I'm obsessing again...

I can't help it! I'm scared all the time that something is going to go wrong. I can't stay positive Yesterday, I was so stressed at work and then came home went to the bathroom and I had very very light spotting ( only when I wiped). I freaked out thinking that because I was so stressed I harmed my baby. Even seeing the heartbeat the other day has not calmed me. I am 7 weeks and can't imagine what the next 5 weeks will be like till I reach the end of my first trimester. I analyze everything...like this morning my breasts don't feel as full and they don't hurt as much, I have no m/s..I know I should feel lucky but I don't. Having m/s would at least make me feel like something is going on inside me. Thank god for now the spotting has stopped. How do I get through this? I want to stay in bed everyday and not move for the fear of something going wrong. I knopw if its meant to be it will but that doesn't take me very far anymore considering I've been through this 3 times already (although I've never gotten this far). Thanks for letting me vent.

I know how you feel. I'm only 5 weeks and yesterday morning woke up wtih sharp abdominal pains. Now I'm actually terrified of my 1st doctor's appt thinking there is going to be a problem.

Re: I'm obsessing again...

I felt exactly like this for weeks. I felt like everything I did was harming the baby. TMI, but everytime I would go to the bathroom, I would expect that I would be miscarrying. Fortunately, nothing has happened. I'm now 15 weeks, and I realized yesterday that my obsessing has pretty much gone away. I told my doctor that I was freaking out like this and she said it's completely normal, and that if I ever needed reassurance, to just walkin to her office and they would check me out. Luckily, I never got that bad, but from what hear, all that worrying is normal. At your next appt. I would tell your doctor your fears, and hopefully he/she will be able to calm your nerves a bit. Hang in there, this too shall pass

Re: I'm obsessing again...

I know it's so hard, especially when you have experienced a loss prior. That blissful ignorance is gone..

I m/c'd at 5.5 weeks, then conceived without AF about 3 weeks later. I was a mess!!
Everytime I went to the bathroom, I waited to see blood.

The time passes quickly, it may not seem like that now but it really does.

I got through that dreaded 1st trimester but just taking it day by day, and thanking my lucky stars they gave me one more day with the lil bean (I still do this). Days grew into weeks, weeks grew into months. I am now 22 weeks. I can't believe I my pg is 1/2 over already.

I really tried to forget I was pregant in the beginning. I didn't lift anything, do any exercise, just came home from my VERY stressful job and relaxed with my DH.

You saw the heartbeat, you already made a huge leap. You chance of m/c dropped already.



I obessed just as much as you are right now, have faith it will get better and be okay!
