When do you start feeling relaxed?

[Elhaym]

I still get crampy stretching pains pretty often and baby is happy so far

I'd say I've only just relaxed in the past couple of weeks, haha. Feeling kicks now so that makes it more real, but I already worry when she moves a bit less only made my first purchase today, a couple of sleepsuits, and I could cry looking at them they are so small and cute in a way it still hasn't sunk in. I still felt scared to buy anything, even a while after the 12 week scan.

LOL at the toilet paper checking, I still do it every time without fail, don't think I'll ever break the habit now

I went through the whole rollercoaster of emotions throughout my pregnancy, with caution throughout. When I passed the point of my m/c, I was cautious as it was still early 1st trimester. At the 20w scan, seeing him as more than just a little stick figure, it gave me hope but I still was nervous. Seeing him at my 37w growth scan, it hit me that he was going to be here soon, but there was always a part of me that was cautiously nervous.

He's almost 6w now.

Yes, I check my paper after every pee. I just can't help it...

I'm glad I'm no the only one! I do the same. It's just so scary after experiencing a loss.

And he's gorgeous!

I just found out 10 days ago that I am pregnant after 1 mmc and a chemical...

It's such a rollercoaster of emotions. One minute I am so excited and relaxed and the next minute I am doubtful.... Just wondering when I am going to feel excited!

Hi, I just wanted to say that you are not alone in your rollercoaster of emotions!! I was only saying this morning to my OH that I wondered if it was normal to be so positive one minute and then doubtul and saying the worst is going to happen again the next minute.

I personally feel that we are normal for feeling like this!! How can we just behave rationally after what we have been through? We are going to have good and bad days/times. I, myself, am already driving myself up the wall with the checking of the toilet paper every time I go, which does feel like about 100 times a day at the moment so that must be a good thing(!!) but as I have no other symptoms of being pregnant, I then think the worst again........ Grrrrrr, is a nightmare!!

Be excited about your pregnancy, its ok to have worries and doubts but just don't let them take over. You are only human and if you didn't have any worries or doubts at all then it wouldn't be natural. Someone on here told me to picture my baby growing at all its stages and that is really helping me to stay positive and happy! If you want to offload at any point, just let me know - I can listen, sympathise or tell you to get a grip - whatever you need!

Good luck and I'm here for you if you need me...... xxxx

Jaime, remember that our hormone levels are all over the place at this early stage, so symptoms are going to come and go.

 

[jrowenj]

Thanks, Jes... it just seeems like the past few days they have been less and less sore and now today they arent even the slightest bit sore... ughhh... i can't wait for my scan in 3 more days so I can relax a bit

I had a decent spot of red blood on wiping just now. I only had one glass of water today because I just got up from a nap (slept from about 1030 - 1). I don't want to freak out, but I'm wondering if I should go be seen. I know if I tell DH, he will just tell me to relax, drink water and probably won't offer to take me in... wondering what to do...

hmmm.... maybe drink a lot of water and see what happens... if it persists after you drink some water throughout the day then call a dr?

 

[duckytwins]

I called my nurse and she said it sounded like I need fluids do I'm off to the ER to get redydrated.

 

[jrowenj]

Jes, keep us posted. Thinkin about you

Glad I am not the only one who can't relax. I spent the morning crying instead of going to work. Have had spotting, lessening of symptoms, so on so forth. I've had good hcg levels and a positive u/s but that doesnt help my anxiety now. Having an ultrasound tomorrow to reassure me. Doctor wants me to see a psychologist. I feel like I'm abnormal but relieved its not just me.
