I feel normal today and it is freaking me out

quezzo · February 2011

So this morning I woke up and I felt really different. I didn't have any bloat. It was just gone. My stomach didn't feel as hard as it normally does either. I bent down to pet my dog and then stood up and had instant pain. I yelled for my husband but a few seconds later it was gone. I got dressed and my body looked, well, skinny. My boobs still hurt but I am on Endometrin so I know that could be causing the tenderness. They are not as full feeling though. I'm so worried the baby has died. I just feel like I am just waiting for this to happen and I don't have another ultrasound until March 9. I'm trying to be positive, but apparently today this is not working. Any words of wisdom to help me relax about feeling like a normal person?

I'm glad you posted this comment because I'm going throgh the same thing. Yesterday, I told my husband I was worried because I no longer feel tired, sick, soar or bloated. I now feel like I did before I was pregnant. My breasts are a little soar but not nearly as soar as a few days ago. I noticed my body no longer looks bloated but skinny again. It seems odd but I read that sometimes, during the first trimester, you'll have days were you'll feel great. But then I read other articles that states this is a concern. I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 4th, and I'm hoping and praying everything is alright.

I'm sure we are fine, but my thoughts will be with you and your little one

(((Hugs))) Symptoms do come and go. The sharp pain you felt could be RLP as well.

Thank you. I know last time my symptoms disappeared it didn't have a good outcome, but my boobs had stopped hurting then too. I actually think I was still bloated when I found out about my first loss. I know we can have good days and bad days, but for some reason, bad days make me feel more pregnant.

I hope everything is ok with you and the LO. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get a good ultrasound.

This is what I was hoping for. I know people usually get them when they move so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I could give you all the regular lines about how symptoms come and go and it's normal and on and on but even though we all know that it really isn't a ton of comfort. So, my suggestions are as follows:

Ask your doc for an earlier ultrasound. My feeling is that we deserve extra special treatment. Second, get a doppler. There is nothing that keeps me more sane than being able to listen to the baby's heartbeat everyday. You're getting to the point where you'd be able to find it with a little bit of patience.

I was waiting till this next appointment to get a doppler, but maybe I will just buy one today.

Oh, and I've since convinced myself that I really can't do anything if something is going wrong anyways. I'm not sure why this is giving me some sense of calmness, but it is.

I have the sharp pains all the time and it is most likely RLP. I also have had almost no symptoms this entire pregnancy and everything has been fine. I had some serious bloat that went away at around 14 weeks and I fit back into my normal pants without the beband and that freaked me out, but then right at around 17 weeks I popped and the belly has been growing since. Hang in there! I am sure everything is fine! Symptoms come and go and some days I still forget I am pregnant!

Thanks! I actually remember you saying this from another post somewhere and I try to remind my self of it. Right no I will just keep my fingers crossed today is a good day.

That's exactly what my doctor told me "take it one day at a time." Everyday I'm just thankful to still be pregnant. I think after experiencing loss we get a bit paranoid about any change that occurs during our pregnancy, I know I do. I just try to remind myself that this is a time I should enjoy, and that certain things are out of my control. We can only take good care of ourselves and hope the best for our little ones.
