Needing reassurance please...

kellieok

I kinda wrote about this yesterday in my vent but i think just need to hear it from you ladies to give me some reassurance...

The past week-week 1/2, I seriously have no pg symptoms. I am seriously having so much anxiety. I don't even feel pg anymore. My bbs don't hurt anymore, only when wearing a bra and while wearing a bra if i push on them. I don't have m/s anymore, althought sometimes i feel nauseous but i don't know it is really m/s or just in my head. I still get a little fatigued by the afternoon but i don't know if its from the pg or from me just being wiped out.

I wanted to get a doppler but i am so afraid i won't hear anything and on the other hand i think if i do it might help me prepare for what's to come at my next appt on Jan 4, especially since i am going to the dr appt alone and if something is wrong i am scared to find out the bad news by myself.

What do you guys think about my symptoms and about the doppler situation? My DH is ZERO help in advice giving and in reassuring me, he is totally pissing me off right now...  TIA!!!

I totally know where you are coming from, I went through the same thing plus had a little spotting at about 11 weeks. I was freaking out! And everything has been ok....so it isnt neccessarily a bad sign!!  You might call your Dr. and have them listen for a heart beat... mine will do it with out a scheduled appt any time I feel nervous...and I did it a couple times before I started being able to feel her move....

It would be worth the peace of mind and not having to worry over christmas! (plus if your OB is like mine they dont even charge for it)

Oh, also I was going to say, it might be good to get a doppler, but where you are before 12 weeks... you may want to have the dr. or nurse check.. a heart beat can sometimes be hard to find even with an US prior to 12 weeks  according to my OB, and you dont want to get more scared just because the doppler isnt high powered enough....

I'm not as far along as you, but I know that symptoms come and go as your hormones level out or your body gets more used to them. I don't know about dopplers, except that the ones for home use aren't usually as good as the ones your doctor might have, so you might freak out for no reason. can you ask your doctor what her advice is on the doppler? I'm sure everything will be fine!

I've been having similar panic-y feelings due to losing symptoms (I might have bruises from beating up my chest so much to try and make them hurt, though!)   I wonder about the symptoms I do have being in my head, also.  This time of year, isn't everyone super tired and don't many people have stomach upset from eating too many rich foods?  I've also been having the doppler debate with myself.  I think I would have bought one if I could have it RIGHT NOW instead of having to order it!

I read that hcg starts to level out between 8-11 weeks, so it's likely totally normal that our symptoms are decreasing.  I didn't have awful symptoms anyway, so I've been wondering if that makes it more likely that they'll taper off sooner.  (Kind of like how women who have horrible morning sickness from the beginning often keep it well into the second trimester.)  I hope that makes you feel better.  It usually makes me feel better, but sometimes the irrational side takes over.

Best of luck at your appointment!! I'm glad you posted this so I don't feel so alone.

Thanks everyone!  Mam885, I'm glad to hear you are experiencing the same thing, I am hoping and parying everything is alright, I'll definitely have you in my T&P!  When is your next appt?

I'm glad I'm not alone!  With MS tapering off it kind of freaks me out!  I'm seriously debating ordering a doppler today!
