First Trimester Fears....

[prov31princess]

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. It doesn't matter how many times I've done this....I am always nervous in the first trimester. I miscarried with my very first pregnancy and it was absolutely devastating. I feel sooooo much better when I am actually showing and can feel the baby moving. How about you guys???

I know that uneasy feeling. I am 5 weeks with my second child and I think I am more nervous this time than I was during the first pregnancy. About when is it that we start to show? I can't remember much from the early days of my last pregnancy.

I understand as well. I have had 2 miscarriages since april. I got pregnant in april and miscarried at 6 weeks. The next 1 was pegnant in june and miscarried after 4 weeks. Its the most depressing thing in the world....after lots of prayer and thanking god for sending my babies to heaven for his own reason, i got pregnant again and am now 2 months pregnant with everything going well. I am so thankful and still prayful. I take care of myself twice as much as i should. And i have never made it this far and i am really getting the symptoms. The morning sickness, nausea..all day, cravings, the breast pain, i'm also breaking out alot, my hair, nails, and eyebrows grow fast and long. I am extremely tired and have lots of body pains. My husband does deal with my mood swings as well....poor guy. Its all very surprising to me, lots of people tell me i dont know what i got myself into since im 18, but my husband and i really want this baby, no matter what i have to go through.

I am nearly 22 weeks pregnant now, but I completely understand where all of you are coming from. My first pregnacy ended in miscarriage and I was TERRIFIED od something happening with my second pregnancy, but I had a BEAUTIFUL baby boy 15 months ago who is doing fantastic. This time around, I was less frightened, but still very uneasy. Of course, things went better than the last time even and now I can feel the baby moving, I am showing, I have had a couple ultrasounds, etc. It is totally normal, but I am sure you will all do WONDERFULLY. BTW, I found that I "popped out" a bit much earlier the second time around...around 10 or 11 weeks, but then it took a while to get any bigger/rounder. So you might start showing very soon. But then again, maybe I just had a lot of gas. :(
