Am I just being foolish??

Question

I am 15 weeks pregnant. 2 ultrasounds (because I am high risk from high blood pressure with my first baby) everything is going great. I'm scared to death to buy anything or even think ahead. It took me 4 years to get pregnant with my first and 5 years for this one. Do you feel I should worry about this pregnancy as much as I am or am I just over reacting? I realize I'm in the so called "safe zone", but could I be fortunate enuff to actually have 2 children when I've had such a hard go of it to get pregnant? I just keep telling myself that no one is that lucky.....call me crazy if you wish, you just won't get the 10 points for best answer! LOL J/K

Wow, talk about incredible words of wisdom and support from each of you, thank you sooo much for your advice and best wishes. Its gonna be very hard to pick out a best answer! I kid you not, I feel relief just reading your postings. If I start to feel stressed again, I will come back and read all your words just to feel comfort again. God Bless and Thanks again!

Answer 1

I think your concern is genuine, but you really can be that lucky. Especially since you've worked so hard for so long to get this 2nd bundle of joy. That's a lot more deserving than some parents. But, just try not to worry too much about your baby. As long as you follow your doctor's directions and maintain your blood pressure, you and your baby will be just fine. Best of luck with your pregnancy!

Answer 2

It is perfectly normal to worry! I completely understand. I had a miscarriage (Triplets) last December and then got pregnant again within a few months. I spent the first few months of this pregnancy worrying and it turned out...everything was fine. Now I am just sorry that I wasted the energy on stress!
The worst part is that I had already prepared myself for mutiples and thought in the back of my mind that I may have somehow cursed myself....but later, after I found out I was pregnant again...I realized...it was divine intervention! They say that god doesn't give you more than you can handle...I already have two children and two step-children.. aged 8,9,10,and 12.....the good lord must have known I couldn't handle three more!!

Good luck and Congrats on the pregnancy.....Just try and relax! If it is meant to be..it will happen!

Answer 3

I don't think you are being foolish, and nobody should tell you that...you have a right to feel the way you feel:) I would just tell you that if you are stressed then your baby can pick up on that and it may stress him or her out and that's probably not good. Just take one day at a time and buy things as you feel comfortable buying them:) Heck, you could even just save the money that you would spend now and get everything after the little tyke shows up:) I am sure that everything is fine and as the saying goes "you can't shake a good egg loose!:o) No worries, enjoy your pregnancy:o)

Answer 4

Everyone who conceives is lucky sweetheart and believe me everyone of us worries. I am sixteen weeks with number two, I had no problem getting pregnant and believe me I am paranoid beyond belief. But calm down sweetheart, you are out of the danger zone and the chances of you having a miscarriage are slim. With any luck you will have a happy healthy baby. Enjoy your pregnancy, be healthy and hope for the best.

Answer 5

I think you should look on the positive side of things!
Your pregnant!!! Its awesome!!!
Take it one day at a time, just keep on thinking about this beautiful baby that you are growing in you!
And you are only 15 weeks pregnant.... theres no need to start buying things yet... but, I think it would be good for you. I really think you need to go buy an outfit, or some tiny shoes, or even a baby blanket. Just so then you can realize that this is real, you finally did it :) Its time to rejoice!!!!
Good luck!

Answer 6

I won't say that I know how you feel cause I dont....I've never been in your situation before therefore, I'm not really qualified to say how you should feel. I will say though that in my opinion, I dont think you should worry about tomorrow...I think you should live everyday to its fullest...I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I dont know what I would do if something were to happen to my baby...I can only imagine how I would feel...but I'm living each day in faith...believing that everything is alright and it's going to be fine..and everyday I wake up excited because I know it's one day closer to me meeting my baby and seeing his little face for the first time...sometimes God makes us work and wait for things so that we will appreciate them more...just think of how much more you will love and appreciate this child because you had to wait so long for it and you had to work so hard for it. Accept God's blessing...and have Faith that he will do what is best for you and your baby-

Answer 7

I don't think your crazy, just being on the safe side. Worrying is probably why you have high blood pressure. Right now you are in the safe zone like you said, just relax and enjoy what is going on. If you are having ultasounds being done alot, and everything looks good, i wouldn't worry b/c you are just going to stress yourself out more and you are going to put that stress on your baby. and you don't want to do that. goodluck and i wish you the best

Answer 8

I think because you went through such a hard time to get pregnant, you deserve it more! You're going to be fine and have two wonderful children. Be happy, relax and enjoy this time. Good luck to you!

Answer 9

Relax...i know its easier said than done, but realize the more stressed you are, the more stressed your baby will be. So try to calm down, and enjoy being pregnant. Go out and buy things for your baby, you'll get to meet him or her soon. You just have to remember to take care of yourself in the meantime. Congrats and good luck w/ labor!

Answer 10

First of all, CONGRATS!!! Your pregnant! Its ok to feel however you feel about your baby. Just remember that statistically you are getting closer and closer to having a healthy baby every week that goes by. Buy something! Journal down your thoughts. No one can tell you how to feel or what is "right" to feel. Just embrace the baby and love your pregnancy. Hope this helps!
