Hellobee Boards

I'm really sorry you're dealing with all of these emotions - it is such a hard road. For me, it took some time. I had to continually remind myself that 'Today, I am pregnant'. Once my awful morning sickness kicked in, I had that symptom to hold on to, and then once I started feeling kicks, that made me feel much better.
I know others have some valuable advice too - I'm sure they'll weigh in.

@FaithFertility: you aren't alone! I don't have any magic words. I am 22 weeks along and the worry hasn't stopped for me.

Honestly, the worry never ended. I thought it would lift once they reached viability, and it got a bit better as each milestone was reached but, it continued until they were born. And, now that they're here, I'm still worried something may happen. I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much worry, but know you're not alone.
Oh, and every time my boobs stopped hurting, I felt an ache or pain or my nausea lifted for a period of time, I was so worried it was a bad sign. That's also normal

I agree with @LMOG47: that the worry never truly ended for me. I tried to take it one day at a time. I thought the worry would be gone after the first trimester but something always popped up for me. I focused on creating the nursery and my registry to keep my mind off of the worry once I hit 14-15 weeks.

@FaithFertility: omgosh!!! Either I completely missed you're pregnant or I totally forgot, but either way I'm so happy for you, congrats!!

My journey hasn't been as long as many people, but after a m/c I was honestly sick with anxiety the entire first tri, and mildly worried up until I hit viability in the 2nd tri.

Once I get past the 12 week mark (which is when I found out about my 2nd m/c) I am hoping I will feel better...I am almost 10 weeks now... I don't have experience as much with IF as I do with staying pregnant..The ultrasound tech at my Ob is really sweet and told me to talk to baby everyday which helps. I try to take it day by day but it's hard. FX and hugs to you.

I'm so glad you posted this. I completely understand where you're coming from. My milestone is making it to the first ultrasound. I'm trying to take it moment by moment, esp since it's so early on. I can't help but think of my previous loss, and some of the stories I've heard. It honestly helps me to pray at bedtime then wake up and go through some positive affirmations. I AM pregnant. I AM healthy. This baby IS growing. I WILL give birth. I hope some more people chime in to give you a little peace of mind and you get to a place where you can really enjoy this pregnancy

@FaithFertility: I only just found out on Sunday and I'm already so worried. I just want to be happy and enjoy this! I want to KNOW that our baby is healthy, which I do... deep down.. but I hate feeling the worry on top of it.

@CatchAFallingStar: I'm only 3w4d (I found out Sunday). I really recommended NOT googling things haha. It always seems like a good idea until all the awful stuff starts popping up. Lots of happy thoughts your way

@Kelli_Deluxe: Yeah, I need to STOP Googling!! I found out on Sunday, too!! I'm 4w1d. Is this your first pregnancy? How long were you trying? Any IF diagnosis prior? I had stage 4 endo and borderline egg reserve. We had been trying since 10/2012. I think after such a long road, it's hard to grasp the happiness and curb the worry. I'm so very happy and excited, but so scared because I'm so happy. Make sense?

@CatchAFallingStar: It's my 2nd, the first ended at 5.5w. We have been trying for 15mo (including this one). DH was diagnosed with MF but supplements got him back on track, everything was good with me except we JUST found out my tube on my right doesn't reach the ovary. I completely agree it's hard to grasp.... I think I'm still in shock we did it on our own, since our upcoming protocol was clomid + iui. And yes, I am with you on the scared bc I'm happy boat!!

@CatchAFallingStar: They aren't entirely sure; my RE believes my body knew it wasn't a good pregnancy before I did. I found out at 4w2d... I don't know what my hcg was but my progesterone was at 3.5. They put me on suppositories but a week later I mc.

My progesterone this time is already a 31 so that makes me feel A LOT better

@Kelli_Deluxe: Yay!! So glad you're doing better this time.
