LTTTCer needing some reassurance....

[Blondie]

Hi there!

Here's a You have recieved some really great advice and a lot of positive vibes from the ladies in here

I just wanted to say that with my pregnancy with DS I felt pretty much symptom free. I felt tired and ate a lot but apart from that pretty much nothing else. I was also worried as I had some people complaining of things I never had but in the end I was holding my little baby boy just as they were and everything was absolutly fine I'm sure things are going to work out the same for you!

Your pregnant! Time to celebrate!

Thanks blonde - I had my first US today and it was measuring 5 weeks 2 days which she said was fine - but I'm still anxious - I was really hoping the US would reassure me - I don't know how I can feel okay about everything. I feel like my symptoms have been non existent this week - and while I know rationally there's no use worrying - I do worry that it stopped growing last week and I'm in for a big fall....

Tryung just to take a deep breath and enjoy it - nothing else I can do and I know there is no reason why it won't be fine....

[Blondie]

Exactly love! The U/S technicians are trained professionals who have seen it all and just because it's taken a while to conceive this little bubba doesn't mean that there is any reason why something should happen....I would have thought it would be quite the opposite - It's more likely to be a strong little bubba - as your body was waiting for the perfect combination to create your perfect baby . That being said, feeling anxious is normal (I too feel anxious!) sometimes these early scans can worry people unnecessarily
I'm sure bubba is baking away nice and steadily in there I'm jealous that you got a dating scan!! LOL My doc said it wasn't necesscary So now I have to wait until 12 week Nuchal scan! Boo!

[buffy1]

Glad the scan went well.

Of course you're worried, it's totally understandable. I did a spotting check every time I went to the loo til I was about 14 weeks!

Seriously, just take one day at a time. The symptoms will continue to come and go.

Big hugs x

Thanks girls - in some ways I just wish I could have a blood test once a week to check the levels and reassure me it's all doubling.... Can't tell if the sick feeling in my stomach is nausea or anxiety...

Probably a bit of both try not to overthink it xxx

Hi hun, just wanted to send you a massive hug I think almost every pg is stressful. We all want a healthy pg and a healthy take home baby. I think for women like us, who have had to work hard to get where we are today, it's particularly stressful. But like the other ladies have already wisely said, take one day at a time. Find a way in your thoughts and actions to celebrate your pregnancy on daily basis. No one knows what is going to happen tomorrow or next week or next month. Celebrate what you have now, a little life growing inside, that safest and most loving place it can be. That's all you can do hun. Pg symptoms are zilch for one and horrible for another. I don't believe it's an indication how well a pg is going. It's an indication of how well a body is handling all the changes a pg can bring. GL sweetie, and chin up. Enjoy your pg and embrace it. You have come such a long way xoxox

[Mumma T]

Hon you sound exactly like me when I was pg, everything you are experiencing sounds like the completely normal terrifying symptoms and feelings.

I found it so hard to just relax and enjoy the pregnancy. Infact I did the undie check til about 30 weeks and finally started relaxing before getting nervous of labour

I am keeping everything crossed for you for an uneventful pregnancy. It's really hard to relax as a LTTTCer i know but I hope you can enjoy your pg

[myturn]

I will try - I know I should just keep busy doing other things - but I'm so obsessed about baby stuff

[Keta]

Sending you big hugs and lots of strong baby vibes! I measured behind at my 8 week scan and then by 12 weeks was measuring ahead! Got my fingers crossed your little one will do the same xxx

[kerbear]

Hey Hun, glad it all went well, the next couple of weeks will fly by. Take a deep breath and enjoy it, you might be lucky and not get sickness and it might have just been the OHSS :-)))
Stickysticky vibes being sent your way xo

[Marley&Me]

myturn. Everything will be just fine

[myturn]

Keta - that is strangely reassuring...

Thankyou lovely girls - your words mean so much more than I can say....

[myturn]

Just had a missed call from my FS - I wish I had not listened to his message - managed to get my headspace into a good space and he dumps it on me.... I know he has to say that - and I know he is just being cautious - but I am scared and DSD is with us and we are out shopping and waiting for our number tto come up for a table at TGIs and all I want to do is crawl into a ball and hide.

My psych reminded me to live in the moment today - in this moment I am trying hard not to freak out and think the worst. But my lack of symptoms this week is worrying me.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

Why couldn't he just let me live in the illusion for a bit longer and just say he wanted another scan on such and such a date.... Bah humbug.

[myturn]

The bit that got me was when he said "because it's developing slower there is an increased change of miscarriage....

I feel like ****...

[Keta]

Oh hun, I wish I could give you a real hug. Easier said then done but keep faith. My clinic wouldn't even do a scan until 7-8 weeks as thats when they felt they get the most accurate result. Hopefully it is just a slow starter and will be beating away strong at your next scan. Much love and healthy sticky vibes being sent to you xxx

[myturn]

Yeah - I kinda wished they had waited in the first place .... I think if I was having symptoms I would feel better - but I feel normal

Enjoy the now.... Right..,?

[Joeve]

Myturn, hugs babe. I didn't feel fully rubbish until 7 weeks. I think for you having OHSS made you have lots of horrible symptoms and now that the OHSS is subsiding you are feeling more normal. I am crossing everything for you darling, its a scary time x
