Sudden loss of symptoms, I'm convinced something is wrong!

[BeeAfi89]

Hi sorry if this post is really long. So I'm around 11+2 weeks pregnant. My symptoms have been feeling/being sick most of the day, occasional sore boobs, food/smell aversions. I am a highly anxious person anyway so I have already paid for 3 private scans at 5,7,9 weeks. Each scan the baby appeared to have got bigger and a heart beat was detected, the sonographer did not seem concerned. I suffered from symptons up until about a week ago and EVERY SINGLE symptom has just vanished. I woke up one morning and I no longer felt pregnant, I could stand any smell and eat any food, nothing made me feel sick. I am convinced the baby has died and I'm having a missed miscarriage. I have taken one tablet of Cyclizine every day for the past two weeks as my sickness waa bad and now beating myself up that it has harmed the baby. I'm trying to think more positive and tell myself that on each scan all was ok and my 12 week scan is on monday so not long to wait, it's only been 2 weeks since my last one, surely nothing has happened in those 2 weeks?!? I read somewhere that it is around this time the placenta kicks in and that's why symtpoms go. Anyone who can shed some light or share their stories I would be so grateful as I'm in turmoil right now.

If you've seen your baby develop over 3 different scans, chances are everything is fine. I've miscarried twice and also had two children. By 11 weeks with both my live children I'd lost symptoms and felt very similar to yourself in terms of worry, but it transpired to be fine. With my recent mc it was a very different sensation of 'knowing' - not only had I lost symptoms, I had gained worrying PMS type ones (continuous lower back pain was the key one, started bleeding a few days later). Losing symptoms isnt a worry at this stage, they definitely ease off coming up to the second trimester for many people. Obviously, nothing is 100% guaranteed, but if you've seen a heartbeat previously then most pregnancies go on to be successful. Good luck with your scan.

i had the same, first few months were very bad, then turned normal. but dislike of some food continued all the way.

You do lose lots of the shit first trimester symptoms eventually, OP. For most, the second trimester is characterised by feeling more or less OK and you're moving into that now.

Op - I've had 3 pregnancies (and one missed miscarriage). With each one my early pregnancy symptoms disappeared quickly around 12 weeks. With the first 2 I had a lot of nausea and could only eat certain foods. With the third I craved all food - any food - and just wanted to eat all the time. But in each case, those symptoms disappeared around 12 weeks.

That’s normal. It’s around that point that the placenta takes over which is why symptoms often ease.

If you saw a heart beat at 9 weeks your odds are very, very good.

Thank you, this is reassuring for me to read x
