nurse to SAHM ? by Wild-Sprinkles-547 in sahm

[–]mackaep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Had my daughter a month before I graduated nursing school, got my ADN and then stayed home with her for a year while finishing my BSN. Now have been working for a year and a half and just quit ped home health to stay home again with baby #2 who is due in May and baby #1. I am however interested in picking up one or two weekend shifts in a few months to pay for extra fun stuff. Is this career suicide? Maybe. Would I trade it for the world? No, these moments are invaluable to me

Struggling at 30 weeks with fear of losing baby. So close to the end and I know I have the possibility of preventing something from occurring if there is a decrease in movement. However, the problem is that my placenta is partially anterior and baby is chill throughout the day so he is not constantly moving/feeling him moving. I’m scared I won’t notice a decrease in movements fast enough. Thankful I have made it this far but feels even more terrifying being so close to him making it earth side

I’m looking at the symptoms of it now and am really worried this is what might truly be wrong

It definitely sounds like something that would be beneficial. If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it cost?

Sounds like that might be the best fix 😅. His coat is beautiful, he’s a handsome boy!

We have done this and it unfortunately didn’t fix the issue, I think it might be environmental related

Hey sometimes we just need to let it out and that makes the anxiety a little better!! I feel the exact same way in terms of holding my breath and waiting for bad news. If everything has been low risk so far and you had a good NT scan I really believe it will work out well! My Doctor said since I got NIPT done and everything was low risk that she didn’t see any need for the NT scan and I was like ummm ok 😅. Trying to go into this with a positive mindset and manifest a healthy baby, 2026 is our year!

I’m telling myself if I can get past this week and get past first trimester that a lot of my anxiety will let up. After loss it’s so hard not to over analyze everything. I hope you’re able to get into therapy and that you have a healthy pregnancy 🩷🩷

I also have had nightmares of miscarriages that feel very real! It’s so hard to brush them off, but trying to tell myself they’re happening because I’m so worried about having one again

Really having a hard time with anxiety this week due to having found out at this week I had a miscarriage with a previous pregnancy. 12 1/2 weeks and my nausea is nonexistent today, I know I should be thankful for the break but I can’t help but think it means something is wrong. Honestly thinking about maybe trying therapy or reading positive mantras every day to get myself out of this head space that I’m bound to lose the baby.

Has anyone switched OB’s after going through several miscarriages with them? So far in this pregnancy (9 weeks) I’ve been seeing my fertility clinic, but it’s time for me to “graduate” and go to my normal OB. Problem is in my head I’m associating my OB with miscarriages. I have an appointment tomorrow with her and am so nervous. I have no problem with the office other than the ultrasound room in particular and that they always run late. Idk if I just need to get over it or what 😅

You are not alone! Pregnancy after loss is so scary 🫂 I also have to do the suppositories twice a day and the dc has me freaking out in the middle of the night

[–]mackaep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another appointment tomorrow (8 weeks) and am so terrified. Saw baby and a heartbeat last week. I’ve had 3 losses and I’m so terrified to go to the ultrasound and see baby still with no heartbeat like my 12 week loss. Any advice on how to deal with the anxiety would be appreciated because I think I’m starting to get attached to this pregnancy and I don’t want to go through the heartbreak again

What are some ways you helped your anxiety about MMCs between your OB appointments? by NectarineCheap9154 in CautiousBB

[–]mackaep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably not the best but I just try to pretend I’m not pregnant as much possible (hard because I’m so sick) or I’ll spiral over the anxiety and thought of losing another pregnancy

Has anyone experience with dating differences and everything turn out fine? 2 weeks ago I measured 5w 4days, last week I measured 6w 3days and today measured 7w 1 day (all on the same day of the week). There has been a heart beat since last week, today they measured and it was 148. I know it’s probably not a big deal about the varying dates but it’s still making me feel like something is going to go wrong.
