How do I stop WORRYING??

Well guys Im about 8wks 3d...Which Im very happy cause I've never made it this far...BUT how do I stop worrying that the baby is OK?? I really dont feel that much m/s and my boops are sore but not all the time...My next appt isnt until 03/02...Do you think its too much to call the doc to see if she'll see me sooner cause Im paranoid???

Re: How do I stop WORRYING??

Nope, you call your doctor anytime! They know this and expect it from expecting mommies. To tell you the truth I didn't stop worrying until I was half way into my 2nd trimester. Even then it really doesn't go away but you are constantly comforted by the growing belly and constant movement. As you know, try not to worry yourself sick. It'll be ok.. It's only normal, I'm sure a ton of people will respond that same.

Hey
After all you've been through, I don't blame you. To put yourself at ease, yes I would go ahead and try to get an earlier appt.
No harm in being extra careful, although I'm sure you and your bundle of joy will be fine.

Did you find another doctor by the way?

Let me know if you need ANYTHING.

Love Ya,

Liz

PS - Congrats on making it this far. I have a good feeling

Re: How do I stop WORRYING??

I am so sorry you are feeling this way. From your post, I am assuming you have had some m/cs in the past. If that is the case, I would definetely call OB and ask to be seen sooner, given your history. Even if that is not the case, your fears are so normal. I totally felt that way until I could feel the baby move. Hang in there and listen to your heart. If you need reassurance from the OB, then ask for it - you deserve it.

have faith that it will all work out. But if you need to call your Dr, by all means DO IT!!!!!

Re: How do I stop WORRYING??

If you are worried, call your doctor. IMO, you can't necessarily use m/s as a guide to anything because some people are very lucky and don't have very much...I worried about different things the whole time I was pg so I don't think you really ever stop worrying completely...you should try to relax and enjoy being pg, but by all means, see if you can get in to see your dr. Good Luck and Feel Well!!

I don't think you ever stop worrying. I am in my third trimester and whenever I don't feel
movement one day, I poke gently on my belly until I feel a kick. Then I feel better.

Re: How do I stop WORRYING??

What you are feeling is completely natural. I worry b/c I have no morning sickness or other symptoms and feel fine. I know it will be a big relief when you see the baby on the ultrasound or hear the heartbeat. That's how I feel each time I go to the doctor. I want to make sure the baby is still there! Also what helps me when I get nervous is to put my faith in God that he gave me this baby and is will see me through.

Re: How do I stop WORRYING??

I know how you are feeling - it is perfectly normal. I woke up one morning last week and I did not have M/S - and instantly I was worried! (Instead of being happy to have a M/S free morning!).

I think my Dr. understood my worries given that I had a miscarriage in the past. For the first 12 weeks he saw me every 10 days which really helped alleviate (but not eliminate) my worries.

Now that I am at 14 weeks I am on an every three week schedule to see the Dr.

Please do not hesitate to call your Dr.!

Honey, if it will make you feel better, do call.

We cannot have you worrying.

I am thinking nothing but good thoughts for ya.

Just take care of yourself and take it easy.
