Worried About Pregnancy

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and at my last appt. on 11/26/07, I was told that the baby was measuring small and that they would reevaluate me at my next appt. and would possibly be put on bed rest if she had not improved. The very next day my mother died. This has taken a toll on me physically and mentally. I noticed recently that my maternity clothes that once fit are beginning to fit a little looser. I'm trying desperately to pull it together, but it's been difficult. My next doctors appt. isn't scheduled until Jan. 2nd.

Should I call my doctor and schedule an appt. ASAP or be patient and wait it out for another 3 weeks for my regular appt.?

What can I do next?

I hope by now you have made an appointment, if not do so. You need not worry to add to all that has happened. I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. You may want to consider taking it easy as much as possible on yourself, if possible get extra naps and eat. Try to take extra care and if someone offers to make something or take on some of your load let them and don't worry about it, it really makes folks feel better to help if they can.
I sure hope you have made a few new friends in your moving here or neighbors and have some type of support system, I know you can always count on the ladies on this website to offer encouragement and advise. My thoughts are with you and take care. Please let us know how you are doing.

I am very sorry for you loss!

If you haven't seen your doctor since the loss of your mother, I would definitely make an appointment. I'm sure that everything is fine but you need to get checked out for peace of mind. You are in my thoughts.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. It's probably been quite an adjustment with your recent move too. I think that you would feel so much better if you went to the doctor as soon as you can get an appointment. They want to know what's going on with you and the baby! Waiting 3 more weeks means worrying 3 more weeks. They are the experts and will be able to check out the baby and you and hopefully put your mind at ease. Good luck!
