hadn't had it before I probably wouldn't even notice it.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! All of their ps makes me start to think that things aren't going on in there for me. My next appt is Thursday; I'll be 9w6d. I rented a doppler at about that time with DD's pregnancy. If the NP can't find a hb I'm taking the thing from her and finding it myself.

Someone please slap me and tell me everything is okay!

I totally get it!!! (as I'm sure everyone else does too) I'm also 9.5 weeks and had a US with visible hb at 5w6d. No ms, slight nausea twice, no heartburn. I'm not really showing at all, and not really even noticing much of a change in my clothes. Everything makes me paranoid. OMG- my boobs don't hurt as much today, OMG- I'm barely tired, and so on. I'm finding it very hard to relax and remind myself that in my past pregnancies I didn't have ms, or show early.
I think, and I'm sure all the other PAL ladies would agree, is that this is one of the things people who haven't suffered a loss just don't understand. It's hard for us to find the joy in pregnancy, because we KNOW it can go/be taken away. All we can do is have faith we are doing everything possible to keep our bean safe and secure and trust that this time it will all work out.
SBV's and hugs to you,

Thanks, Tara. Funny - I'm the FIRST to tell other mamas that all pregnancies are different even in the same woman... but it's different when the pg's are different in me!

I just realized that Saylor and Audrey have the same birthday, January 16! Love our 1/16 babies!

Jill,

Keep the faith girl! I know its not easy, 1T was pure hell for me. I remember going into the docs office after a weekend of cramping. I was terrified that I was losing the baby. Normally my blood pressure is really good, but wow...it was so high that day. Needless to say, the baby was totally fine and they took my BP again after hearing heart tones and it was going down. So try not to worry too much, its not healthy! Let us know how your appointment goes.

Jill-


I could have written your post!! Im 8.3 weeks and counting down every moment!! I cant even read others stories b/c they freak me out (like missed mc/'s, ect.), i need to only see postive things right now.


All my losses were in the 5th week and never had a heartbeat so i know ive come a long way but im still petrified. My bbs have barely hurt, im queasy but no m/s, im tired and falling asleep at the drop of a hat but is that enough? and god forbid if i feel OK for 1 minute, i feel doomed!!


My 3rd u/s is tomorrow and im so scared the heartbeat will be gone. Its not helping with the slight brown d/c im getting. I just have to remind my self its from the dam stitch in my cervix...but jeez it makes my heart drop. I wish i could just have a u/s machine in my house and have constant reassurance!!

Whack! Did you feel it? Just kidding!! Everything will be fine and you are going along with a very easy pregnancy. If you need to give your doctor a call and get some reassurance!!!


Hugs,


Jenn

Jill-

I really know how you feel! The 1T was so terrible for me because of the obsessing. Also, all the comparing I do to other women and their pregnancies. I still feel like I worry waaayy too much. The best advice I can give you is to try to stay busy. It really does help. You'r almost to 2T though! Things will get better soon!
