at this point, i am 8 weeks pregnant. over the last 4 days, i had severe morning sickness. ICK! very similar to my sickness when i was pregnant with ely. (that last from week 7-15!) but, all the sudden it stopped. no nausea. no lightheaded feelings. not nearly as tired. boobs were not sore. what was going on??? i began to freak out. i had been so worried about miscarriage since the day we found out...was this a sign? i thought, surely not. there would be cramps. bleeding. so, what does anyone do in this day/age...head to the internet. i felt assured that information on the web would help me relax. there is no way that losing symptoms is a sign of miscarriage, right? well, apparently, it can be. i found tons of stories of women who know longer "felt" pregnant. and, within weeks, found out their baby did pass away in utero. sometimes the body just doesnt know how to pass the baby. introducing, freak out phase 2. i called my doc's nurse in a panic. crying. but, also feeling really stupid. she was so kind and understanding. she squeezed me in that day. she said, "let's just take a look and see how the baby is doing." i was so thankful and fearful at the same time.
a few hours later and walked into my doc's office. this time, head down. terrified. Dr. Fuller asked me some questions and immediately brought me into the U/S room. i had a wad of kleenex and a pounding heart. LUCKILY, so did our baby. baby was fine. measured at 8 weeks. heart was racing. whew. again, i was able to walk out, head held high. heart filled with love and hopes for the future.
