So this is my third pregnancy, hopefully second baby. My first pregnancy ended around 9 wks with miscarriage with ZERO symptoms. I didn't know until I went for a dating ultrasound, there was no heartbeat. Second pregnancy was plagued by a subchorionic hemorrhage, so I bled from wk 6 to wk 18...Then I was induced at 38 wks for a calcifying cord and SURPRISE!!!!!!!! My baby has Down Syndrome! Even though all of our prenatal screenings were negative. I had at least 15 ultrasounds during that pregnancy because of the hemorrhage, no markers were found, and the blood tests were all negative. Don't get me wrong, I love my son with all of my heart, he is absolutely amazing...but what a shock. Oh, then after he was born we spend a month in the NICU because he was sick when he was born.
So here I am, pregnant again, about 6 weeks along. I got a BFP at 3 weeks!!! Having tons of pregnancy symptoms. Sore breasts, whole body aches, extreme fatigue, moodiness doesn't even begin to explain it, nausea to the max, intense sense of smell, I can't even open the refrigerator, and pelvic pain (that I never had with either pregnancy before) One odd thing is, I am still losing a good amount of hair in the shower. Is that normal?
So I have been trying to keep myself calm...but every time I go to the bathroom I am expecting blood or something weird. I am so excited for another baby, but I am just paranoid because of my past 2 experiences.
Anyone have any words of wisdom? Am I just insane? I have a very supportive husband, but I think I might be making him crazy with my paranoia...
