Pregnancy Info HOME

Thank you tina, I know I'm kind of having one of those bouts of anxiety over here. It's ok though as I know it is kind of brought on by the fact that some girls I know are having a rough time right now in pregnancy. I've been a part of a tight knit group on the miscarriage forum for over a year ( i started the thread after one of my losses over a year ago) and I love it, but that forum also is a bad area for me because I also see all of the scary threads posted that at this point in my pregnancy I don't want to see. There seem to be a lot of stillbirths and 2&3 trimester losses lately so it's scary to say the least. I know my baby is doing fine I just am new to this all and still don't know what is normal and what is not :) I've got L&D's number that I can call if I feel the need but I started cleaning and that's taken my mind off of things some. Is vacuuming ok at this stage of the game? I didn't want to flood our thread with all these inane questions so I figured I'd get wider response by posting on the general board, lol...

I posted this firstly because I could feel your anxiety and my heart ached for you - i was where you were 9 years agon - a scared neurotic mess! NO JOKE that's why I wanted to say I AM HERE FOR YOU but I know sometimes you need to hear it from a medical professional but I did experience placenta previa false down syndrome diagnosis and spotting and weird pains and lots and lots of anxiety don't feel that way we are all here for you and those of us repeat moms have all been where you are...yes it's ok to vaccuum and do pretty much everything you did prepregnancy with the exception of heavy lifting and common sense stuff.....we can't live in bubbles and our babies are so well protected it's amazing.....I just wanted you to know that I am here for you on an individual basis if you need me - i am not bothered at all by questions....and sometimes it's just nice to hear from someone else that they have been there too....I jumped on that thread once and there was such devastation I have stayed away...I also get tormented with crazy what if thoughts but I get my peace from knowing and I will never be able to predict the future and whatever will be will be and there isn't a d__n thing I can do about it or fix it so worrying about it is just making it worse - good that you are cleaning and keeping your mind busy....call L& D all day long if need be....that's what they are there for and YOU sweetie aren't the first anxious mommy to be they have talked to....they are pretty understanding at my hospital and I am sure there are some sweet understanding nurses at yours! HUGS to you girl I am here for you!

Thank you thank you thank you, I can't say that enough :) Wow, you sound like you had quite the ride with your pregnancies!!! What's funny about my anxiety is that I have had a pretty perfect pregnancy so far! I think sometimes that is what scares me though...like i'm waiting for something to happen. That's how my mind works (I got it from MY mom, lol)....still cleaning here. Hoped to be out of this place by now, but hopefully soon for lunch. Thanks for being so understanding and helpful, seriously :)

Sweetie it's my pleasure -but mabye it's time for you to accept that fact that you my dear are going to have an uneventful - happy healhy pregnancy...LOL stop waiting for something to happen! You silly goose - I am so calm this time around and I can't really explain why - I am so calm and I have had lots of thoughts but so far so good for me too. I have my next ultrasound appointment coming up and I stressed a little about some of the other stuff I have read about water on kidneys -- stuff like that but I just stay positive because no matter what they find in there - I can't change a thing....so just be positive everything is going to be fine you'll see....glad you are feeling better
