so last year at 11 weeks we lost it, and this time around week 9 is hitting different. the nausea started around 5 weeks, pretty standard, but it’s not just morning sickness anymore - i’m waking up at 2am dry heaving, can’t eat solid food before like noon, and my brain is absolute mush. i’ve been tracking symptoms between appointments just so i don’t completely lose it.
but here’s the part nobody talks abt: the anxiety is actually worse than the nausea. every little twinge i’m like “is this it again?” and i’ve been calling my OB between appointments just to hear the heartbeat on doppler again. has anyone else gotten more anxious the second time around after a loss? the nausea i can manage with small meals and ginger. the spiral every time i go to the bathroom is the real problem. week 9 and i’m already tired of being scared
