WHEN YOUR EARLY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS SUDDENLY DISSAPPEARS

image by: http://www.ehealthhut.com

For a couple of my miscarriages, my early pregnancy symptoms just suddenly disappeared and I knew something was wrong.  As a result of this, when I was pregnant with my son and had days when my pregnancy symptoms would be mild or not even present at all, I immediately began to worry.  I remember when I went for my first visit with my OB/GYN, I hardly had any symptoms and I was very terrified that I might have miscarried.

I always wondered why this is so, as this very troubling for those of us who struggle to become pregnant, and then have to worry that we might be miscarrying when our pregnancy symptoms, one day, just disappear.

Upon research I have found out that pregnancy symptoms can in fact be very intense one day and the next you feel like your normal self again. Sadly, there has been no mention in the research material why this is so, but many women who have ever been pregnant can attest to this. Please note though, that you could be miscarrying if your pregnancy symptoms disappear, and especially if there is evidence of spotting. It is therefore advised that you see your doctor immediately if this is happening to you.

Early pregnancy symptoms can be very challenging to cope with, but it is very comforting to have them stick around because they are a sign that your pregnancy is progressing as it should. My doctor told me once that women who experience symptoms like nausea, are very unlikely to miscarry early in their pregnancies.

SUCCESS COMES AT THE POINT OF LETTING GO

I struggled so long to get pregnant and many times along the way, I asked myself why can’t I get pregnant, what is wrong with me, is God punishing me for un-confessed sins. I was miserable.

After more than a decade, my breakthrough came and it was at the point when I had grown completely hopeless. I had gone through terrible conflicts with my family fuelled by my infertility frustrations, had  alienated many of my friends and had now made the decision to accept whatever God had in store for me. I was finally at the point of letting go.

This is the point, according to a fellow blogger, when success usually happens, because we have lowered our resistance , thus making room for success.

What does this really mean? An excerpt from her post:-

“And then, just when I had made peace with my decision to move on to childfree, the "impossible" happened - I was pregnant. Why is life like that? Why did I have to get to the point of hopelessness before I succeeded? Well, my theory boils down to this: When you lower your resistance, you make room for success. So what does that mean? When you want something so bad, and it's not happening, you focus more on what you don't have instead of what you do have or what you want. You try to force things into place. When you finally give up, the flood gates open. Your dream starts chasing you instead of the other way around.”
