Hi there, I'm 17 weeks pregnant (first pregnancy) and since Saturday morning I have been really worried as I just don't feel 'pregnant' anymore, I don't really know how to explain it, I just don't feel like there's anything there anymore. I know I probably sound so silly (I struggle with my anxiety) which is why I wanted to ask here for some reassurance. I just feel empty and light inside compared to how I felt before and pressing my abdomen with my hands it feels softer now whereas before it was starting to feel harder. Also I've stopped getting the stretching pains I was having (I haven't felt anything at all for days) and the tiredness I had has gone, when before I was so exhausted and had no energy! I'm also worrying because on Friday Dp and I had sex and I felt as though I stretched my lower stomach so I'm worried that maybe I've harmed the baby. Ive had no bleeding or cramps but I made the mistake of googling and reading about 'missed miscarriages' :( now I'm panicking about that. I also read that there's a link between not having morning sickness and being more likely to miscarry :( my next midwife appointment is on Friday but until then I was hoping to hear from people with more experience than me, is this a normal phase of pregnancy? Is it normal to stop feeling pregnant? Has anyone else felt this way? Sorry if this is a stupid post I just can't stop worrying, I keep looking at my scan pic and I love that little baby so much already. Thank you for reading x
