1st Trimester

It's amazing how feeling better can just freak me out

I'm a little over 11 weeks pregnant today.  My last appoint was at 9 weeks - I saw and heard the heartbeat and saw the little baby dancing around.  My next appointment will be next week - at 12 weeks.

I had been super sick around weeks 6-9, then slowly feeling better.  Now, I hardly have any symptoms, just an occasional day where I'm nauseous here and there.  I've only gained a couple of pounds and my boobs still hurt, so I guess that's still there.  Oh, and I don't have to pee every 10 minutes like I did before (which makes sleeping a lot easier).  I know at this point I'm supposed to start feeling better, but it makes me more paranoid now then was I was sick all day. 

 Anyone else feeling this way?

But with this one, i was only sick for a couple weeks and now i have NO symptoms and I havent gained ANY weight at all.. So thats lame! I havent an appt next week and i cant wait to hear the heartbeat to calm my nerves! :)

  • I'm always paranoid! But at this point it's definitely normal to start feeling better!

  • My nausea has been soooo much better the past couple of days & I was freaked out until seeing the baby today. They adjusted my due date by a week so that makes sense why it's subsiding some. I think they only way I would feel comfortable all the time is if I honestly had that ultrasound wand stuck up my "wooha" all the time being able to watch the baby. I wish I could have one everyday!!

  • With my daughter, my symptoms just totally disappeared right around 11 weeks.  It was like night and day.  Then I had a good stretch of like 6 weeks where I didn't feel pregnant and my body didn't seem to be changing either.  Totally normal--try to enjoy it because before you know it, you will be feeling miserable again. :)

  • I'm not as far along as you are, but my symptoms have gotten much "better" since yesterday and I've been a mess.  All day long I've been grabbing my boobs, hoping they'll hurt again.  I feel like such a crazy, but I keep thinking, "Why can't I just keep throwing up?!"

  • The same thing happened to me yesterday.  After days of being totally nauseous all day with food aversions, sensitive smells, sore nipples, etc., I had almost nothing yesterday.  I was so concerned.  Fortunately, today I am back to being pretty nauseous and my sensitive smell and food aversions are back so I'm feeling a lot less worried.

    It is a mindfvck for sure, though.
