So Far So Good Posted: 06-15-06 18:55pm
I have been worried about miscarring for a
while now......I went to the dr last
tuesday cause I was losing my pregnancy
symptoms and he did that quatim blood test
to check my hcg levels and I found out
yesterday at my first prenatal with my dr
that my level last week was 32000, my dr
did another one yesterday and I couldnt
wait so I called him to see if my levels
were still rising.....Now they are at
82000 so that is a really good sign
right?? Anyhow I was a little bumed
because according to the test results I
should be anywhere between 10-12
weeks......And my dr tried to find the
babys heart beat and he didnt jsut kept
comming across the placenta.....So I am
still a little freaked and he knows that
so he told me to make an apptointment for
teh 28th so he could look for the hb
again....Do you all think I am being
nuts......It is just not goign to feel
really until I know that the baby is
really there........And I want to tell my
5 year old son that he is going to be a
big brother but I am affraid to cuase I
know miscarriage can still happen to me,
and last time I miscarried he knew and he
cried when he found out that the baby
died.....I think I am just being paranoid
but I really want this baby I have beent
tying for 2 years with 2 miscarriages
along the way....Sorry it was so long but
I just needed to tell someone about my
problems.....Ty all for you support and
everything this forum has been a big help
to me

I Keep Doing This to Myself Posted: 06-15-06 20:34pm
I was so excited about my hcg levels
rising so much....Then I got it in my
stupid head to start surfing the net for
more information.....And I came across
soemthing that made me wonder.....Last
tuesday my levels were at 32000 and 8 days
later they were only at 82000, and
according to the information I found
levels should double every 2-3 day so
doesnt that mean that my levels should be
at 128000 instead of 82000.....I am so
confused with all this hcg number stuff I
just want this pregnancy to go well I am
still so worried
jenn
if anyone can help me make heads or tales
of this it would be greatly appreciated

Hi Jknight Posted: 06-15-06 22:27pm
Im not sure about hcg levels and stuff but
I was reading about them online just now
and it said hcg levels peak at 8-10 weeks
then remain lower for the rest of the
pregnancy. You are probably about 11
weeks so I think ur levels are fine. Dont
worry too much and I hope everything will
work out for u. Let me know how ur appt
goes :)

Jenn, .R.E.L.A.X!!!!!!!!!
I was the same way when preggo with trey
becasue of my 2 previous miscarriages too
and he's fine. I'm sure this baby is a
strong one and has decided ok it's time!
And I didn't know you had an older son
already too?

Yes I have a 5 year old sheldon, he was
born 10/10/2000, this one is due
12/26/06.....I am praying more then anyone
can imagine.....I would be happy as a clam
if I could stay home instead of having to
go to work....Work is the worst part for
me.......Standing for 8 hours I start to
feel sore and then I start to worrrie, I
am tring to relax but I am so scared of it
happening again....My last two m/c I was 7
weeks when it happened so I am thanking my
lucky starts that I have made it to 11-12
weeks

comp till she had her son then went on her

Well as far as the dr goes I am not high
risk........I wish I could go on workers
comp but ei wouldnt cover me for a couple
of weeks.....My dr had given me a note for
time off but I couldnt afford to do it so
I have had to work......... I just wish
that I could see in the future and know
what was going to happen so that I could
stop worring......And the back pain today
is really bad.....Nothing I seem to do
helps.......I am just stressing myself out
more then I need too I was hoping to hear
the hb at my appt on wednesday but he
couldnt find
it..........Arrrrggggg.....Please just let
it happen
