Pregnant and going crazy!!

[DMP720]

Hey everyone!

Its been a long long while since I last posted Its been about 9 months and life is moving fast.

My hubby and I got married in November. It was the most beautiful stress free wedding ever! We didnt have much of an adjustment considering we lived together 3 years prior to getting married.

Im starting my first "BIG GIRL" job in two weeks! AND I COULDNT BE HAPPIER. For all that dont remember ive been stuck working for my terrible family at there stupid ice cream store for 4 years now. And also I do hair on the side. But now I have a real corporate job for FORD! YAYY!

And...IM PREGNANT!! GOD blessed my hubby and I and we are ue FEB 4th!!! We couldnt be happier considering I wasnt even suppose to be able to have children. GOD IS WONDERFUL, and truly answered our prayers..

So all has been well and exciting..and a tad stressful of course.

I am in need of a little encouragement. I am having a setback and need some help. I was rushed to the ER today for stabbbing pain in my right side. WHen I got checked in they took my blood pressure and heart rate. My heart rate was like 135-140 and the nurse was like OMG ur heart rate is so high!! OMG thats terrible, you need to take deep breathes etc etc. SO OF COURSE..I freaked out even more and it went up to 160 until i ripped the finger thing off and said LISTEN...IM HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK RIGHT NOW THATS WHY ITS THIS HIGH< PLUS I JUST WALKED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT IN 90 DEGREE HEAT PREGNANT!!!

lol. She def looked at me like I was crazy then.
But now I am hyper obsessing about my heart rate again and have probably had like 6 panic attacks today

Just some reassuance would be great!
Love and miss you all

Congratulations! It sounds like you have some very exciting things going on in your life! That's too bad that you experienced what you did at the hospital. Unfortunately or fortunately, not everyone suffers from anxiety and those who don't can at times have a hard time understanding (even a nurse) It's obvious that you were experiencing some anxiety when they took your heart rate and blood pressure and that is why it spiked the way it did. I know you're fine and like I said, it's just anxiety, which won't hurt your baby. It's just a very unpleasant thing to go through, yourself. The more you float with it, the quicker it'll go away and less it'll happen. Just tell yourself that you welcome a raise in your heart rate and that it's no big deal (even if you don't believe it) It will go away

Hi Dena-

Sounds like you got a real winner for a nurse in the ER.

How are you feeling now?

Is your pain gone? Did they figure that out? Your heart is a muscle and it's OK for it to work. Did your heart rate calm down when you relaxed? It is normal that you would freak out about rushing to the ER and worry about your pain and the baby. Makes sense to me why you were anxious. You did a good job of communicating what you were feeling.

Just let the panic attacks come and go. When they try to come, say "I know you. You can't hurt me. Go away." and get on with your stuff. If you ignore them, they do pass more quickly and then fade.

Congrats on all your positive events and changes.
