I hope no one minds if I start this thread! When I go to the main pg after a loss forum, there are all these mamas that are so way far along, and I just keep feeling.. ah, that might not be me! And I have noticed that there are many women in this forum who have had previous losses, so...
How are you getting through the 1st tri? I am so much more anxious than with either of my two other pregnancies (2nd was a 12-wk m/c), so I'd love to hear strategies.
I am only 4w5d right now, and not having too many symptoms--a little queasiness here and there, and the regular 30% temporary iq loss that I get with every pregnancy (it's making work so much more challenging!). I find myself wishing so much for more nausea, just to feel more pg--we'll see if that happens in a week or two. Each week feels sooo long! I have never really gotten much nausea, though, so I'm not expecting much in that department, though I may be surprised, I know!
I also am a tp-checker, though it doesn't really make sense: my first pg, I spotted from weeks 6-9 pretty regularly (more than daily), and it was a totally healthy pg. On the 2nd, I didn't spot at all until 12 weeks exactly, when I m/c'd (within a couple of hours of starting...) And this time I'm on progesterone, which has kept me from bleeding every cycle I've taken it until 3 days after I stop the med, so it's pretty unlikely that I will see anything significant, but still I check....
How's everyone doing??
