I think that being pregnant after loss is just that way. It's horrible to not be able to be as joyful as I'd like, but there are days now when I am more and more excited and less scared.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, Friday's appointment will bring you that peace.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869722164628770533.post-29922839720919978252008-04-01T09:32:00.000-05:002008-04-01T09:32:00.000-05:00I'm struggling with anxiety right now, too.

Then I had one of those dreams you were talking about and now for about four days I have been a little anxious and freaked out. I am glad to feel that you are less anxious after writing.<BR/><BR/>I know sometimes the prayers are challenging. sometimes I realize it has been a day or so since I said one too. I just roll up my sleeves and try to jump back into it with just as much ferver as I had in the beginning. Good luck with it.Kathy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658449843683175580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869722164628770533.post-90036127933346731162008-04-01T01:29:00.000-05:002008-04-01T01:29:00.000-05:00I think pregnancy hormones (and general worry abou...I think pregnancy hormones (and general worry about anything going wrong with the pregnancy) and also being tired most of the time, make it more difficult to deal with day to day worries. I was quite anxious and "blue" in both my full term pregnancies, but especially in the last one after my second pregnancy ended in a m/mc. <BR/><BR/>With regard to prayer, I have found that I grow increasingly anxious, whether pregnant or not, if I do not spend some quiet time with God (almost) daily. Try meditating on a bible passage and spending some time in prayer for a few days in a row and see whether that will lift your spirits.<BR/><BR/>May the Lord bless you. I will pray for you.Annalienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695828781625481890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869722164628770533.post-38282180648230774892008-03-31T19:37:00.000-05:002008-03-31T19:37:00.000-05:00I agree with Farah, pregnancy after IF can be so s...I agree with Farah, pregnancy after IF can be so stressful and mentally agonizing, especially in the beginning. Know that you are not alone and we are all wishing the absolute best for you.

I think you should definitely try to find ways to give yourself more down time, and I personally think praying more will definitely help. Prayer helped me to get out of a particularly anxious time in my life. Even if it doesn't seem like it is helping at first, just keep asking God to lift your fear and worry. And remember, be not afraid!Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322075168200033307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869722164628770533.post-31857820267781911022008-03-31T15:31:00.000-05:002008-03-31T15:31:00.000-05:00I think that being pregnant after IF brings forth ...I think that being pregnant after IF brings forth more anxiety than a non struggling IF veteran would have. I know that in the beginning i had plenty of my own anxious moments. I also think it has to do with the time of year. Seasonal changes bring other changes and unknowns. As always stress causes anxiety and every always has their fair share of that.<BR/><BR/>I do belieive that you are responding normally to your situation. Do what ever you think will help you enjoy yourself more and create less stress/anxiety. If you want to tell people tell, f not, Don't ... You do what you need to to make it through this journey - not what is best for others, or what others are expectingAwkwardMomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854477296635420810noreply@blogger.com
