What was the scariest moment of your pregnancy?

Alright now! That's just spooky.
I didn't want to say anything, but that
was my first big scare!

I mean really. I'm totally serious.

I did home pregnancy tests.
And then they scheduled me like 8 weeks
from the time I found out, cause there was
some big back log of new pregnant patients.

So I had to wait two months for official
doctor's confirmation.

And during that time, I started spotting and
I was sure that I must have been wrong.

You know how early pregnancy goes.

But the good part about waiting a little longer
was that they gave me an ultra sound almost right
away.

I still have the pics.

She was the most perfect miniature sized baby I'd
ever seen.

I think it was about three months or so into the
pregnancy.

I called her my little vanilla bean!
But I could totally see her legs and arms and
tiny hands.

I fell in love instantly!

Thanks for sharing your baby story.
Drop by anytime.

You two aren't alone! That was my first fear as well!

I'm glad I'm not alone with that one:)

Yup..been there, done that, as well LOL
I was so scared i wasn't really pregnant, and that nothing but an empty uterus would show up on the ultrasound..when i actually saw our baby, and, actually saw him moving, tears just rolled out of my eyes...I was really pregnant!!

Yes, me too! I think that it's so difficult to actually believe that there's this living being inside you (especially the first time around I guess), until you actually see the evidence with your own eyes. That's what makes the first scan so amazing in my opinion.

Wow! I was holding my breath through your
entire baby story. Very riveting.

I'm just floored at the things you went through
to bring your child into the world.

I had to get over my fear of bleeding and needles
and pain just to give birth.

But that was no problem, cause I wasn't doing it
for me. I was doing that for her! And she was totally
worth it!

Moms are the most amazing people, don't you think?!!!

Wow, that would be so scary, and frustrating to have to be in bed the whole time, although obviously worth it... I'm so glad you and your son got through it ok in the end!

Beautyqueen, I also have a phobia of needles, and pregnancy didn't actually cure that for me, lol! It was also one reason (amongst others) why I didn't want an epidural or any other drugs for the pain.

Wow! Going into labor that early must have been very scary.

I can imagine how scared
you must have been for your baby.

It was the weirdest thing.
I mean there was no movement inside me.
And that was totally odd for her.

She was always bobbing around and making herself
known. But on that one occasion she was just plain
tired out!

Once when I went to roll over onto my side, she
refused to roll with me, cause that would have changed
her position.

Instead she stayed planted in her spot inside me
and when I rolled over, I saw an impression of a knee
and this huge bulge that made my tummy look all mishapen!

It was too weird!

She was stubborn even then.

I gave my daughter a prod quite a few times when she wasn't doing her normal punching and kicking, just to make sure she was ok. It seems a bit cruel now, as she probably got really tired from all that moving around!

Now she's two I'd appreciate it if she'd sleep a bit more, and I wouldn't dream of prodding her awake any more, lol!

She was also stubburn about not moving when I wanted her to, and got into come really uncomfortable positions (for me, anyway!). The knee experience sounds pretty amazing, I loved it when things like that happened as I got to see what bits of her looked like! At one point she stretched out her arm and this little hand shape jutted out inside my stomach. It was so clear, and she kept it there long enough for me to stroke her knuckles. It was the sweetest experience, and it makes me a bit teary just thinking about it !

It's so wonderful to hear that everything
turned out well for you and your daughter.

Do you think it was maybe food poisoning
and not just morning sickness?

Once I got food poisoning and did the non-stop
vomit thing for two days.

I was so very weak.

hello again.no! it was not a food poisoning coz if smell something thats the time i cannot stop vomitting but my Dr. said its normal and there are women like that my friend is worst than my experienced coz from beginnig till 9 moths she always vomitting.

I'm happy to hear it was not food poisoning.
That worried me.

I have also heard that vomiting and morning
sickness can last for the length of the pregnancy.

I think it's cause of shifts in hormones.

I can't remember now what sets it off.

It's different for every woman.

Thanks for your comments.

hello beautyqueen thank you and thats why i am afraid to get pregnant i am scared of it and one little pretty brainy Princess is enough for me thanks again.

Oh, poor baby!
I can imagine that he was just tired.
Same for my little one.

She scared me so much that day
when she was not moving around for awhile.
She is still very active and tires out after
much exercise.

Yep! That's me in a nutshell.
I'm a worry wart too.
