Hang in there and you and your LO can do it. :)<br /><br />I wish you the well with the therapy and hope that it helps with your feelings of anxiety. I know that I can get in those modes, too, and it can be difficult to get out of the cycle. I have gotten better about it. Just be sure to give yourself some room to make some mistakes and know that it is part of learning how to manage the anxiety.<br /><br />Love you!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275071143469111072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090581950903472167.post-15803571531048451222011-01-29T17:38:42.345-05:002011-01-29T17:38:42.345-05:00It is SO HARD to go from weekly ultrasounds at the...It is SO HARD to go from weekly ultrasounds at the RE to waiting a month in between. I have two more weeks I think until my next one. So hard to wait. So happy that things are going so well for you. I have been thinking about getting a doppler.

I'm such an anxious person so my entire pregnancy I was worried about everything. At first I thought I would feel better after the first ultrasound. Then I thought after I passed the 14 week mark I would be better. Then I thought once I got to our gender ultrasound, then it was until our baby reached viability, then it was until I got to my 3rd trimester, then I thought once Lexi was born I would be able to relax... and you remember all the drama with her birth and children's hospital and then her feeding issues after that. So needless to say, IF takes a huge toll on our psyche. It's like we've trained ourselves to expect the worse and it BITES! You are going to have a healthy perfect pregnancy, just keep telling herself that and continue to see the therapist. Once you become a mother (which you are now), you never stop worrying about your kids, so welcome to motherhood! :)Spit Happenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806934349255089412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090581950903472167.post-6332629305294585052011-01-28T14:33:22.249-05:002011-01-28T14:33:22.249-05:00Hi,

The doppler saved my sanity so many times...<br /><br />I didn't do the NT scan either mostly because I would have had to go to another location and I did not want to call my insurance and figure all that out plus meet a new doctor, etc.<br /><br />I hope therapy is able to help you "shut off" the thoughts for a while. I just tried to pretend everything was going to be okay (it worked sometimes)<br /><br />((HUG))Melis.sahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383636143112620937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090581950903472167.post-72992781771022264282011-01-28T14:31:32.261-05:002011-01-28T14:31:32.261-05:00Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I am a worry wart...Hey I am right there with you!!! I am a worry wart, and I come by it naturally:/ Anyhoo I don't have a doppler- wish that I did. However the last time I was at the doctors (almost a month ago, I go back next week- YIPPEE!!) he was listening for the heartbeat and he made the comment because he was having a hard time locating the heartbeat that at this stage it can be difficult to locate because the baby has sooooo much room to move. I was relieved when we were picking up all kinds of kicks and then FINALLY the heartbeat:)<br />I am now worrying about feeling the baby kick. I think that I am, hope that I am but then I worry if I don't feel it for a while etc... So the answer to your question- NO! the worry NEVER goes away, even when they are finally here! But also know you are not alone:) ((HUGS)) Prays and positive thoughts being sent your way. Hope you all have a great weekend!happymomof4https://www.blogger.com/profile/13774686365582800301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090581950903472167.post-35802436498396931982011-01-28T12:22:27.949-05:002011-01-28T12:22:27.949-05:00I'm glad you got a doppler.

I know it can be stressful when it takes a while to find the heartbeat (I remember those times very well) but it's just such a nice reassurance when you have a long wait in between appointments. We also did not do the NT scan (b/c our insurance didn't cover it, and for other reasons) and it was a little tough waiting until the 20 week scan to see Camden again. I think you will always worry because you're an anxious person (as am I) but I really do think the 20 week scan will alleviate a lot of the major anxiety. That ultrasound is AMAZING and I can't wait for you to get to experience it. In the meantime, I'm glad you're keeping up with the therapy (I went to a therapist from my 2nd to 3rd trimester b/c of extreme anxiety & I didn't want to take anything while preggers ). Only 2 more weeks until the 2nd trimester!! That's so exciting!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059564320945844977noreply@blogger.com
