How are things Sloan? Been thinking about ya. Been awfully quiet around here.

Hi Elpha,

Things are going ok. I am kind of stressed about things. I have zero symptoms so I am wondering what is going on, i cant get in to the Dr. until Dec 18th, so another two weeks of waiting. I am having anxiety about actually having a baby, I find myself wondering what the heck was I thinking? My husband acts like nothing has changed and doesnt even really speak about anything baby related. Its just weird because you want to get pg so bad but then when you are, all the friends and people that were begging you to do it and acting like your bff's, suddenly disappear and you realize, that you are really doing this all by yourself. I am constantly thinking that my husband will resent me and that i have made him mserable, and possibly myself miserable.

I'm sorry you're feeling like that- I was also super stressed the first few weeks and googling every symptom I had or didn't have

I'm 11 weeks now and just had my first OB appointment with an ultrasound and got to see the baby swimming around, but before then I was in this strange zone where it's like I peed on a stick and it was positive, but everything beyond that was just unknown. You don't know what will happen tomorrow let alone a few months from now. And then very few people knew and my husband is not exactly stepping up to be supportive and it was really hard. Somehow the time does go though and seeing the ultrasound yesterday was amazing- it really does make it all worth it.

thanks MrsJP! all we can do is hang in there, i guess.

Hi Sloan,

:Hugs: I think that your feelings are completely normal! I've heard of lots of women feeling that way. This is a major life change that will seriously (negatively and positively) impact your life and your relationships - not worrying about it would be weird!

I've definitely had some "Oh shit, what did I just do" moments.

Funny that you mention having no symptoms. When I went in for my 8 wk scan, I was worried that the doctor would find that I wasn't actually pregnant. I was worried that I wanted to be preggers so bad that maybe my body had been lying to me! I had false symptoms in the past, so why not again? When I was sitting in the doctors office waiting for the doctor to come in, I told my DH that fear. He said that he had the same fear!! Haha!

Elphabaa77 · Dec 5th, 2012, 17:55 PM

Awe, I'm sorry Sloan! Hubby probably just needs a little more time to digest, as do you. I am sure once you hear that little miracle's heartbeat you will both fall completely in love. Things will change, but think about the good ways things will change as well. Doubt your hubby will resent you. *hugs* I hope the stress eases for you soon. Have you taken any pregnancy tests lately? Maybe that could provide reassurance if you aren't feeling any symptoms.

I'm about 10 and a half weeks now. Things seem to be going good. We saw the heart beating like crazy at the 8wk appt. Doc said that was a great sign and significantly reduced the chance of miscarriage. Most of my symptoms have pretty much gone away. For a few weeks there (maybe 6wks-9.5wks), I had painful uterus stretching cramping and always felt like I had a hangover. I thought one of the benefits of not drinking alcohol was no hangover? haha! Having few symptoms now, I feel like the queen of the world.

When is your doc appt? Are you excited for it?

How is everyone else doing? Doing anything fun for the holidays? Maybe a few BFP's for Christmas/New Years???

Elphabaa77 · Dec 6th, 2012, 13:55 PM

Not too much planned except a lot of work! I do the marketing for the largest chain of liquor stores in Indiana. Keeps me busy this time of year.

My only big thing coming up is my '6 months and not pregnant yet' follow up with my OBGYN to discuss the next step. Of course I am secretly hoping to find out I am pregnant right before my appointment. I think, if everything pans out, I should be ovulating today... or I suppose tomorrow. If that happens, I should be testing approx. 4-5 days before Christmas. Hoping for a miracle to bring some light back to the holiday. It hasn't been the same since my Dad passed in 2010. He LOVED Christmas, so now it is more of a painful reminder to my family if how much we miss him. He wanted me to give him another granddaughter so bad. He was a great PawPaw. It really WOULD be a huge Christmas miracle to find out that this is the month. I just try not to get my hopes up anymore.

In the meantime, I am trying to come up with good questions for my OBGYN as we decide the next step to take.
