Moments of Pregnancy Panic
Like all pregnant women, I've had my moments of panic. These are times when I worry about how the pregnancy is going and even if it is still viable. I've noticed for me, it increases the longer I haven't been to the doctor. The one month visits and ultrasounds would seemingly calm the nerves, but it has been 3 weeks. The end of last week, people at work commented about the fact that my appetite hasn't increased and that I'm not craving sweets. After that, I started thinking about all of the symptoms I haven't experienced (thing's I am not wishing for) and I started to wonder what is going on and then I panicked a little.
Later, I spoke to my mom. I didn't mention to her that I was nervous. However, I did tell her that I am very glad that I have more ultrasounds than the average preg woman, especially my sister-in-laws who do not plan to have any. I told my mom that it may be fine for care-free mothers-to-be in their early 20s, but I'm in my 30s and getting pregnant didn't come easily in the first place. Do you want to know what my mom said? --"Plus, being in your 30s means that your risks are higher." Thanks MOM!
Saturday morning, I took a moment to think about all of the symptoms I am suffering from like shortness of breath and exhaustion. I also noticed that my belly is popping out a bit more than last week. I'm not so worried about it now, but it is nice knowing that I'll be seeing the doctor on Thursday. Perhaps, I should just buy a fetal heartbeat monitor & stop the insanity.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
