Is anyone worrying as much as me? I feel like I am worrying all the time! I don't remember feeling this way when I was pregnant with my son. I think its because I don't "feel" pregnant. We heard and saw the heartbeat last week, and it made me feel better for a while, and now the worrying is back. I don't go for a ob appt until next week...its going to be a long week...

Anyone else feel this way? Or am I the only crazy one!?

I'm with you Donna....a complete worrywart about this pregnancy.......working hard to just relax and not let it consume me.......I think for me, it's due to everything I went through to get here......so I just want to be assured that I am doing everything I possibly can to make this a happy, healthy baby when he/she arrives into the world.

hang in there. you can feel free to send me a message if you need to chat.

Renee

Don't worry you aren't the only one I worry so much. I have the hugest, ugliest cold sore I have ever had in my life right now! I mean so hideous, plus my morning sickness is so out of control I can barely function. I started accupuncture yesterday.. it hasn't helped yet but I heard it takes at least a couple sessions.

Melanie glad everything is going ok. with you. Remember to take it easy.
Roxane cute belly.
I finally gave in and went to motherhood and got a couple of pants and tops. I could not find anything that fit anymore in my closet and I got tired of trying to tuck my belly in.

Hi Girls~ well I am back fron my u/s. Everything looks great! All 3 babies are doing wonderful. Dr. checked their heartbeats and they are beating strong! It was so fun to see them moving around. Baby B was actually waving at us. Soooo cute! Baby C was having a dance party in there... we couldnt get him/her to hold still! Thanks for all of your support Ladies! When is everyone's next u/s? I go to my High Risk Dr. next Wed.

Good Luck to All of Us!!!

Donna I too worry all the time.. from eating a tuna fish sandwich to drinking a coke, I feel like a basket case! Of course the u/s eases my mind for a bit. Then Im right back to worrying! I decided that once you're a mom the worrying still will never go away, so I am trying to take it easy. I know the babies can feel when I am stressed.

Roxanne that is great news about your babies.

Donna, I worry every day. I don't go back to my OB until the 23rd, and I'm always worried that there isn't going to be a heart beat. I can't help it, we've all been through so much just getting to this point.

My belly is fine when I wake up in the morning but as the day goes on and I eat my belly gets huge. Roxanne mine surpasses yours and I'm only having one. I think the majority is just fat that I've gained from the IVF cycles.

anyone noticing hair growing in places they didn't have it before???? I'm getting hair on my chin I'm gonna have to get it waxed if it keeps up!!

Hey Melanie, Denise, I have a ton of dark peach fuzz trailing down to my belly button. Gross! I work at a salon so I might have one of the girls wax it.

I'm getting ready for my dr. appt. here in a couple of hours. I don't know why I am so nervous....we should be able to see the heartbeat for the first time. I'm hoping and praying that it is strong. I'll let you all know how it goes....right now, I'm just waiting until my u/s.

Just got back from my appt. baby is measuring exactly 4w8d......heartbeat is 165 bpm......

nurse said baby looks great.

I'm relieved.....

It made me almost cry to see the little flutter of the heartbeat....what an amazing thing to see!!

Now, I'm thinking that this nausea that I've been dealing with lately will be worth it......

thanks for the encouragement and support ladies, I really appreciate it....

Renee
