High Risk Results - NORMAL!
Traci,
Good news on the testing!
I just wanted to say that the advice Laura gave you is great. I'm glad you do pray. I know from experience that it is very hard not to worry that something may go wrong. But please don't let it consume you. I KNOW that is easier said than done. I've prayed for you many, many times as I have for a lot of women on this board (I can't tell you how many times day after week after month after months Ann was in my prayers) and I just KNOW that the baby you are carrying right now will be in your arms happy and healthy. And I pray that for you DAILY as I pray for the baby I'm carrying. I worried constantly at the beginning, 1st about even being able to find an OB because I was "too high risk" and then about being able to get in enough food and nutrients and then about all the vomiting and horrid nausea I was having and now I worry about the fact that I don't have a belly bump at 4 months (that one is dumb I know....lol but I worry about the baby being small). I just have to give it all to God cuz it will make me an emotional wreck if I don't. And you don't want to get to the end of your pregnancy and say, "Man, I've worried the whole time about this baby and didn't really get a chance to enjoy being pregnant after wanting it for so long". I kind of felt that way after I had my last one cuz I spent a good part of the pregnancy in bed......worrying.....freaking out over everything cuz I was so scared something bad was going to happen. I learned my lesson from that and I'm trying not to do that to myself this time.
OK, so now I'm just rambling. I just wanted to encourage you really and let you know that I'm praying for you, have been and will be and I know there are lots of others ladies on here that are praying for you with me. This IS your time and that baby is going to be here soon....healthy and happy!

I'm so excited to get on the board after being MIA for so long to see you are in the 2nd trimester. Let me agree with the other ladies on terms of being 'freaked' out about everything the whole time. I'm scheduled for a c-section in 2.2 weeks and I'm freaking out now b/c over the weekend I've barely felt the baby move. I debated calling the ob today b/c my appt is tomorrow. I think all kinds of horrible things and wish I wouldn't. I do know about week 20 when you feel the baby move you don't worry as much as the that first trimester. After a miscarriage this very time last year, I worried alot and have a feeling that's why I may be so anxious now. I'm sorry I wi**** wasn't so but I know how you feel. I do know that anti anxiety medicine though not the best answer is an option. I considered it around the first half of the pregnancy. I know there are some okay to have while pregnant ones out there. Your mental state is important to that baby too. I often pray for peace too and encourage that you continue that. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to send a message. Congrats on the test results...I know that was a worry point with us too until baby was 18 weeks.
I won't be taking any antianxiety medications. I am just a worrier, it is my nature. I think after the miscarriage and then the ectopic, having two losses in a year makes me nervious. I keep waiting for the bottom to drop out. It is like I can't let myself get too excited!
The one thing I don't like is weight gain. I don't know what the deal is! I am not eating any differently and I have already gained 12 pounds. I know that I am having some water retention issues but I am just freaking out if I have gained 12 pounds at this point, how bad is it going to get??
Don't be a stranger!
