Excited and anxious
Hi all! I just wanted to connect to other new moms out there who may be experiencing the same things I am, since I feel like I can't reach out to friends and family quite yet. I'm 33, one early loss, and am now pregnant again 4 months later. Because I've experienced early loss previously, I cannot control my current anxiety. I have significant negative thinking regarding miscarriage and worry at every symptom or lack thereof. I just needed to commiserate. For example, I had an onslaught of acne right around the time I learned I was pregnant (and I actually thought I was getting my period!) but instead discovered I was pregnant. Today, I woke up with dry skin (I mean...it has been 0 degrees here the last two days) but I am still panicked that means I am miscarrying. Every night I lay in bed panicked to wake up to blood (although am on preogesterone-so now I'm also worried I won't know if I miscarried).See! This anxiety is so bad.
Would love to connect with others to help us stay positive! My doctor has been having me go in every two days to check hcg and at 4 weeks 3 days, I go in for more blood work this afternoon!
