Tlex, make your sandwich! If I had a pregnant friend staying with me I would make it for her, your friends/family will think it's cute/funny I'm sure!

Tl;dr I'm having a hard time keeping my anxiety in check. I'm 13 weeks, and now that I'm less worried about general miscarriage, I worrying about more obscure things. Warning: long/trigger?
Ex. I was vacuuming and shampooing the carpet in an old, old car and about 5 or 6 hours into cleaning out the car, I found a dead mouse (car had been stored in the country). I never saw a single mouse dropping, and I scooped the mouse up with a shovel and never went near it. I spent the next week (this past week) googling LCMV and hantavirus and they have these devastating birth defects if passed to your baby. Of course they are both incredibly rare, LCMV is only passed through fresh excrement (of which there was none) but I couldn't stop worrying. I even called my OB and they were laughing and like, "I thought we told you to stay off Google?!" They didn't even say like, well it's rare, etc. They were just like "no".
But I am still thinking about what I could of caught from vacumming the old car (vacumming makes the viruses airborne amd is how you catch it). But I never even saw any poop. And only like 5% of mice even carry it.
I just want to have this baby so badly and it took so long and it was so hard to get here and I can't even picture a happy ending/outcome. |

TW Previous Losses Mentioned I’m sorry for the anxiety Yogurt! I have had similar feelings about this pregnancy. The other two didn’t work out, so why should this one be any different? I too have a hard time picturing this baby actually coming into our lives and becoming a member of this family. I try not think about those things, but it’s hard not to. I work in the medical field, and I wonder a lot if I’m going to expose the baby to something harmful unknowingly. The way I look at it is the vital organs and things are already almost completely formed. They’re just getting bigger now. That gives me some peace about things. All the hugs! You’re not alone! |

H is thrilled that my pregnancy craving is once again PF Changs. 💸💸 Noo! I swear, so many times lately H has picked up dinner and *MY* order was wrong or messed up. It's a small miracle he's still alive, but it's a big factor that I still need someone to bring me food...😉 |

Yogurt, ugh, I'm sorry for the anxiety. I am sure everything is fine but I get it. When is your next appt, I'm sure that will provide some reassurance?

H is thrilled that my pregnancy craving is once again PF Changs. 💸💸 I've had so much PF Changs. I go for lunch probably once a week. I do get the veggies as my side instead of rice/noodles, but yeah give me the orange chicken. I feel like they've changes recently in the last few years and it's fresher/better quality. |

Yes, the fact that the ob office was like, no you're fine was really all the reassurance I needed, but its just not coming from a rational place. Thank you though |

One thing that helped me was to plant something that bloomed that time of the year. Now I think about my loss babies everytime my rose bush blooms. |

Yogurt Hugs. My loss due date was July 27th. I don't think it registered until I just thought about it now. That was the day I got a positive pregnancy test for this pregnancy. So I don't remember thinking about my loss that day. Glad you are taking comfort in being pregnant today.

I'm anxiously awaiting the results of my NIPT testing. I feel like I can't let myself get too excited until we hear everything is okay, so I'm really hoping I hear something today.
Edit: results are in and I have a perfectly healthy baby boy! I'm so relieved!

Had my first fetal tones check and this one was just with a nurse and took maybe 2 minutes. I brought E with me so she could hear and she thought it was super cool and "so loud!" Haha.
I tried finding him at home twice this weekend with H and couldn't again, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong, he's always right in the middle found right away in the office. Stubborn already 🙄 lol

Also, my normal lunch salad still doesn't taste right. I am powering through but, it was my favorite lunch my previous pregnancies...I need to find something else that tastes good this time.

Congratulations wittyusername! How long did it take for your results to come back? I had my appointment last Monday, so a little over a week counting the weekend. Much better than the 10-14 days they told me it would take! |

My OB just called and is able to get me in Monday instead of waiting three weeks! I’m so excited and so so so nervous. I’m ready to just get it over with and maybe feel better.
It’s been a rough week of dreams.
