Struggling thoughts...
Good Morning ladies -
So we have our first u/s and check up on Thursday! I am so excited ... but so nervous? at the same time. I will be approx. 8wks + 6 days on Thursday. But alot of my "symptoms" are lighter. My breast aren't as tender is the main one. I still have my post nasal drip...and the occasional nausea and holy moly am I irratatable and tired all the time. I know that alot of women start feeling their "symptoms" lighten about this time. But I can't seem to keep the fear out of my head. I remember with my son that I had no symptoms and everything was fine. I don't think I will beable to hold out until Thursday it is going to be so hard. I can't possible be the only women that thinks like this, right? I tried to talk to a co-worker and she just didn't understand ... but than she never had to TTC or had a m/c. So I don't know why I expected any other answer ... Oh well .... I hope today goes fast ;)
I am trying to just let go ... and trust. But it is hard :(
Thanks for listening!

Believe me, I went through the doubts as well! Every day my breasts didn't hurt as much as the day before....every time I got a twinge or pull or didn't feel sick to my stomach I worried!
I was blessed to have an OB who gave me an u/s every month....and listened to the baby's heartbeat every 2 weeks.... still and all I was a nervous mess until I could feel him move myself. Even then I was nervous!
Like you said -- take a deep breath and try to let it go.... worrying does no good and may do harm.
Keep us updated on Thursday!

Gina,
I understand the fear you are having right now (Been thru 2 m/c's myself)... I drove myself crazy until I passed the 1st trimester but it probably wasn't good for me at all...
But you have to relax and take one day at a time... I barely had ANY pregnancy symptoms with my son... I went thru spells of my breasts being more tender than other days... A lot of it is just the hormonal changes our bodies go through... You will have good days and bad days when it comes to symptoms...
Thursday will be here before you know it and the u/s will set your mind at ease... I know it's hard waiting (I am the MOST impatient person I know by the way)... But hang in there and let us know how it goes when you get the chance to do so... Just relax and think positive until then...

Hi Gina,
What you're feeling is absolutely normal, sucks, but it's normal. Even further along in my pregnancies, I always felt this sense of excitement but worry before each ultrasound. I analyzed every symptom, every movement, every sneeze. The one day I didn't throw up, I was convinced there was something wrong with Everett. The only thing I learned that helped was to adopt the mantra "Today I Am Pregnant". Tell yourself that as many times a day as you need to. Keep your mind occupied as much as possible and know that whatever hapens, there is nothing you can do to change it. WIsh I had some great cure, but lean on us and know that you're not alone.
Hugs!

Hi, Gina:
I was so relieved to see your post! I can certainly relate. I had a six-week ultrasound last Wednesday and saw the heartbeat. However, I have had very few--if any--pregnancy symptoms; nothing more than a fleeting symptom once in a great while that can be attributed to anything else. So, I wait for the 8-week ultrasound next week. Last pregnancy I did have symptoms (seems they started around 8 weeks) but at the 8-week ultrasound found out that Baby A was gone and Baby B was not going to survive--but Baby C is now our 11-month son! I'll just have to wait one more week and see...
Sending you hugs.

Thank you to everyone that has posted. I have thankfully had a busy day at work today and been able to take my mind off of the worry part. It's so nice to know that I am not alone :) I guess it's piece of mind. I feel like I can't even share this with my husband because he doesn't understand...he will think that I am a pesamist(sp?) or a glass 1/2 full person... and that drives him nuts. But I am normal.... :)
Everyone have a great night! And thanks again!
Gina ;)
