What wont you let yourself do?

So I've come to the conclusion I'm paranoid....LOL....but that probably wont change till the babies are here. I get nervous if I have to stand for a long period of time even though sitting all day is killing my back. Every slight cramp or pain makes me jump. Everytime I pee I nervous to look back for fear there would be blood. I hate all the extra discharge for fear of my water breaking early. I check my watch everyday to make sure I'm not swollen. I wont bent over and pick up all my sons toys, I sit there while he brings them to me. Every cramp means laydown for a half hour. I keep a pillow between myself and my son when we're napping so i wont get kicked by accident. Iyiyiyi the list goes on...LOL

What are you paranoid about?

 

i was paranoid about seeing blood when i went to the bathroom. every. single. time. i went to the bathroom, i checked for blood. but i had a miscarriage before the twins, so that's why i was so paranoid about it. and i didn't stand for too long, either. and if i felt even the slightest bit of cramping or aches, i chugged down a ton of water.

 

I was really paranoid about what I ate. I watched my food intake like a hawk! I was so afraid of not getting enough protein (which I hate) so I forced myself to eat stuff I didn't like. I also took too many "cold" showers b/c I didn't want the water to be too hot for my belly.

I'm wondering the same thing!!! lol!

 

I didn't know I was having twins until 13 weeks so I didn't do too much different. Now my sil told me no vacuuming or lifting heavy things.. but I do home daycare and can't escape picking kids up!

 

oh no no no... that was pre baby and pre married lmao!!! i found it the other day in my collection of pictures and am using it as inspiration :blush:

 

Honestly, i'm not paranoid because i know if i let myself be, i will be a complete wreck. i know the do's and dont's for the pregnancy, and while i follow them ( lots of water, get rest, dont breathe in chemicals... ) i have a complete refusal to live in a bubble. i had 2 miscarraiges ( very early term ) before the twins, and although i was crushed by it at the time, i knew it wasnt my fault. i didnt know until 15 weeks that i was having twins, but even early on i took a wait and see attitude. If the pregnancy continued, i would be thrilled. If it didnt, well, honestly.....nature takes care of itself. i'm sure that kind of attitude must seem callus to alot of people, but it works for me. My concern is more abot getting them safely through the birth, but i will also cross that bridge when i get to it.

The blood thingy...
The stairs...
The walking too much...
The not walking enough..
The not getting enough fluids
The not feeling one of the babies move...at all...
The if I leave work now, will I have a job to go back to.
There is so much more, but I'm going to go take a nap...

 

Oh the blood thing totally! But I did have a lot of bleeding so far...
I don't vacuum.
I worry about stuff I eat. And about the stuff I don't.
I don't allow myself coffee anymore.
I don't walk much. (my cerclage scares me)
I try not to stand for too long.
I won't clean the bathtub anymore.


I am completely paranoid but I've had a late term loss and an emergency cerclage at 24 weeks (which worked, thank goodness!) - and that was before the twins. So I think most people understand.

:wub:
