Need Reassurance (PG MENT)

[Guest guest]

Hello Ladies,

As many of you know, my pregnancy has been going very smoothly so

far! I just saw my perinatologist again on Friday (8/05), and she said all

looks fine. There was no change in my cervical measurement and I've been

feeling great. So what is my problem you are probably asking. Well, it seems

for the last 2 days I cannot stop worrying (more than usual) that something

is going to go wrong. I know I am not being rational and I keep telling

myself to stop worrying. The problem is I just can't stop. At the office on

Friday, we also saw the baby and the heartbeat. So, why do I keep feeling

this way? I keep telling myself I should be bigger by now (I am already

wearing maternity clothes and everyone keeps commenting on how great I look)

or that since I am 17weeks I should feel movement by now, and on and on and

on...

Ok, can someone out there please offer me some reassurance I could

REALLY use it right now! I am very sorry for all of the complaining and

worrying.

Lyn,

I can't help smiling a little bit at your post, only because you are

me 10 wks back. I'm 28 years old, UD and pregnant with my first

(27wks). I was freaking out all of the time even though everything

was going well (actually I had two minor spotting incidents in the

first trimester). I think that you're just in a tough time in your

pregnancy when you've been pregnant for a while and feel like you

should look more, feel more pregnant. I think that all women probably

go through something similar but because we have UD we are more prone

to have it really bother us. One of the things that I did was rent a

fetal heartbeat monitor. I rented mine from heartbeatsathome but

there are lots of places online where you can get them. Anytime I

felt worried I would use that and listed to the little heartbeat and

it really calmed me down and soothed me. Don't worry, that big belly

and those kicks are coming and your not behind at all. I hope this

helps:)
