Stressing/worrying about baby

PetNurse10

I'm just hoping that I'm not the only one is this boat and really need someone (other than my husband) to tell me I'm crazy....

Does anyone else worry that the baby died and but no miscarriage signs.  I know it sounds crazy, but I'm not showing and every symptoms I was having I'm not having anymore.  I'm not sick anymore (which I was...bad), my breasts were getting bigger, but I don't think they are any more, I'm able to eat, I'm not as tired.  The only thing I have is I can't sleep through the night. I haven't had cramping or spotting, but I'm worried the baby is just dead inside me.  

We have an appt Monday to hear the HB, but not an ultrasound til 16 weeks.  I am just SO worried we're gonna go to the appt Mon and there won't be a HB.  IS anyone else feeling like this at all??

When that happened to my SIL she KNEW something was wrong. I think it's pretty normal for symptoms to go away as we get to this stage. I am don't feel any symptoms right now either (same as you with more energy, able to eat, not having sore breasts anymore). So I think what you're feeling is normal.

I was like that up until my doctor appointment last week, which was my first one.  The doctor definitely picked up on my anxiety about things going wrong, and he reassured me that he and his team were to do the worrying- not me.  I felt a gazillion times better after I left.  I decided to really embrace what he said, because there is nothing I can do, and I know he's looking out for me.

You are getting really close to second trimester, so symptoms should decline.  If you are really worried, call your doctor - that is what they are there for!

I can totally understand where you are coming from . . . But I got to go to the doctor on Tueday and she found the little heartbeat with the dopplar and I got to know that things were ok

You'll feel a lot better once you have your appointment I think most missed miscarriages have signs that appear normally in the 7-9 week that women look back on and notice later . . .

My mw told me that between 10.5 - 13 weeks most of the yucky first trimester symptoms go away. So I wouldn't be worried about that . . .

I was afraid of the same thing.  Today I went to the doctor, and heard the most wonderful heartbeat in the world!  My doctor said the symptoms going away is very normal.

You are not alone. I too felt like this which is why we bought sonoline b. After hearing the hb I felt so much better about the health of LO.

I feel the same fears you do! I had 2 missed miscarriages in the past so I am super stressed. I also go to the doctors on Monday and I cannot wait!! I feel after that appt I can start to enjoy my pregnancy becuase I will know that feeling normal like I do is okay. I am sure we are both fine but I understand your concern! Hang in there and I am sure we will both hear that wonderful heartbeat on Monday! Hurry up Monday!!!

Try not to worry, I know it's really hard, but the odds are on your side. It is normal not to feel miserable anymore at 11 weeks, and I'm sure some of your symptoms will come back once in a while (Sorry! but its a bit reassuring to feel sick, I know). I started feeling better before 12 weeks, and I am happy about it.

After you hear the heartbeat on Monday DECIDE that you won't be worried anymore. After hearing the heartbeat at around 12 weeks there is a 1% chance of m/c, according to my doctor. So, if you haven't had any cramping or spotting think of the chances you have of your LO being as happy and comfortable as can be!

You're only 12 weeks, you shouldn't be showing yet.  The ones who claim they are are either 2nd time moms (who show earlier,) or people with bloat claiming it's baby.

I worry constantly too.  I will tell you that I've had two missed m/c.  I knew to the day when it happened (7wks and then 9wks) because my symptoms stopped very, very suddenly.  I am 13 weeks now, and started worrying when my nausea stopped around 10 weeks, but I've had extra u/s because of my past and things are fine.  My RE said that you should start feeling better once the placenta starts taking over, which is the point you're at right now.  I really think you'll be OK.  Try not to worry!

I worry about this all.the.time.! I was a hardcore worry wart before I got pregnant, and getting pregnant has just turned me insane. 

I am so excited to go to my ultrasound on Tuesday, but then again I'm really scared that they are not going to find anything. I still have all my symptoms, but I freak out anyway. I'm sure everything is fine!

 You're not alone, and good luck to you! I try to just keep myself busy so I don't spend all my time fretting

Thank you so so much everyone!  You guys have REALLY put my mind at ease!  I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one. 

There is just something to be said about being able to "talk" to women going though what you're going through right now.  It makes all the difference in the world!

You're definitely not alone! I feel the same way - My fiance wonders why I am constantly worrying - he doesn't get it! But I had my NT Scan/U/S on Wednesday and the tech said NOTHING so of course I took that as a terrible sign things are not good - I saw the h/b but I swear I am afraid something is wrong! I have my OB appt next Wednesday so I am praying I'll get some reassurance then. Just wanted to chime in since I think there is always gonna be something to worry about until we're holding that baby in our arms.

Hang in there
