Appt today

How have you been the last few days?

[melinda]

Ok I guess, trying not to analyze symptoms, which nausea has gone away and replaced with heartburn, which has never happen in my boys pregnancy, and of course all of a sudden I have these bad cramps I don't remembering having before the u/s, just wished wed would hurry up so I will know if just maybe the np can't use an u/s and everything will be fine with the u/s tech, I am confused I bounce back in forth to believing Gods taking care of the baby to wanting to prepare myself for not so good news on wed, I just try not to think about it, just praying that I will be able to let myself be excited with this pregnancy and that I am having baby

Praying Melinda, for you and the baby. I am so sorry they couldn't tell you anything conclusive but still threw in a bunch of stuff to worry about. I hate it when doctors do that.

I'm sorry this is so hard right now. I pray for the Lord's peace during this time, and that you can enjoy this baby, even if it's for a short time. I pray that your mind lets you have a break from the constant thinking about this, and that you can enjoy your family and the time you have before you get either answer.

Know that the more pregnancies I have had the more cramping I have. I literally thought there were times when I was starting to miscarry with Xander this time and it was just pregnancy cramps. They have been worse each time (I guess like after pains get worse with each baby) but Xander is thriving and he never came out as of now, so be encouraged that without bleeding it can be totally normal. I am also not a huge morning sickness person, so my nausea can come and go, and it's totally normal. I think sometimes we get rests around 8 weeks or so from the nausea, then it hits again a week or two later. I have heard lots of women say that, so your lack of nausea can be ok, I have five babies that prove that theory!

I know it's hard, I know how long the days and nights can be when you don't have answers but feel SO much and are in a sort of limbo. Be encouraged that the Lord totally knows this baby, his/her days, and loves you SO much that He will provide the grace you need if the answers you get are not what you hoped for. We love you too, and will keep you and your little bean in prayers. I've been on both sides, so I will cry out to the Lord for you, knowing He wants to be there for you, and every tear you have will be or are in His hands!

Blessings sweet sister, and know you are being held up before the throne of our Mighty LORD!
