Super nervous/scared....

Shai 💝

This is my third pregnancy. I have two happy, healthy boys from my previous pregnancies. They were basically text book, "normal" pregnancies except for spotting a couple times and a scare due to my anterior placenta with my second. But for some reason, I'm terrified that I'm going to lose this baby. Why?! I'm not ignorant to the fact that it does happen, I've had people close to me lose their babies (maybe this has made me see that it's a real possibility and that it could really happen to me). But for some reason every time I go to the bathroom I expect there to be blood or something.... I'm worried that my nausea, which is causing me to eat and drink as little as possible to not feel so crappy, is making things worse. I never felt like this with my last pregnancies! What can I do to make it stooooop?!

Maybe you can just think that maybe all these differences are because you're having a girl this time? I know I had a weird moment yesterday where I looked down and expected my period. Like I forgot that I'm not doing those right now. I keep reminding myself that if something goes bad, it's not my fault it just means that the fetus just wasn't developing correctly and that happens sometimes.

It makes sense that you're anxious since everything seems different. That would throw anyone of.

Yeah, you're right. I just feel like I have so much anxiety about it all! I'm having some slight cramping which I know is probably round ligament pain or whatever, but it's making me so paranoid!

I haven't even heard back from my midwives office yet 😭 That's making me a bit nervous... And I feel like the sickness in my pregnancies just gets worse with each one! With my oldest I literally only had morning sickness. I was nauseous and/or throwing up in the mornings and fine the rest of the day. Last pregnancy I was nauseous most of the day but otherwise okay. This time the nausea gets worse when I move, eat, drink, or think about food/eating. It's awful. I got prescribed Zofran yesterday, which apparently works super well. But they wanted $37 for SIX pills! No thank you. I'll keep suffering 🤢

I feel this way currently and my therapist suggest something. She said when I have a thought like this to say to my self, “I’m having a thought that I might lose this baby. It’s just a thought and the odds are in my favor right now and no matter what I’ll be ok.” I feel like it will help, second pregnancy for myself too!

Hopefully it helps! I think I'll feel at least a bit better once I have an ultrasound.
