I'm hoping someone else can understand what I mean by this, I feel really sad and bit scared today. I saw my beautiful baby on my scan a few weeks ago and heard his/her heartbeat, and felt elated for a while but in the last 2 weeks all my symptoms have gone - no nausea, boobs seem to have deflated, no tenderness, no tummy cramps or twinges, and where I thought I was starting to get a bit of a hard bump, I just have a very flabby belly. I can't believe how emotional this is making me, I'm really scared. People keep saying 'oh its normal, the placenta is taking over' but I feel useless and also convinced this is not right. I also feel almost depressed at how fat my belly is when there is clearly no need, when the baby is only the size of a lemon...Does anyone else feel like this? The only thing I seem to have is horrific heartburn, which could be from me eating like a horse because I'm so nervous all the time. I've already gained about 7 pounds which is also making me miserable since allegedly I'm not even supposed to have gained 4 pounds yet....sorry to moan, I really hope you don't all think I'm ungrateful, its only because I know how precious this baby is that I'm going a bit mad I think, and the weight gain thing is just an add on.
I'm sure in a few weeks the bump will pop out and once I feel the baby moving I will know all is ok, but if anyone else due in October is feeling like this, please let me know I'm not going mad! Hope you're all doing well xxx
