After making checking my temperature a default activity over the last 8 months I have discovered that this is a habit I now have to break. I sent myself into a tailspin of panic last week because my temperature was 36.8, then, 36.7 then 36.6 I was panicked... I was certain I was going to lose the pregnancy.
I asked The Google. Google gave me a good piece of advice (I hope). Step away from the thermometer. There will be fluctuations in temperature at this point. That a temperature change is not the sign of a miscarriage unless it is a much bigger temperature drop. I haven't had any severe cramping, just little cramps. And unlike last time there has been no spotting or bleeding of any kind.
I am trying to remain calm, to not panic, to not give my poor baby any more stress hormones than I already have coursing through my body. I keep wanting more pregnancy symptoms. I am definitely (TMI ahead) constipated. And I have to carry tums in my purse already. But where is the nausea??!! Where is the morning sickness??!! I want to have every classic pregnancy symptom in the book so that I know my hcg is rising. My husband laughs at me, he thinks I should be thanking my lucky stars.
For once, Dr. Google has given excellent advice (much of the time, I think he's a bit of a quack!). Though I know how tough the habit is to break- I had to wean myself off the thermometer with each of my pregnancies.
