Suddenly freaking

[wanderinggypsy]

Had a stressful afternoon (little 3 year old son for some reason deciding now is the time to act like a 2 year old after all through the twos being an angel!) and as my stress level rose I became neurotic about fearing a miscarriage. I had one just a few weeks ago, so I keep running off to check if I'm spotting.

I know I shouldn't be so stressed, there's no reason to believe this one won't stick, but after a week of blissfull pregnancy godess feelings, I'm a nutcase.

I get my bloodwork results back from my doctor tommrow. If my HCG is nice and high, I think I will be able to relax. I'm going to go for a walk now to try to calm down.

Darn kids for making me so stressed. They usually aren't like this. They must have radar or something.

I know how you feel. I felt the same until I got my progesterone, hcg, and saw the baby's heartbeat.

Good luck waiting. Do you think your 3 yo and mine got together and hatched up a "stress out Mommy" plan? I'll have to ask DD

Thanks for the reassuring words.
I think my 3 year old is in cahoots with a secret terrorist sect. He's planning something, I know it. The only comfort for me where he is concerned right now is that I'm going to give him and his brother a bath now, read them a story, and then -SWEET MERCY- they will climb into their bunkbeds and go to Sleep.

Don't get me wrong, I love those boys to death and even at the worst of times I'd do anything for them but I swear today they have tried to kill me. My normally sweet and easily entertained boys have a serious case of whining and August Mania. Ugh. Tommorow will be better I'm sure.

about the conspiring kids...



I hear you! I've had a few times of feeling really good and then something triggers the fear & I'm freaking out for a while. Hope you're feeling better today! I think I remember reading somewhere that you've got an appointment soon - I hope that's good and gives you lots of reassurance.

it happens to all of us I think, that first 12weeks is a scary time
I too think of the what ifs, you'll get through it
oh and the kids being naughty, I cant tell you how many times I have told my girsl this morning to stop fighting!

Thanks everyone... I feel better today, but I'm still anxious to hear how my HCG levels are. I should get that from my family doc by 4 this aft.

*here's hoping they're nice and high*

I'll let you all know once I get that bloodwork back!

Thanks again.

Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that I got my HCG levels back from my doc today... they're over 500, which is awesome because withe the baby I lost they were only at around 45 at this point. So they're WAY higher this time, and there has been no sign of anything going wrong, so I'm feeling hopeful, and MUCh much better.

[peacechief]

awesome!! I'm very happy for you
