Why do I feel this way?

mchell9 · February 2010

I'm turning to you guys b/c I'm not sure anyone else would understand since I can't really even explain. I just don't feel right- I don't know what it is but there's nothing "wrong" concretely. I feel like I should have been feeling the baby more by now and the brief flutters have been far and few between. I feel out of my element and I just want my doppler. Why can't I shake this? Btw: I'm still on my babymoon in PR and I want to shake this dark cloud away

so we can enjoy our last 2 days.

Aw, don't worry! I'm sure everything is fine. I'm just as far along as you and I dont have consistant flutters either. I don't even have them everyday. They are very random at this point, so try not to let that worry you. Maybe you are feelingthis way because you don't have your doppler right there with you and you cant check it till you get home.

Try and enjoy the next 2 days and you will be home before you know it and you can hear that beautiful heartbeat!

I don;t feel squat either, don;t read too much into it. Most my friends didn't feel things until 20 weeks. You're in Puerto Rico, why are you worrying yourself ill over 2nd tri blahs.<---------- tough love.

I know exactly what you mean... I get those dark cloud days from time to time too, and they are hard to shake.

Hang in there an enjoy your time in PR!

Thanks for putting it in perspective- I needed that. I'm going to block out the negative and try to relax. And Mrs...tough love is the best kind! Very neccessary at times!

I agree... there is nothing wrong, you just have a case of the BLAHS.... welcome to my world today except I am stuck in MI where we are burried in 14" of snow.

Enjoy the warm weather and eat some good food for me!!

I have days like this were the anxiety just gets the best of me. I did start feeling movement early BUT its only been about a week that its becoming consistent. I know sometimes its hard not to let the fear get the best of you but chances are very much in your favor that everything is perfect. Now enjoy your babymoon!

Enjoy your vacation!

I am not feeling movements every day either

I am sure the baby is fine in there, maybe he/she is just soaking up the PR lifestyle & relaxing :O)

Really.. go have fun on your last two days :O)

i was really depressed that i couldn't feel movement either. then suddenly at just past 19 weeks, i started to really feel it. and then when i felt it, i realized i had actually been feeling it for awhile, but had honestly thought it was gas.

pregnancy is scary. there is always something to worry about. for me, i found that i would find something to worry about, obsess for a few days and then... i'd get over it. it just took time. and i still go through those cycles, but after the 4th or 5th time of getting worked up over NOTHING, its starting to get better. i hope you start to feel better soon, and hopefully before you leave PR!
