O.k. I know there is a lot of blogger silence out there lately, or so it seems. But if anyone has some thoughts about this post that would be great.
Now, do pregnancy symptoms differ from each pregnancy? I feel different this time than I did with Lucy. Everyone says "don't worry". Well, I am the worrying type. I am anxious person naturally so of course I worry as well. I just upped my ultrasound appointment to a week earlier because I just can;t handle the wait any longer. I am going in on this Wednesday. Any prayers spared would be very much appreciated. I was just bawling this morning about things and all of the "what ifs" because I just don't feel the same as I did when pregnant before.
I am trying to distract myself until the appointment but it is kind of hard thing to do. Anyone else feel different with their following pregnancies.
I'm not pregnant and have never been pregnant, but yes, I have heard that every pregnancy is different.
ReplyDeletePeople saying relax, probably makes you want to smack them(I hate when they say it about IF). I'll pray the ultrasound brings some relief to your anxiety. :)
Praying for a healthy result, A.
ReplyDeleteNot that I would really know since I've only been pregnant once, but I've always heard that every pregnancy is different. I'm a worrier too. The only advice I have which I'm sure you're already doing is to make that worry productive by offering it up for a prayer intention. Do whatever you need to do for you. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteyeah I have heard that too, never been pg of course but around A LOT of preggo ladies! I hope you just are lucking out with an easy pregnancy! Wish I could help.....:)
ReplyDeleteYes, each pregnancy can be completely different. My mom had 4 live births & each pregnancy was completely different for her. My friend has 3 boys and each one was different as well. Try your best not to worry. I'm praying that the ultrasound will bring you comfort.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it helps, but now that I am pregnant with baby number 3, it is totally different than either of my other babies. I was hoping to get a hint to whether or not this one is a boy or girl by comparing it to my previous girl/boy pregnancies, but this one is equally different so I have no clue :). With the first, I had very few symptoms at all and with the second I was exhausted the entire nine months...this time my symptoms are really sporadic and when they do hit, they are extreme. I will offer up those extreme moments for you and the baby and I can't wait to hear how Wednesday goes! :).
ReplyDeleteAs far as I understand it, every pregnancy is different. I know a woman pregnant with her second child. The first pregnancy went like a breeze; this one gives her m/s, something she's had through the first and second trimester.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. *hugs* It's so hard, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have two living children, one in Heaven, and one in utero. The two who are living, I had pretty similar pregnancies. Differences were that morning sickness wasn't as bad with #2, I had some different food cravings/aversions, and a lot more aches and pains and really bad round ligament pain. Morning sickness started and ended about the same time. I was hardly sick at all with the one I lost. I havent' been sick this time either. My progesterone has been giving me fits (I'm on shots 200mg/ 2x week and 200mg Prometrium daily) and I have been so scared. Some days, especially the day I found out my progesterone dropped between weeks 12 and 14-right when it's supposed to GO UP, I spend the whole day thinking about it. I freak out about how big I am constantly...I know my size is not an indicator of the pregnancy's viability, but that does not stop me from checking in the mirror 6x a day and wondering why I was in maternity clothes at 12 wks with #2 and at 17 wks with #3 I hardly need them. I have had several tearful breakdowns over this. Maybe someday I will think it is funny. Right now it sure isn't.
Anyway, I know what you are going through and you are in my prayers. And it's true that every pregnancy is different. So, like I keep telling myself (it's not working, either): Stop freaking out. Try to put your trust in God.
Yes, I agree that they're all different. With this, my third, my nausea was really bad up until about 16 weeks (oh, just a week ago!). And I still haven't felt movement whereas I had by this time with both of other babies. But I just heard the heartbeat again yesterday so I know everything's fine. I also haven't gained hardly anything yet, although I'm showing big time! So, weird stuff. Every morning offer your pregnancy to Our Lady and continue to ask for trust. It will come! I don't think I've formally congratulated you! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, every pregnancy is different. Most of mine were somewhat similar (no morning sickness), but then two of them did come with some morning sickness, one very mild, the other more awful! But most, nothing. All were healthy pregnancies. Weird, and I can't figure out why (the morning sickness pregnancies were one boy and one girl, so it wasn't connected to the sex of the baby).
ReplyDeleteSo, try not to worry (easier said than done!).
