Starting to worry

dolfingrlie

I'm really starting to get concerned. Everything's going fine with the pregnancy & the baby, but I'm worried because I just don't "feel" it...in my heart I mean. I'm not as excited about this as I thought I would be. Is it because no one else seems to be? Is it because SO doesn't seem excited or talk to me about the pregnancy/baby? Why am I having these feelings? I didn't have them when I was pregnant with my other 2! I'm really starting to get worried/concerned/scared!!!

You're probably just thinking about it too much. Silly hormones. Once you're holding that baby you'll be totally in love and all this will be just a bad memory.

I still feel sick all the time, so that's making it hard to be excited.  Right now I just feel lazy and chubby and am having a hard time accomplishing anything.  I also think, in the back of my mind that I'm protecting myself since I've only had losses in the past and I'm not letting myself plan or think too far into the future.  It sucks.  I'm thinking maybe when I can feel them moving around in there I'll start to be more into it and be able to enjoy this time.

I am so glad you posted this.  I have been feeling many of the same things.  (I actually tried writing a post about this yesterday but couldn't get the words out the way I wanted them.)  I feel much more hesitant and cautious about this pg than with DD.   I still can't really believe that I am pg and feel like I will jinx it if I get too excited.  I don't like the limbo I am in now when I don't really have any symptoms and can't feel the baby move yet.  I am constantly worrying that I have lost the baby.  I am hoping that once I start feeling some kicks, it will seem more real and I can get a little more excited.

I am excited, but mostly hesitant. I've had two losses. In some ways I don't want to get too attached in case something goes wrong . Hopefully, I will feel the baby move soon. We've seen the hb twice and heard it three times...Right now, I feel fat and my back hurts.We want to tell our family first, but won't see them until Labor Day. So I'm trying to hide it at work

I'm tired and we aren't getting things done around the house like I want.

Sometimes I feel the same way.  I simply think it's the lack of any real symptoms.  I'm sure we've all gotten used to the boobs hurting, headaches, etc.  So those things seem normal and routine and less like symptoms.  It is always reassuring to hear the heartbeat.  If you're feeling really down, call your OB to see if you can stop in.  She/he will understand and accommodate your request.    Take care of yourself.

i was expecting a roller coaster of hormones, i wasn't expecting to feel so down most of the time. with everyone's comments though it seems that it's normal to feel worried.

bring up to SO that you'd like to talk more about the baby; maybe they just don't know what to say.
