I cant describe how I feel ... just keep feeling things arent quite right!!![sad]

[twoplusone]

I am 15+4 with my 3rd and cant seem to stay positive about the pg. I feel the best I have in ages this week actually feel like me again..

But I just keep thinking that the baby isnt ok dont know why no reason to suspect any problems..

Do you think it could be I have left the first stage where we have all the symptoms, moved to second so only symptoms really are slight bump, thicker waist, bigger/sore boobs (quite a few really, think I may just be being silly!!)
I suppose from here it is the waiting game again, waiting tohere lo heartbeat and fto start feeling the the movements more clearly..

Or do you think I could just be over anxious!! about things. I have had a real stressful few months, on my own with a 10 yr old and 2 year old in new country... Dh hme in 2weeks so stress levels will start to go down then....

hi, sorry to hear you're feeling like this

i'm 14+4 and have had the odd worry. i have lost 3 pregnancies in the past so expect to fret a bit. for me it has helped to have a doppler - i can always check the heartbeat to make sure all is ok. then only a few weeks til the anomoly (sp.?) scan.

if you're really worried, maybe ask your gp or midwife to listen to the h/b for you? i'm sure they wouldn't mind and it would put your mind at rest x

I am the same and also on no. 3. I think that MN is largely to blame - before I joined this forum I was blissfully ignorant of what can and does go wrong.

Now I am far too aware of all the possible risks/pitfalls/tragic endings. It's made me pretty paranoid and unable to really enjoy the pregnancy to some extent.

I thought that after my 22 week scan I'd start to relax and to a certain extent I have done but I still have dark thoughts and panic if I don't feel the baby moving for more than an hour or two.

I was at the drs on monday as have been over doing things Lifting etc.. but they couldnt pick the heart beat up.. I have a home doppler but mine is a summer and it says from 21 weeks + for that one.. so havent botheres with it yet.. I am seeint he midwife on Monday so hopefully she will find the hb then..

I have been lucky and never had a mc, had a very proplamatic pg with my first (10yrs ago) though, I had the feeling from the begginning of that pg that I wouldnt go to term and there wouuld be problems, I didnt and there were....

I am (hopefully) worried about nothing just needed to air my feelings.. if DH was here I know he would be a great support and stop me thinking like this..

Dejags you have hit the nail on the head there too , on here you do become more aware of things that can and do go wrong..

I just need to start feeling ++++++++++++++++++++

As I say, I feel a bit better now that the 22 week scan is out of the way.

I scare myself because I firmly believe you map your own destiny to some extent and that thinking bad things will ultimately result in bad things. Am trying much harder to think positively.

Last night the baby was very quiet - she is still very little though (23 weeks), I couldn't sleep and just lay still waiting for her to move. True to form - as I sat down at my desk this morning she started kicking away happily. All I got for my trouble are large bags under my eyes

Thank you for your replies...

With you on the bags under your eyes ds (2yrs old) decided to wake at 1.15am and was full of the joys of spring and wouldnt sit still or settle till 5.30am then he woke at 8........
