I need someone to tell me I'm being silly!!!

[NatC]

Ok, so I've got my scan on Tuesday and at the weekend I was feeling great, really looking forward to it, planning how to tell everyone, feeling SO positive about it all and also kind of 'safe' I thought I'd come this far so surely all will be ok now.

Then I wake up on Tuesday and just feel...different, its the only way I can decribe it! My stomach didn't feel as big or firm my boobs didn't seem so big and then as the day went on I realised I wasn't peeing so much! I really don't feel anything! I thought I would get over it, but I just can't seem to shake the feeling something is wrong!

DH tells me I'm crazy that my belly and boobs look and feel the same, but I don't know if he's just saying that as he doesn't seem to understand the worst could happen without any pains or blood, what do you ladies think!

As much as I want you to tell me I'm insane, be honest I want to prepare myself for Tuesday if it I bad news Xx

I didnt start to feel properly pregnant until she started kicking and i could feel her! We spent LOADS of money on pregnancy tests ... i even did one after the first scan just to be sure as i thought it was too good to be true! If you are worrying about it, that might make your body feel a bit different... but you have your scan soon so that will put your mind at rest

Hi

Everything you said is perfectly normal, and the worries natural.

I was a mess before my first scan, my symtpoms would come and go constantly and I was soooo anxious before my first (and 2nd lol) scan I drove my OH nuts. Was always in tears, an emotional hormonal wreck some might say lol

I couldn't even look at the screen when they started the scan til OH squeezed my hand, I looked up and saw my LO wriggling around like a maniac and I just burst into tears, and the connection I then felt with my baby was amazing.

Nothing will help you to relax so I won't say to try lol, but I'm sure it will be fine

Another thing with me was when we went for the first scan and the midwife said 'theres the little baby' i burst into tears cos i thought she said theres no baby there!! I bet she thought i was a right idiot!

Hi Nat, I can understand how you feel. Im feeling rubbish most of the time but when I feel OK im scared that something has gone wrong! Im pretty sure every expentant mother must feel like you are now and the worry probably wont stop until your baby is born! and then a whole new set of worries will start....! lol. Try to keep calm and relax (easier said than done I know)

Thanks Ladies, really hope everything is ok and I am just worring for nothing! But cant help thinking that I'm right because I would no if the baby was ok or not! But I could drive myself mad and I've only a few days to wait and find out!

Maria, was welling up reading your post about your oh squeezing your hand!!

Thank you all again Xx

Maria, was welling up reading your post about your oh squeezing your hand!!

Thinking about that first scan still makes me well up, it was so emotional, I'd been so anxious and the relief was phenomenal!!

Nat my book says symptoms tend to disappear at week 11/12! tbh i've got none really!! my boobs aren't sore anymore, im not weeing that much and also some days (happened this week) i woke up and by belly was so flat (my flat not size 8 flat!)

if you look it up i reckon you will find some info on symptoms disapearing at this time. if you need more reassurance it might be worth posting in tri 2?

Its perfectly normal at 12 weeks for symptoms to just go!! I know exactly where you are coming from. Everyone worries I can guarantee it. It does not stop either - after your 12 week scan you then worry about other tests and 16 week appointment. Then you stress about your 20 week detailed scan and then after that its all about movement and the lack of it! I am now 28 weeks and on Sunday I did not feel even a tiny bit pregnant - absolutely no feeling at all! Until I looked down and saw a bump I would never have thought its was there!! I even had to have a warm bath and very cold glass of water to make sure I got baby to move so I knew I was pregnant!! Try to relax and enjoy - pregnancy just goes by sooo fast and before you know it you will have your baby in your arms and you will look back at your pregnancy and just wish that you enjoyed it more and relaxed. Hey easy for me to say I know but give it a go - Best of luck with your scan xx
