Nothing to be worried about but...

in October 2015 Moms
I am twelve weeks today and I have nothing to be nervous about. I went in at 9.5 weeks and saw ultrasound and heard strong heartbeat. No cramping, bleeding, etc. Feeling fine. Bump seems to be growing. But seeing all the posts on here about loses makes me nervous. I don't go back in to doctors for over two weeks. Haven't gotten to hear heartbeat again since.

I'm healthy, 27, no medical problems, healthy weight.

Am I just being crazy? Thoughts?

    Not crazy at all!! I'm 12w 4 days and saw the baby and heard the heart beat and everything 3 days ago and everything was fine. I'm a FTM and worried about everything, u are not alone!! I also read a lot about loss and miscarriage, I think I stress myself out a lot.... 2 weeks will go quickly, I know it's easier said than done, but just remember everything is going well!'

    I think it comes with the territory of being pregnant. Keep your mind busy, it will help. And take the miscarriages with a grain of salt. After hearing the heartbeat at 9 weeks I believe the chance of miscarriage is less then 5 percent. Flip that percentage and you are 95 percent chance of having a baby. That helps me when I start over thinking things. And then I read this article

    That usually makes me feel better :)

    Im the same. With every story I read I get more fearful, because they make it look so common! But if you take a step back and really look at the numbers.. Theres so many more of us that arent having to post such sad news. Just focus on the positive. Youre not having cramping, or bleeding, and you say things are growing! Now, how could any of that be a bad sign? :)

    There are 5 weeks between appts for me in the second trimester because of scheduling conflicts. I've had those worried moments and just keep reminding myself that the baby was just fine between appts one and two, so all should be well between appts two and three! :)

    I think this is a very common thing. I have been feeling this way a lot too. I was just at the doctor 6 days ago, I was 10 weeks 5days and the baby was completely healthy, 160 heartbeat (i got to see it on an ultrasound but i still haven't heard it yet) and the baby was measuring 11 weeks 1 day. I was told everything was perfect but the more i read on here and online in general has me worried all the time. Everything has been perfect so far so i don't think i have a valid reason to worry so i have to assume its a mommy thing. We can't do anything for our babies and we can't see them or check on them regularly so we just worry.

    I agree it's really hard not to worry! I will be 12 weeks on Thursday and my next appointment is in two weeks. I think I'm beginning to get some ligament pain and every little thing I feel freaks me out. I just have to keep reminding myself that I've seen baby two times and everything will be okay. I sometimes debate not even reading these boards anymore because I feel like it stresses me out more...

    I think it's the loss posts that make me nervous! I guess I don't see enough healthy posts to balance it out.

    I know what you mean, i was thinking this yesterday. I can even feel my uterus has come up over my pubic bone and i still worry the baby isn't growing right.

    I am super worried too. I saw the baby at 7 weeks and now have to wait until 14 weeks. I am 12w3d today. I haven't been able to notice my belly growing but I am a bit overweight so I am hoping that is why. I have never had very strong symptoms aside from very sore boobs. I was nauseous around week 8 and 9 and then mostly just food aversions. And I was exhausted last week but now don't have much symptoms besides sore boobs. It's like I went through the symptoms for just a week or two each and then they went away. I can't wait till I can feel the baby kicking to know that they are okay instead of having to wait for doctor appointments and ultrasounds!

    I got an app called my baby beat and I can listen to the heart beat whenever I want at 12 weeks!

    I am the same way. I bought a doppler and I'm so happy I did! Puts my mind at ease to hear baby's heartbeat.

    I'm feeling the same exact way. FTM at age 29 and currently 11w4d. I'm considered high risk due to fibroids and weight which was a crushing blow. More concerned about fibroids than weight. I am being monitored more frequently than most due to fibroids right now they aren't near the baby but they can grow with yhe increased pregnancy hormones. Had light spotting for a few hours between weeks 6 and 7. Literally woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom saw pink on toilet paper stayed awake all night panicked. By the time my doctor opened in the morning at 9 am it had stopped. Wasn't enough to show up on a pad. Had an ultrasound then doctor and doctor couldn't find the source of bleeding cervix was closed. Did get to see baby and hear heartbeat for the first time which was a little low per doctor 98bpm. Followed up in a week with another ultrasound baby a little bigger heartbeat 121 which doctor said made the pregnancy viable. Haven't seen baby in a month but at my last appointment 3/27 heard heartbeat using doppler and it was 169 bpm music to my ears. I'm nervous every day can't stop looking at toilet paper. And seeing the post about losses doesn't help. My heart breaks for these moms. I feel like I have no one to talk to about my fears (hence this super long post....sorry) BF just doesn't understand and is not really the sympathetic type anyway. And all my friends have healthy babies with low risk pregnancies. Sometimes I feel I'm my own worst enemy with the fear and anxiety. I have my 12 week scan 4/7 and I just can't wait to see my baby.
