i'm i getting worried over nothing??********UPDATE******

[neeko_1]

right ladies i'm getting really worried that something is wrong.. i'm always like this until i see my baby on the screen then i know s/he is safe

but i haven't felt butterflies in about 2 day i'm 18 weeks now and surely they should be getting stronger??
i do feel something but i just don't know if it's me or baby!!

i brought a doppler that should come on friday from eBay... but i can't wait that long..

i'm i being silly for nothing?? but it's really getting me down

ahhhhhhhh

 

[Kat@girlracer]

Yes you're being silly! Buts its totally understandable

I didn't get regular movements until I was 24 weeks and hardly felt a thing up until then - and now she kicks me sooooo hard it hurts!

Ahh don't worry it's natural When i told my midwife i wasn't sure if the baby had moved all day at 17 weeks, she said they don't expect you to feel the baby move everyday until 20 weeks (thats IF you have felt them from 14+weeks) Plus it may be that it has moed but you've been busy

Aww hun i'd prob be the same. Im sure everything is fine, try not to worry. The girls have give some great advice.

Neeko, don't worry! I only started to feel anything at about 18 weeks. I wouldn't even have called them butterflies then. The feelings will get much stronger and in a few weeks you'll be getting kicked all the time

Just relax and try and enjoy your pregnancy

 

[neeko_1]

ladies thank you so much for your help...

and thank you for listening to me

pregnancy is a scary thing.... i get my doppler tomorrow so i can't wait to her that beautiful sound which is my babies heart beat..

but i'm even scared to even use that

there is no wining is there

Hi hun

Please try not to worry, when I first started feeling the baby move it was only a few times every 2 or 3 days. It would've probably been more but when Im walking around or keeping active I dont really notice it.

Im 18 weeks tomorrow and I feel him all the time now but it varies with each person, and like alot of the girls have said they didnt feel regular movements til much later.

Try drinking something cold or eating something sweet to see if that helps (I've just had some ice cream and now he wont stop wriggling and kicking me ). Once you get your doppler tomorrow it'll make you feel so much better, I know mine did!

Let us know how you get on with it

 

[jennywren]

I didnt start feeling anything at all till about 21/22 weeks so try not to worry

 

[trixipaws]

PM'd you neeko

 

[Vicky_Gazerimmer]

Seems Neeko that you and I have alot in common! we both worry about everything!

I worried about 12 week scan, then the 20 week scan as I was convined my baby would be ill in some way, now I am worried about birth and all that!

Don't worry about seeming silly or asking questions. Its normal we all do it!

I can definitely relate to that, Im terrified of going to my 20 week scan in a few weeks cos I dont want anything to be wrong with him

hi ladies well yes i got my doppler last night, and used it right away i got the jel placed it on my belly and started to find that beautiful heart beat


only to find that i could find it i got really worried but tried to stay postivie i still could not find it................ i got really really worried and started to think i've lost my baby why me not now, i've come so far

i told my mum and she said relax and lay down..... but i still couldn't

all i could hear was my pluse.... going the same as my heart rate as mine

i told my hubby the one who that got it for me and he said nothing is wrong

ladies i had a good cry and just thouhgt this is it.......... it's over my baby has gone after all that crying i felt better and had something to eat and i lied down and started to find the heart beat again

taking my time and really sreaching............................

I FOUND IT

it was really far down and i had to push to doppler really hard but it was their....... hubby listened and we smiled and just knew are baby was safe

so as you can see i'm soooooooooo happy

 

[Londoner Claire]

So glad to hear it. These things that are meant to reassure us can do nothing but cause worry sometimes eh.

 

[x-kirsty-x]

Yaaaayyyy!!!

I couldnt find it at first either but if I put the doppler low down its easy!

So glad you're feeling a bit more reassured now

 

[jennywren]

Glad you found the heartbeat hun.

This is why I won't get a doppler though - can cause more worry than not!
