Feeling down and anxious

Evening ladies...

I'm 10+4 today and have my NHS scan booked in for 2.30pm tomorrow.

I had a private scan at 8+5 which was good. Everything was well, heartbeat good and no concerns.

I didn't really get any symptoms until about week 5, where I got occasional boob tenderness and bullet like nipples!! And was always tired by 3pm every day. However, I didn't feel pregnant at all. I was quite bloated too but being a plus size lady didn't exactly have a washboard stomach to begin with.

Around the 7 week mark I started feeling nauseous most days and every couple of days had sickness which was either bile in the morning or, actually throwing my food and drinks back up. This lasted only until last weekend.

Since Saturday (10 weeks) I have had no symptoms, and actually felt pretty damn good in myself but I still don't feel pregnant.

It sounds extremely negative but my gut is telling me somethings changed and to expect disappointing news at the scan tomorrow. I've had no pains, cramps or bleeding but I know miscarriages can happen without all of those signs and a loss of symptoms can be because of the baby's heartbeat stopping etc.

It's my first pregnancy so I just don't know what to expect, and there is so much contradicting information out there it's hard to get reliable reassurance. I am an anxiety sufferer too.

I guess tomorrow I'll know what's going on one way or another, but I really don't feel pregnant and can't help but feel like something has shifted.

I think I just wanted to openly share my thoughts as my DH doesn't get it, and just thinks I'm stressing.
 
The placenta starts taking over some of the hormone load at 10-12 weeks. Once that happens your symptoms generally drop a bit. It is normal to start feeling normal around this time. If you saw a heartbeat at 8+5 you've got a good chance of everything being alright. Good luck with the scan x

Emily, easier said that done but try not to worry. Your placenta takes over and you start feeling better. If it helps I never really had any symptoms with my DD and she's now just turned two.

Also, this pregnancy all my symptoms stopped at around 10 weeks but my scan yesterday was absolutely fine.

All your worries are completly normal. Every mother has them. We all worry and fear the worst. Hopefully everything is Ok, do let us know. Thinking of you :)
