Ready to start feeling movement so I know everything is good

Ethansmommy18 · December 2012

I am ready to start feeling baby movement so my anxiety will go down. This is one part of pregnancy that makes me a wreck is waiting for movement. With my first i felt movement at 19 weeks ( I think). My doctor said even with a second baby you usually do not feel movement until 18 weeks. Ughhh so with my appointment being the 19th I am counting down the days since I am now a nervous wreck ( I have no reason to be all my appointments have been good so far) Am I the only one having a issue?

I'm having the same anxiety as you. My next appt is on Friday and its been the longest 4 week wait! I just want to know they're ok. Once I know that and I'll be 13 weeks, I think I'll calm down a bit.

I thought about buying a doopler, but if I can't find the heartbeats on my own that will just be worse.

I have also thought about buying a Doppler but once again if I could'nt find the heart beat I would have a serious panic attack. I am over 13 weeks now I went in Monday due to spotting and my doctor checked the heartbeat which was 180 I was 12 weeks 5 days.

I would say 99.8% of us feel this way.

IDK, but I bet someone would disagree just to be a butt, so I had to account for that small percent! lol!

I suppose you're right. I'm sure there is someone out there so "in tune" with their pregnancy that they would just "know" without needing the reassurance ;-)

I can't wait to start feeling movement so I know all is well. I still haven't found the HB on the doppler but I did see the little bear on Friday. I won't have another appointment until December 31st so I will be going nuts lol. Having a previous loss I just can't help but wonder when something bad will happen.

I definitely feel the same way, but I caved and bought a Doppler. I'm hoping it will help me get through the waiting with my sanity.

I agree! I am ready to feel movement and actually look pregnant. I have a doppler, which has been great.

I have a doppler too, but they sent the 2mhz wand instead of the 3mhz one, so it's still too early for me to use... grrrr.

I'm ready to feel movement (felt it at 17 weeks with ds), but definitely not anxious to look pregnant yet. With ds I was still tiny at 20 weeks, but then I put on 60 pounds shortly after that! I'm still up by 35, so technically I'm larger now than I was at 20 weeks

Lesson learned: don't give in to EVERY craving... just don't do it!

I know right?!

I'm dying for an ounce of flutter or a kick. something to respond.

all1005 · December 2012

Absolutely, I need the confirmation that I'm pregnant because I feel NO different from any other day...

prttyinpink809 · December 2012

I think we all feel this way :. I am considering a Doppler too. My 2nd u/s is on wed and I'm a little nervous but excited :

Dragonfly1226 · December 2012

I'm in the same boat.

Don't want to say I'm the 0.2%, but I just accept that everything will happen in its due course, including being able to feel movement. No sense getting anxious over it.

This. And even when you start feeling movement it's weeks before the consistency can be relied upon. And then the worry is, "am I feeling ENOUGH movement", etc. etc. The worry never ends. At some point you just have to talk yourself off a ledge try to enjoy your pregnancy.
