Getting worried

I am at the point in this pg 5 weeks, 5 days, where i lost the last one sadly to m/c. I am starting to get nervous again, my symptoms seeming to be decreasing. I don't feel as bloated, my boobs are still hurting, but not as much or maybe not as swollen. I am also not as tired as I was in the past couple weeks. I did a have touch of morning sickness the beginning of this week. I am starting to freak out. I don't want to face the inevitable, but I am not sure if this is in my head. SYmptoms can get worse and subside like that? I am not bleeding though.

Please just tell me i am nuts

Re: Getting worried

I am sure this is very hard for you, and I am sorry.

I just wanted to tell you that throughout these 12 weeks I have had many highs and lows with my symptoms. In my eighth week I had so many good days in a row that I thought the morning sickness was over - until it came back a couple of days later with a vengence!! My boobs have been so sore some days, and then not so sore other days. My doctor said this was all very normal. I would get so nervous each time, and then when the symptoms would come back I would get so upset that I didn't just enjoy feeling good when I could!

Please try not to worry and ENJOY the days of no symptoms.

Re: Getting worried

Awwww Michele, I'm so sorry you are stressing like this - it's totally normal, and I had my fair share of freak out sessions in the first trimester after my miscarriage, ESPECIALLY around the time that I had the first miscarriage. Just try to remember that as long as you're not bleeding, you're OK, and that it's totally normal for your symptoms to come and go... I can't tell you how many times a day I would poke my boobs to see if they were still sore (and most often, they weren't). Just wait, tomorrow you'll wake up feeling sick as a dog, and totally relieved that you feel that way Only a little more time until you get to see your little bean on the big screen

Re: Getting worried

I can only imagine how anxious and scared you are right now I'm sorry.

Please don't assume the worst. Symptoms can come and go and vary in intensity from day to day. There were days in the beginning of the PG where my boobs didn't hurt or I wasn't as tired as I had been. Then 2 days later it would all hit me again. Also, I barely had any morning sickness. I am 29/5 weeks and have had an awesome PG so far.

Please stay positive

try not to worry. It's only natural for you to be nervous right now, but it's not good for the baby to be stressing out. It's normal for PG symptoms to come and go. Mine do and you and I are the same length of time along. It's normal for symptoms to fade or get worse. Some times I swear my boobs don't hurt at all and it freaks me out so I poke them so much they start to hurt from that! LOL My friend has 2 kids and she said her symptoms came and went all the time.
It's perfectly normal to feel this way. The last few days I have had more enegry too, which is a nice change since I've been so exhausted. Our bodies are changing so much and hormones are totally out of wack...try and stay calm. I am sure everything is OK.

Re: Getting worried

I agree with what all the ladies above said.

Just wanted to give you some !!

Re: Getting worried

to my dear friend Michele,

Pregnancy symptoms are actually meaningless :) I know it's a way to feel like we know what's going on inside but in actuality it isn't. Bottom line...you are pregnant and will be for about 8 more months hun :) After that, your joy will be right in your arms :)

Re: Getting worried

I agree also with everyone above. You are not bleeding and that is an excellent sign. I am praying for you and everything will be ok and before you know it you will be 5 months pregnant

Re: Getting worried

THank you all. It's so hard trying not to stress out. I will apologize in advance, there's probably more coming. DH and I want this baby so bad, and I really don't want go through the hurt and pain again. All I need to do is to get to my dr's appt next Friday, and then the weekend, and i am sure i will feel much better. Just want to see that little heartbeat.

Re: Getting worried

Dont worry you will be fine!!
You and I both have appts next Friday!! Woo hoo! I hope we both get to see that little heartbeat!!

Re: Getting worried

Michele-

I agree with everyone as well. My symptoms came and went as well in my first trimester...just relax!! you aren't bleeding, so that is a great sign!

Re: Getting worried

I agree too, symptoms come and go.

You sound like me, I drive myself nuts too.

Re: Getting worried

You are fine!!!

Symptoms come and go all the time - at any point in the pregnancy!

Just thank god your not suffering from extreme morning sickness or bleeding.

enjoy it!!

Re: Getting worried

Michelle, just wanted to send some . Please try not to worry. Your little bean is going to be ok.

Re: Getting worried

RELAX!!! STress is the worst thing for you. Yes, your symptoms will come and go, even this early on!

Re: Getting worried

I agree with what everyone has said. In the beginning sometimes I would wake up feeling horrible and then the next day wake up feeling great.. everyday is different. I can't even imagine what you went thru with the last PG, but just know that what you are going through is completely normal!

Re: Getting worried

I agree with all of the other ladies...

Symptoms came and went for me too...especially in the beginning. Although I've never miscarried...I was always afraid that I would...

Please try not to stress yourself out...you and your bean I'm sure are fine...

Re: Getting worried

Re: Getting worried

My symptoms come and go on a daily basis. I wouldn't worry.

Re: Getting worried

I am so happy to hear this is normal! NOt that all of freaking out cause of symptoms, but that everyone has experienced waning in and out of symptoms, gives me such positive thoughts and I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for responding. This week has been sooo hard for me. As I am sure the next 6 weeks will be. I keep tracking the little milestones, tomorrow I will be 6 weeks, and 1 more week till my dr's appt.

Oh by the way last night and today my bb's are spilling out everywhere!!

I am so grateful and appreciative to have you girls to keep me from going nuts! I can't say enough about the support system here oh here's me getting mushy...
