I mean as far as the baby goes? Over the past couple of days, I can't shake this "bad" feeling like something is wrong. Do you guys get those? I don't have a doppler (well, I do, but I can't find it! LOL). I have an appointment tomorrow, but after last week's scare and STILL not feeling her move, I just have this really bad, nagging feeling. Please tell me I'm not the only one and it's normal

I get more of feelings that something is going to go wrong at some point and just always hoping its more later then sooner. I am worried about my P'd off irritable uterus that has started its attitude problem the past week and going into PTL being stuck in a funky hospital. Hugs I am sure all is well with your lo its natural for us mamas to worry you know thats practice whats wrong with you lol! Hang in there and update us when you get back.

I go days where I am ok then I worry. I think its normal. I mean Im 13w2days and I still check the Tp after I pee everytime and I havent spotted once.

Just think your baby only weighs a bit over 2 oz which is very tiny so not feeling anything is completely normal! I have tilted uterus so I couldnt even hear the babies heartbeat at my Dr visit last week. I dont have a bump yet either.

I alos get nervous right before my Dr appt too. Im sure everything is just fine with your wee one.. hang in there. Wont it be nice when you are bigger and can feel movement that way you can just say ok I know all is well

[LoverlyJules]

I'm totally with you. Had a loss last summer, so it's hard to stay positive all the time. Hearing the HB at our last appt definitely helped. Hope we can calm down soon!

[mandattu_02]

I'm with the PP. I have good days where I don't worry and then other days where I do nothing but worry, which I know is not good for me or baby.

I still check the TP after each visit to the potty and almost every little twinge, I think, "oh no, what if somethings wrong?!" Its been especially bad the past couple weeks after I heard baby on the doppler really well one night and then just barely able to find him/her since then.

Hang in there, its totally normal! With Ryan, I stopped worrying after about week 20/21, but then my sister has a still born at 38 weeks in January 2011 and so, the last 2 months of my pregnancy I was a total wreck and worry wart up until Ryan was delivered and I heard him cry. It's totally natural to worry!

[Teeniemama]

Isn't it still sort of early to feel her move? Of course I have little experience with any of this. I do think it's normal to worry, especially after you had a scare. I hope your appointment goes great tomorrow and you feel 100% better!!!

[MommaSunshine]

so far so good with this pregnancy, but i had those feelings with my daughter SO strongly at about 37 weeks I actually asked my dr to push up my c-section cause my "instinct" was telling me something was wrong. Yeah, doctor didn't buy it lol and it turned out everything was fine, i guess I was just overly anxious!

[mommaof4andhalf]

I am also one of the ones who has the anxiety of something going wrong. I have my days where all is well, then I have days where I think everything will go wrong. I am so petrified of something going wrong with the c section that I almost want to keep Globby on the inside forever LOL. I definitely need a good slap some days.

I have my days, too. Yesterday I was checking up on one of our TTCMA girls, and she had to deliver her twins at 30 weeks...I was in a funk for the rest of the day worrying about having NICU babies! I have no reason to logically be worried, but some days it gets the best of me.

I also still check the TP every.single.time...glad I'm not the only one

[doremi]

I've already told you guys the worry is a constant battle with me this pregnancy... it's getting better as time goes on, but I still get scared every time I see blood on the TP. Darn cervical polyp

[Bonnie1227]

I know the feeling!! Yesterday I started thinking "does my stomach look smaller" but I tried to tell myself that my bloat just left. Then I started thinking "I feel I should have gained more weight than I have...I hope nothing is wrong" The ultrasound on Thursday can not get here soon enough!!

[HopeTea]

I was worried pretty much daily up until this week. Having a bump really made a lot of difference for me. Now I can kind of "see" things moving along. Still can't wait for my next appointment at 15 weeks, though!

I think everyone worries. There's probably no way to turn it off. Just try to think positively and don't stress about things that haven't come up yet. Easier said than done, but instead of worrying, try and focus on things that make you happy and excited for the baby.

[Stilettos-N-Sippys]

Awww, I'm sorry Nicole... I'm sure everything is perfectly fine.

I get bad feelings and the majority of the time they're right. It's bizarre.

BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, I think pregnancy is just a breeding ground for worry and freaking ourselves out. Try not to worry mama

[hiskid1324]

Every day. I'm not showing. I'm 13w 1d. I keep THINKING I feel the baby moving (no, seriously, I'm pretty sure I do), but without being able to see myself growing, and HARDLY being able to feel my uterus (I'm measuring pretty much dead on for my dates, assuming my probing is right), but it doesn't make me feel better. *sigh*

[bryan and nina]

I worry a lot some days as well. I'm also with your girls still checking TP every single time.
I think it's just a normal mommy thing to worry a lot. Hopefully once we all start to really show and feel those kicks, we can relax!

[***MrsSmith***]

I feel the exact same way so I am buying a doppler just for that reason. And the 'zings' and 'cramps' aren't helping much at all. I think I feel 'it' move maybe once a day but then I have gas so of course it was that instead. Good luck at your appt today and keep us posted!

[KatieHeitman]

I worry all the time. Then I just tell myself everything is okay and it's all in God's hands, he will take care of me and the baby.

[Beth04]

I think its normal to feel that way. Even though I know things are probably okay, every day I am on the look out for something going wrong, like I'm expecting it (bleeding, cramping etc). Even when I was 30 something weeks pregnant last time, if I didn't feel him move for an hour or two I was freaking out trying to make him move. He turned out just fine!

[BabyLover]

I have moments I'm convinced that something is wrong with the baby. I'm usually put at ease after using my doppler and hearing the HB. I remember having these moments with DS too.
