My sypmptoms have quit and I'm getting nervous

I am 9 1/2 weeks right now. I have had extreme nausea for 3-4 solid weeks. Have been very finicky about eating. I'm very tired and go to bed by 8pm. My belly would get bloated and I would have some lower abdominal cramping and could not lay on my belly. This lasted up until about a week ago and all of a sudden they stopped. I expected this to happen in the second trimester but I am 3 1/2 wees away from that. I am still a bit tired but not to the extent I was before and I have been getting headaches more frequently and I do have some breast tenderness. Currently, that is about all I am experiencing. I did have my first US last Thursday and all was well and we saw the heartbeat. Am I crazy now for getting worried?

Of course you aren't crazy for being worried...I know I worry about everything! That's what moms do! If you are really worried...contact your midwife, but I would say that having some symptoms ease up is a blessing..you still have some breast tenderness and the headaches that indicate your hormones are still elevated...so, unless you have bleeding, etc...don't worry so much!

Be thankful the symptoms subsided. Some days you have crazy symptoms, some days you have none. Enjoy the days you have none

Not crazy at all! And you sound just like me! My 1st tri I was sick as a dog,and in bed by 8 pm every night. All my symptoms except constipation and bloating were gone by 10 weeks. I all of a sudden didn't feel pregnant anymore, but soon realized I was just really lucky! Some women have all that the whole time. I did feel better when we heard the heartbeat at an 11 week apt, and at the ultrasound i had this past week seeing the baby doing gymnastics in there made me feel better too (since I really have no symptoms at this point other than the 2 I mentioned) Just enjoy the lack of crappy symptoms, and you can always call your doctor to ease your mind!

i felt fine for 2 weeks straight, called all my mom friends and they all said that was normal and then like a switch, i was worse than I was before, but now im fine. i seem to go in 2 week waves.

Thanks everyone! This really helps. I didn't mention before but I did miscarry once already and I guess that helps make my worries worse. But I am already past the point I was when I miscarried before and I did see that little heartbeat. Now I will be anxious for my next appointment in February!

I would love not to feel sick and crappy all day long... Please send it my way.

Definitely contact your provider if you are worried, but once you see the heartbeat your chance of miscarriage drops to 5%. I think you should focus on the great aspect of feeling better!

Don't worry. I'm 11w2d today and just returned from my OB appointment. My doctor said most of her patients start feeling better at 10-12 weeks. My morning sickness ramped up at the beginning of last week to the point that I wasn't keeping anything down. By the end of the week, I didn't have nausea anymore. My OB was able to find a strong heartbeat with the doppler today, so everything is fine. (I also had an ultrasound on Friday that showed everything is great.)
