early 2nd tri?? come in!

in Pregnant after a Loss
Is anyone else feeling kinda anxious in the early part of the second tri? ?It is feeling weird to me. ?I feel pretty normal, am not showing (just fat), can't feel anything (not that I'd expect to) and it is a month between doc visits. ?I'm so grateful to be here, but wish there was something to reassure me a little more than the doppler. ?Anyone else feeling this way?

    I am only a few weeks behind you, but I feel the exact same way.  I wish there was something that let me know everything is going fine in there.  I have a doppler and use it frequently, but I wish there was more.

    I'm a few days behind you.  I am not really that nervous, but my history is not quite as sad as yours is, so I understand that you would be more nervous.  I'm mainly just looking fat (but I FEEL like I'm showing and that makes me kind of happy).  I have my next appt in a week, and I don't have a doppler at home so I'm really looking forward to it just to hear that hb.  I am, however, anxiously awaiting flutters, bubbles, little taps, or any baby movement at all. 

    Remember, the doppler is fantastic reassurance.  When you hear that hb, you know everything's alright!

    If you are really feeling that anxious maybe you should see if your OB can see you. With this pregnancy I have been going every two weeks all along. Call them & let them know about your anxiety. The stress isn't good for you or the baby. Your doctor should be understanding, especially after what you've been through.

    I have an appointment next week at 13 weeks and I am on pins and needles - last time I had a D&C at 13 weeks so it is a big milestone.  After 13 weeks I think I will feel a heck of a lot better!

    Ditto LAT37.  Maybe you could request more frequent visits? I went weekly for the for 10-11 weeks and had ultrasounds as well.  This was my sanity saver during first tri.  Now I go every 2-3 weeks and use my doppler at home.

    Hang in there :)

    I'm not in the second tri yet, but I have started feeling a bit better lately - I think the doppler has helped tremendously. I'm not sure what better reassurance you can have than that thing!

    Imagine what our mothers and grandmothers went through - they didn't have dopplers, and even doing ultrasounds wasn't the norm. My mom never had an u/s with me!

    It's hard, but we need to trust that things are going as they should in there!

    I am right there with you!  I feel the exact same way, though I am still throwing up, so I guess that reassures me some, lol!
