I am trying to keep my mind off of it, and think POSITIVE! But I am SO scared..Right before I had Nevaeh, I lost a baby and I was 16 weeks..Which is where I am now.. I know that one has nothing to do with the other but I am just scared..I had a m/c in between every child..I had Ava, then lost a baby(early on) then I had Zoey, then lost the baby(16 weeks) then I had Vae...So I am freaking, I told my midwife my feelings and she says it's not anything to worry about..But of course I do!
Worst part, is I had no idea..I only went in the next week for results of blood work and while I was there she went to hear the heartbeat and no heartbeat, they confirmed by U/S....
Ok...just needed to get that out...I just want my healthy baby in my arms already!
Laurie, I know how scared you are but I also know this child is soooo meant to be. Don't try to tress yourself out, I know easier said than done. Will your midwife do some extra heartbeat checks for you? Are you feeling any movement yet? You know you and your baby are in my thought and prays and I KNOW everything is going to turn out perfect for you.
Just try to think positively as hard as I'm sure that is. You're going to get through this week with a healthy growing baby in your belly I just know it.
This must be a really hard time for you after what you went through. Just remember every pregnancy is different and just because something happens in one doesn't mean it will ever happen again.
For reassurance, can your midwife let you come in for extra doppler checks for a week or two?
I thought about getting a doppler with this pregnancy, but then I decided I would probably drive myself crazy if I couldn't find it and i would be calling my doctor all the time...So I decided against it..
I may be calling my midwife and asking her if I can come in sooner if I can't get past this feeling...But I am trying to stay positive and believe that everything is gonna be fine..
Thank God for you ladies..it helps having you all to talk to.
*hugs!* Laurie! I know how tough this must be for you! But try to think positive, girl! I thought the same thing about getting a doppler, I would drive myself (and my doctor) crazy! But maybe your MW will do some extra checks for you
Thanks Chantelle and Jessica....I have been thinking to call her and see if I can go in...but I haven't had a chance with all the moving and settling in...But I feel okay, and staying positive..I feel the baby once in a while which SO makes me feel a lot better!
It's hard. I have only lost one (at 13 weeks in April 2011), but even though I am past that point, I still worry and freak out. It's hard not to when you know that things can suddenly change. If you ever want to talk, I'm here.
Those types of milestones are SO hard! Thinking of you. I totally second the idea of getting a Doppler. Really worth it to me! It got me over my worries when I'd have them. Immediate reassurance is a good thing!
