Feeling out of sorts today
9
Wed, 06-06-2007 - 11:07am

It's one of those "iffy" days again. I've had a non-stop headache for 3-4 days now, which I have been attributing to a PG symptom (though I don't remember getting headaches until closer to the 2T with DD), but this morning, my boobs didn't feel sore, and I didn't have to pee in the middle of the night last night. Then, I had loose bowels this morning. So, once again, I'm going through doubt and dread. I just hate this part of being a PAL. I've been telling myself there's nothing I can do - if it happens, it's going to happen, and I'll survive just like I did before. I've been feeling so miserable lately, but telling myself to be grateful for the symptoms.

I don't see the dr. again for 3 weeks (I'm 9 weeks today), and have my N/T scan and OB appt. the same day. I wish I could go in there every week and get an u/s, just so I'd know what was going on - I hate the waiting and not being sure. I keep reading everyone's good news and it gives me hope, but not enough to drag me out of my funk today. Just looking for some hugs, I guess. :-)

Thanks,
Kitty

Kitty,

Here are some (((hugs))) for you. This board never ceases to amaze me--tons of different women with very different lives and backgrounds, but all in the same situation. Your post could have been mine! I'll second what Maureen said--symptoms definitely come and go. I FINALLY had to just stop feeling myself up to see if the bbs were still sore! Because if they weren't, I'd be anxious, but then inevitably they'd be sore again later that day, or the next day, or NOT. I have had almost NO symptoms worthy of mention (and I hope one day to be able to brag about that rather than stress about it). But you know what? That bean is still there! I just saw him on u/s the other day. So just know that it's very likely that things are going well, even if your body is not giving you the feedback you'd like. Take care of yourself!

Oh, good luck on everything. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little bean. I am sure everything is fine. My bbs stopped hurting around 9 weeks and then started back up the next week. I know how hard it is to be a PAL mom!

Thank you all for the hugs and encouraging words. :-) I'm sure my attitude hasn't been helped by the fact that I've had a migraine-level headache for several days now that Tylenol isn't doing anything to relieve, but I'm feeling better today (emotionally, at least :-).

Thanks again,
Kitty

I know how you feel. This afternoon I've noticed I'm not as tired or nauseous as I have been and of course I start freaking out! My bbs still hurt, though, and I'm totally out of it so I've got pregnancy-brain regardless! I just saw my bean earlier today so what's the deal? I just keep telling myself the motto of the other ladies here: faith over fear. There are moments when I'm saying it many time just in one minute. Thank god we are in this together!
