When does the stress leave.....

[Bex]

ok so i'm really just feeling a bit sorry for myself!!
We have been blessed after three and a bit years of TTC and a couple IVF attempts that left us feeling deflated it was our last try before going organic and we got one lil embie that decided to stick around.

I have been weeing(TMI) blood & after a over reacting Gp y'day causing me much stress saying she was worried about the baby's well being as there was protien as well & then 2 and half hours of searching for some where to have a scan my OB rooms found somewhere.
Our lil BOY(YAY) is doing really well. But looks like I have a complete placenta previa!
Which they are saying may or may not be causing the blood in my urine.... so now the waiting game begins to see if there are any other reasons as there is no evidence of infection.

Plz don't get me wrong I am really thankfull for our pregnancy and love being pregnant. But I have felt I haven't gotten to enjoy it as much because of the worrying... at the start in case I had MC, then I was bleeding at 11 weeks & then the last week its this.

I'm scared of having a cesarian! I don't have any one who really understands my worries my husband bless him thinks I over think things which I probably do. My sister is unwell & my friends all had easy time when conceiving and pregnancy!!

Thanks for letting me vent!!!

I think we stress so much about pregnancy because we really know that it's out of our immediate control what happens. That's how i feel anyway and it must be so much more stressful for you.

I feel for you, I really do. My story is similar, long time TTC then the loss of my twins, then complications with this pregnancy as well. I'm trying to enjoy it, but sometimes it's hard. I have placenta previa too.

My advice is to try and get in tune with your body and your baby as much as you can, meditate and visualise your baby coming home with you. I know as DANNIM said, it really is out of our control and no amount of mediatation, visualisation or Dr's visits will change that, but it can make you feel better if only for a while. I know it works with me.. Know it's ok to be anxious, you're worries are real, but know it's ok just to be a normal pregnant woman that thinks there will be a baby at the end of it all.

The fact there is no evidence of infection is a great sign. If it's blood from the placenta previa, you will probably be on bed rest.. When do you find out what the blood is from? The waiting game can be awful..
