Awkward time between scans?

[Blank_Page]

So we had a great 12 week scan, and I'm currently approaching 15 weeks now. We've just moved house, which was a lot of work because we couldn't move directly into our new place. I've had an incredibly rough 1st trimester, very sick and now still waiting to hear about my midwife app and 20 week scan dates in new county.

I've been a bit less sick and some days even not felt 110% like I am dying and its actually really worrying me!! I just keep thinking I don't know what's happening between scans and it's too early to feel baby moving or to get my real bump (1st pregnancy).

Hubby and I had some intimate time for the first time since I got pregnant (first time I felt human enough) and I've been worried ever since because he's quite a heavy guy and I'm worried he was squishing the baby. For a few days after I wasn't sick at all and I really thought it was all over but I've since been really sick again.

I know it might sound silly but as this is my first pregnancy it's really concerning when things change but you can't see what's going on. Anyone else felt this way?

I can sympathise a lot as I'm a worrier too and this is my first! I found that the wait between the 13 week and 20 week scans was tough too. I wouldn't worry about having sex, but maybe try a different position where he's not on top of you for your piece of mind.

F you're super anxious and can't wait those extra weeks, private scans are always having deals and even groupon have some offers for cheap scans if you need a sneak peek in the meantime. I had one at 29 weeks because I was getting anxious and for £39 we got a 2d gender confirmation scan with a free 4D peek and 20 digital

I'm sure everything's fine though so try to relax because believe me the third trimester is not as fun as the second!

Im also a worrier and trying to change my negative thoughts. At the end of the day ive just started telling myself to be posotive and if something did go wrong it would be out of my control. Obviously there is things that we as pregnant ladies should avoid obviously. But other than that just try relax and go with the flow. I felt pretty crap in the first trimester and going into the second trimester also. Im now 20 weeks & feel baby moving daily and i feel much better in myself. I have my 20 week scan in 2 days. It has been a long wait between my 12 weeks and now but its finally here, and again find myself worrying. Just try to relax for now, maybe speak to someone if your not feeling too well. Worrying for some people will never go. Even after babys born worry continues. I think its part of been a mother.

As the above poster said about private scans, definatly go for it if it will settle ur worries abit.

Thanks guys! I think its mostly first timer nerves, as I've never experienced any of this before and quite honestly I was not expecting the first trimester to be so severe.

Today I slipped and fell on wet grass, landed on one bum cheek and my hand. Not had any pain (except my bum cheek!) or bleeding but typical this happens on a bank holiday weekend where I can't get a midwife on the phone!

Oh dear not having much luck are you. Ifit settles ur nerves try contact your midwife tommorow. I once fell in the 3rd trimester when i was walking in the park. Tripped over a big pot hole and landed on all fours. Luckily not banging my huge bump. Everything was fine thank god. And they have also filled the pot hole in recent years. That could have been a huge claim on my behalf! Lol

Oh I can sympathise with this so much! It is so nerve-wracking when it's the first I think. I have also worried about sex and feeling breathless and no end of other things which I have googled excessively. I know there is some controversy about dopplers but I had to buy one for piece of mind and just finding that heartbeat was very reassuring.

Just remember that your body naturally protects the baby with a lot of fluid and I'm sure your baby is safe after your fall. Also I had horrid sickness right up until about 12 weeks then I felt absolutely fine! Feeling well doesn't mean baby is not ok.

Our 20 week scan is Friday and people keep saying things to me like 'hasn't July flown by? and I think NOOOOOOO!

Best of luck for getting lots of reassurance from your midwife and your scan date soon x
