viable but terrified

[pinkgem100]

As of yesterday i became viable and am so happy, part of me never believed i would make it past the 20 week mark again, nevermind get to 24 weeks. But i now have this terrifying feeling that i am going to have the baby early or something will go wrong, its got to the point that i am struggling to sleep as i am terrified that i will wake up to find out something has gone wrong, it was only a couple of weeks ago that i was struggling to sleep due to nightmares and now this, feel like i am going to drive my self insaine!! The only consation that i have at the moment is i can feel her kicking and as of this morning saw my belly moving round as she moved, which was amazing & i know she is ok but cant help worry!!! x x

Hey sweetie
I don't know what to say but I didn't want to read then run!!
I've never had the heartbreak and devastation of a late loss and you are incredibly brave to be carrying a little beanie again. I lost my beanie at 11+3 and have found it extremely tough and cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through.

Congrats on reach viability, as I said I can't imagine the panic you're going through but I have been anxious myself, I'm worried about everything from late miscarriage or stillbirth to SIDS and have been having severe panic attacks and have high blood pressure because of it. I've bought a self-hypnosis anxiety CD which I will try this week and let you know if it helps at all.

Just remember to take it one day at a time and remind yourself with every kick that you have a strong healthy baby girl in there. I hope the next 16 weeks pass quickly for you xx

Oh hon, I know exactly how you feel , although my mc was in 1st trim it is haunting me now and everything is paniciking me that something is going to go wrong- an amnio was suggested to me on Thursday and I went into a complete meltdown and could only think of the worst case- am happy that today they didn't think it was needed and I'm on cloud nine !!

I don't know what to suggest but you are not alone xxx

i find that pregnancy after loss iss always difficult, but think positive thoughts, and it will go a long way, that is what i am doing

I am sorry for your loss, I was wondering if you have a doppler, maybe hearing your babys heart would make you feel better and more relaxed??

You need to sleep and rest, it is not only for your health mentally and physically, but your baby's too.

Oh hun, I can't imagine how hard it was to lose your angel. Sending

PAL is hard, but you have to try and keep positive, I am one to talk, I often get down and totally overwhelmed, but the truth is post-24 weeks the odds are well and truly in your babies favour to be born on time happy and healthy. We are all here to chat when you feel low, don't keep it inside and be kind to yourself -x-
