Constant worry..

[glammomma]

I've never posted on one of these before, so bear with me I'm quite new to this haha. So I am 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant right now and I worry myself to the point of crying almost every day. I think of every worst-case scenario I could dream up in my little head (which after multiple visits to the ER turn out to be my imagination).. but I can't help but worry myself sick. After losing my world (first baby) in October, a healthy pregnancy just seems like something I will never experience. I just wanted to post some of the things I have been worrying about to see if any of you ladies have had similar experiences, to see if I should worry about them or not..
The first thing that really worried me is that I had a lot of morning sickness up until about 8-8.5 weeks and now I've only been getting it for maybe an hour or so in the evenings and my boobs just stopped being sore.. But then also starting this week I have been getting horrible headaches that just don't go away and heartburn.. and I cry every day. I cried today when my fiance forgot to get fries and the store, and then again when I dropped my toast on the floor haha which seems really stupid haha but I am SO emotional so now I'm thinking because it's later in my pregnancy that maybe my symptoms have just changed? The other thing I've been worrying about just these past couple days is that I've been having hip pain which is so strange for me, I have never experienced this before.. and surely 9 weeks is too early to feel this.. it's like a stabbing pain in the inside part of my 2 hip bones. I'm not sure if it's just stretching out down there or if it's bad or what.... I am just so worried! Nothing seems to set my mind at ease. I just want to know if anyone else had similar experiences and it turned out to be bad.. I'm just not sure what to do at this point, losing another baby would be so hard.

I had my last bout of morning sickness in the afternoon on the day I was 8w5d, and none since! I get all sorts of random stabbing pains, pulling pains, and general aches. My boob soreness fluctuates like a yo-yo! I had my 12 week scan today and baby looks perfect, I hear his HB every single day, morning and night, on my doppler, and have been hearing it since 9w5d (internally).

Its impossible not to worry when you have had a loss, especially when you lost your first. I had a missed miscarriage last year and that made this pregnancy a minefield of worry, even though my first 2 pregnancies were perfect.

You can't stop the worry, so just take one day at a time and remember- symptoms do fluctuate, alot!

It is perfectly natural how you are feeling, pregnancy even without a previous loss is a worrying and stressful time for some people. After a loss, it can be a very stressful experience and I can totally empathise. I am pregnant after 2 losses and although I am over 17 weeks now, I am still worrying every single day and worrying at every cramp and change in symptoms.

My symptoms disappeared suddenly at 9 weeks and returned a week later. I have seen lots of posts with other people experiencing this around 8 or 9 weeks so I don't think you have anything to worry about. As for your hip pain, I think hip pain is normal and just everything stretching.

I spoke to my local EPAU about any worries I had and this forum was also a great help.

Good luck hun, hope you have a h&h pregnancy, try to stay positive the best you can and take heart that so many of us are going though the same thing
