tick tock

time is moving soooo slowly....i'll be sooo relieved once my first trimester is over, argh. i keep reading all these stories of miscarriages happening in week 11, 12 etc. i'm totally freaking myself out. there's not really much you can do to prevent it, but it's just the fear that it *might* happen. there's still a little more than 5 weeks left which seems like an eternity. my worry is having one of those miscarriages where you don't have any outward signs (like heavy bleeding or cramping) but your baby no longer has a heartbeat and just stops growing for whatever reason. i am anxious for my next appt which will check for the baby's heartbeat, but it has yet to be scheduled. i have to first attend a prenatal class on feb 8th where you fill out a bunch of forms regarding prenatal tests, patient history yada yada. so supposedly i schedule my next appt at the class and most likely it'll be around the end of first trimester/beginning of second. it's kind of driving me nuts not knowing what's going on, you know? i think other women are usually so sick during their first trimester, they are too miserable to even worry about miscarriages!! oy.
