I know I'm "supposed" to be jumping over the moon, but the past couple of days I just feel down and stressed.
Mainly about staying healthy and the baby being healthy. I KNOW I need to take my meds, and of course its not like I'm going to stop them, but I just worry about bad effects from them on the baby. I've seen the docs about my meds, not just the 1st time around, but this 2nd time around too, and had 2nd/3rd opinions.
Everything checks out fine. But its not like my docs will take me off albuterol for goodness sake, right? I need it.
Half of my brain says-the baby's fine. You took this med before and it was all fine. And the other half only sees the statistics I read on the internet about 3.4% of babies having a defect from one medication or another.
I've been through this all before-the pregnancy journey-so you'd think I'd be immune to these fears/feelings. I did not expect to feel this way this time. I really thought it would be a relief to not have to go through these feelings when I've already been down this road.
I just feel scared. Scared of getting sick, getting the flu, scared of getting the flu shot...you name it.
<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I can't be the only one.
With my first pregnancy I felt invincible and confident. Since then (pre-current pregnancy) I've had some real downfalls Cf wise. A couple bouts of illness that shook me up real good. I think that kinda scarred me maybe? I do feel blessed and lucky and strong Cf wise. Its just that now I feel fragile.
Make any sense??
