Pregnancy, symptom flareup


[Ro...]

Recommended Posts

Hey folks, and you may remember me, I started my journey here when I called turkeyed in October 2021. Well I am back I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. My last wave was in March 2023 and it was pretty insignificant and past within two weeks now at 25 weeks pregnant I’m having a more severe wave still nothing near acute. But I came here for a couple reasons. first and foremost I was absolutely ready to do. My success story. Unfortunately, I knew I should wait because pregnancy, my upkick my symptoms. my waves started about five days ago I’m having dizziness, depersonalization, derealization, anxiety, difficulty sleeping thankfully I think I’m on the other side of it and I’m coming out of it the reason for this I assume is that at the tail end of pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone just continue to skyrocket, and then they will plummet once I deliver the baby we’ve been trying to conceive for about three years and in the last year I’ve had four losses this pregnancy was twins, and I lost one of them, but I am more than grateful for the one baby that remains. I have been scouring these forms for pregnancy advice. Unfortunately, all of us have different stories and I can’t find any that are truly comparable, so I come on here for advice to find out how uterus having folks tolerated, postpartum and waves during pregnancy like I said, they are awful, but it definitely has me on high alert about health anxiety. It has me feeling scared and I am just praying for this wave to be over again super thankful that I know since it came on so quick it is still for mental withdrawal. I am seeing my OB, and have been very transparent about my history, but I need some anecdotal input from you all the folks who have been through it, I can’t wait to see your responses. Don’t worry I’ll be here waiting lol.

Hello @[Ro...] -I don't have any answers for you but I want to respond. I'm very sorry for your pregnancy losses.  I'm sorry you've been through so much stress and I hope your current wave passes soon.  We often see an uptick in withdrawal symptoms associated with increased stress.    You seem to have a good handle on the role of your withdrawal symptoms and changing hormones.  I think your understanding and acceptance will really help you move forward with strength through the current wave.  I hope you get some responses from others who have experienced pregnancy during withdrawal.
