Ok, this may all be in my head, but I am about 6 wks pg (dr. won't see me until 10) - this morning when I woke up my bbs no longer felt sore and I am not as tired (although still hungry). However, the tenderness in bbs is really gone? No bleeding or cramping, but I am soo scared. Also, bbt at 97.6 ( I don't know how long it stays up).
Am I freaking myself out or is this a bad sign?

HEY,

BELEIVE ME, I THINK WE ALL DO THIS TO OURSELVES. I DID THE EXACT SAME THING TO MYSELF A FEW WEEKS AGO. EVERY DAY I WOULD TRY TO EVALUATE HOW "PREGNANT" I FELT, PUSHING ON MY BBS, SEE HOW TIRED I WAS. AND AT TIMES, I WAS SURE I HAD LOST THE PREGNANCY SIGNS...BUT THEY WOULD RETURN HOURS LATER OR A DAY LATER. DONT LET IT FOOL YOU...AT 10 WEEKS MY MS COMPLETLEY WENT AWAY, AND I FELT TOTALY NORMAL, AND STILL DO, NOW IM 14 WEEKS. I DONT EVEN FEEL ANYTHING AT ALL...IF I DIDNT HAVE A SONO AT 12 I WOULD THINK I WASNT PREGO...SO DONT WORRY, UNLESS YOUR BLEEDING, THEN AT LEAST TRY TO KEEP IN MIND, WE ALL DO THIS TO OURSELVES...LIKE SELF TORTURE!

I agree with Staci - sometimes the symptoms just come and go - plus 6 weeks is still early. My major symptoms didn't really kick in until 7, 8 weeks. I never had major m/s either - just not really an appepitate and very sleepy. Some days my bbs hurt and some days not. One day at a time I tell myself. Good luck Garza and keep us posted!!!

Thanks for your support girls - I'm at work and very sleepy with indigestion (still no sore bbs) . I spoke to my hubby this morning and he said to stay off the Internet - lol, that I am looking for and finding things wrong, but I honestly don't think I am going to relax until dr.'s apt. 9/18 and I hear her little heartbeat (did I say her?). Why won't dr. see me until then, should I insist on coming in earlier???

I guess the truth is there are some things you have absolutely no control over so stressing and worrying just doesn't help the matter. Thanks again and take care, H.

Have our husbands been talking?? LOL!!! My husband told me he was going to disconnect the internet from me b/c I keep freaking out about everythign I read. I swear it makes you a nervous wreck and sometimes I work I do so much damn reserach I can hardle concentrate on my real job!!!! You will find that the further you go along you will be like - OMG I didn't know I shouldn't do that and then freak out! Sometimes I feel like I need to live in a little glass box and never leave the house, but that is very unrealistic. Everyone's symptoms are different and some people i talk to say that they have never gotten severe m/s at all. Is this your first? My friend had no m/s with her first but then major m/s with her second. I have tried to slowly but surely stay off the net but sometimes it is sooooooooo addicting. I realize that we are going to freak out and make mistakes along the way but just realize at the end of the day it is out of our control. Hang in there sweetie!!!

This is actually my second, my DS will be 11 in Oct, and I can't seem to remember much except for by now in that pregnancy, I didn't even know I was preg (didn't find out until 8 wks) - no m/s and I felt fine the whole time until he turned and bruised my rib cage before he was born -ouch. The Internet wasn't as big back then - LOL. I remember finding out things that I had done that I shouldn't have (i.e, I craved and ate sushi constantly, which apparently I shouldn't have done) He was born strong and healthy.

Women have babies all around the world in all conditions I suppose (my DH says they used to drop them in fields and keep working -LOL) I just wish I had the ability to relax and I believe I will once I know everything's ok at appt- stupid dr.

It's great to talk to you and I guess I should be doing some work here as well. Take care, Hope.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and one day I'll feel like myself and the next I will be throwing up for over 9 hours straight. It can differe and if the sore boobs went away your body just got used to it. It happens. With my son I had no symptoms and was 3 months pregnant before I found out. I got lucky on that one lol Now I feel terrible! lol

Garza: Wow! Those exact words came out of my mouth first thing this morning. I am 6 wks as well and today, felt great. For the first six weeks, I ate my DH out of house and home. Then yesterday, my friend nausea knocked at the door for the whole day and night :-( Today, it was gone and I said the exact same thing to my DH...."wow.....am I still pg..temp is still way up there. My problem is, I HAVE To stop analyzing every single detail.....this is our first.....CAN YOU TELL?? LOL . You mentioned in your post to me that you are freaking out on who to tell.....the only ones we told are both sets of parents and my bro (and sis-in-law)..THAT'S IT til an ultrasound.....we hope. It's sooooooo hard but we're just too scared.....so, how are you feeling??

garza74 said on 8/20/2008 6:51:05 PM Report this post
I feel ok, just tired and once I start eating, I can't stop. Today, by 3 p.m., the sore boobs were back. I asked my Dh to buy me another pg test and he told me I was nuts - lol (I'll buy one this weekend) - there's a stupid hurricane/tropical storm whatever coming toward us, so we have alot to do - That's Florida for you.

Anyway, I decided today, I am not searching crazy things on the Internet like "signs of misscarriage" etc. and I will stop taking my temp (this afternoon it was 98.9) - because i'm going insane and I must say since I posted this morning, I feel pg again - can't keep eyes open as I write this.

I, probably have told too many people (friends and family), but that's just me (not anyone at work though) - my dr's appt 9/18 can't come soon enough and I am really going to try to relax and enjoy - my husband is under the impression there is nothing that can happen and refuses to believe otherwise - i love him - LOL.

Anyway, I'm rambling . . . good luck and best wishes . . we'll stay in touch and compare notes w/pgs - - i will have to have scheduled c-section since I didn't dialate w/my DS.

Take care, H.

HEY,

DIDNT I TELL YOU YOUR SYMPTOMS WOULD COME BACK! I SWEAR I SAID THE SAME THING AS YOU...ONE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS....

WHEN I WAS PREGO THE FIRST TIME I DID ALL OF THIS STUFF TO MYSELF...I READ ALL THE BOOKS, AND THE NET, ALL DAY LONG. READ EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COULD GO WRONG IN PREGNANCY. I BECAME A WEALTH OF REALLY NEGITIVE TERRIBLE KNOWLEDGE...UNFORTUNALTY FOR ME, AFTER THE PREGNANCY, I CONTINUED THAT BEHAVIOR...EVEN TO THIS DAY, ITS CALLED BEING A HYPOCHONDRIAC, OR EVEN A CYBERCHONDRIAC. THERAPISTS HAVE TOLD ME THAT DURING MY VERY TRAMATIC PREGNANCY, WHICH IN RETROSPECT WASNT THAT TRAMATIC, IT CAUSED ME TO BECOME OBSESSED WITH HEALTH AND CONTROL, OR LACK OF IT....I WAS NEVER THAT WAY EVER, BEFORE I WAS PREGNANT......AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE....WAIT TILL YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR KID!!!

SO, MY ADVICE TO ALL OF YOU, AS HARD AS IT IS, AND BELEIVE ME, I KNOW, YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! TRY REALLY HARD TO KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE NET, AND ALL THE BOOKS...ITS TRUE, WOMEN DO HAVE BABIES IN THE FIELDS, LOL, MY MOM USED TO TELL ME THAT ONE. IM TRYING VERY HARD DURING THIS PREGNANCY TO TELL MYSELF THAT "WHAT IT MEANT TO BE WILL BE". BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS, YOU CAN SIT UP AND WORRY ALL NIGHT, ALL DAY, AND BECOME A PSYCHO ABOUT IT, AND IT WILL NOT CHANGE, WHAT IS MEANT TO HAPPEN.

WORRY IS A USELESS EMOTION, CORRECT?....YOU SEE GIRLS IM STILL NOT CURED OF THIS CRAZINESS I GOT 8 YEARS AGO, ITS BEEN A HARD 8 YEARS FOR ME, IM HOPING THAT NONE OF YOU WORRY YOURSELVES INTO REAL SICKNESS........:)

Wait till you guys are on your seconds lol I told hubby last night I swore I felt the baby move and close to 8 weeks. Then toinight wiule I was in the fridge getting dinner he pinched my butt and my right side lower abdomen did a little jump. I was like there it goes again, pinch me again! lol Course there is some speculation I could be further along then I am but we will wait till next week after the u/s. I started feeling my son move just shy of 4 months. And for a bigger girl like me, not super skinny, thats huge. Normally the really thin women will feel it first not the bigger size 14s like me.

Cyberchondriac - that's hilarious!!! Very true - thanks for your input - - I have always been a worrier the Net has just fueled it and there are so may contradictions that you just don't know what to believe. that is why, at least until my second trimester, I will stop - lol.

A few years ago I read an article that said 98% of the things you worry about you have absolutely no control over and I try to remind myself of that on a regular basis and my dr. told me w/my son that the worrying itself causes more issues than what your worrying about - I'm tired - Again, it is so nice to chat w/you girls here!!! Take care - TTYL, H.
