I have some super irrational fears that I'm having a tough time with (thanks to midwifery school). Amniotic fluid embolism is at the top of my list, followed by DVT/PE/stroke, and placental abruption. I know these are irrational, and I keep trying to convince myself that I am low-risk, and my midwife and I are working on it - but jeez!
I freaked out so bad in the beginning that I asked for a U/S at 4w4d - and then saw NOTHING (appropriate). Then, still freaking out, I had HCG levels drawn. Then, the hyperemesis started and I initially declined fluids... I don't know why she puts up with me...
