Are my breasts still sore?
Do they feel a bit smaller?
Is that a stretching pain or cramping?
Is the ache going away with Tylenol?
Do I still feel pregnant?
Will I get to bring home a living baby?
I'm two days away from 14 weeks, the point at which we learned our second baby no longer had a heartbeat. In actuality, we're already ahead of that pregnancy, since our second baby stopped growing at 12w3d, and we definitely saw a heartbeat with this baby at 13w1d.
I knew this was coming, but it still takes my breath away. Sometimes I can stop the thoughts before heading too far down that path, and other times, the fear just wants to take over. It becomes not about one day at a time, but rather one hour or even one minute.
I wish there was a button we could push to turn the anxiety off. It gets better after each milestone, as a whole, there are still days/moments. Praying for you!!
ReplyDeleteMany, many hugs. It isn't easy, and while I'm sure passing the big milestones will help, those questions are always there. Sending love and hugs and prayers!
ReplyDeleteKeeping you and your little one in my prayers every day. One breath at a time and then be amazed at how quickly they've added!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for 14 weeks!
Praying for His peace to surround and carry you through this anxious time...
