DTD once pg

[Kahlan]

Hi Janie, Thanks for the advice... especially the orgasm bit. Don't mind sacrificing that a bit more. You must very relieved to be off the meds... I hated the crinone so I assume you would hate the pessaries as well.

Were you very nervous during the first few weeks? I freaked out with every little thing and had to google to find every bit of information. Hope this uneasiness wears off soon.

Hey Kahlan - I found for the first 10 weeks I felt like I was in a bit of a fog... My MS was bad enough that I just sort of "existed". I really couldn't think much at all which was probably a good thing (although not good for work!) Also the fact that we had a scan at 6 weeks 3 days and then our next scan was at 8 weeks really helped as I got to see that everything was okay on a regular basis. However, everytime something would crop up, no matter how small or stupid it seemed, I would call the MW's at my OB. They would always have useful tips or a reassuring word that helped me through. The MW's said to be very careful of the internet as there is a lot of information out there that is not 100% accurate - so if you have an OB - utilise them.

Probably the hardest time for me was going off all my supporting meds... I was petrified that they were all that had kept the pregnancy going.

The nervousness does lessen over time. Once you reach that magical 12 weeks you really do breath a sigh of relief. However, from 12 weeks to 16 weeks was probably hard on my mind because the MS had gone away and I couldn't feel any movements - so one lot of worries was replaced with another! But I guess all this worrying is good preparation for the rest of our lives as parents!
