What grinds my gears..

Question

I have in the last 2 weeks just found out I am pregnant. My partner and I are really happy. 
My hcg levels are increasing everytime I have a blood test except they aren't doubling like they are supposed to. Now I know what this could mean.. BUT .. I am trying to stay positive.

Which would be fine, except everyone is instilling all this dread, fear and anxiety into me.. and I just wish people could just say Congratulations and leave it at that, but no.. everyone has to tell you all the horror stories out there.

I half feel like I'm supposed to just accept that I am going to lose the baby, even though I havent had any bad signs!!!!

Answer

My HCG in both pregnancy never doubled but did rise significantly which I've been told is normal. That everyone and baby is different. As long as they are rising and your OBGYN is not alarm I wouldn't be. What I've learned through my pregnancies is once everyone finds out your pregnant they are a doctor. WebMD has given people the idea and notion they know more than they do. I personally have kept most of my medical issues s and decisions off of most social media and forums. Unless its obvious like surgery I had to have in my first trimester or if I was hospitalized. Its better that way people can't plant the seed of negativity and doubt. I hey do not know better than you health professional that's why they dedicate so much of their lives to their craft, studies and schooling. Not a few hours on google. Best of luck and just block it out it isn't worth stressing enjoy the journey you're on. ❤

Answer

I've been struggling with some internal anxiety about having a miscarriage (2nd time preggo, 1st one ended in a miscarriage). What I keep telling myself is that my attitude now will not effect the outcome, whatever will be, will be. We just need to celebrate the happiness now and enjoy these moments, facing circumstances as they come. Sending you some positive mental vibes!

Answer

Don't let all the negativity stress you out beautiful, stress isn't good for you nor the baby. Keep a positive outlook on it and you would be surprised what could happen, I will send some positive thoughts your way, congratulations mama!

Answer

I have had 2 miscarriages and until the baby was actually lost I held out hope of a healthy pregnancy and that's all you can really do
