11+6 and convinced it's all gone wrong

[Noonlitt]

I don't know how to explain it, I still have morning sickness, sore boobs, occasional twinges and the like, but I just look at or touch my stomach and it doesn't feel pregnant anymore. Not that it physically felt pregnant, if that makes sense. I just get this horrid gut feeling that somethings changed. All the posts I've read on her about MMC say they just knew something wasn't right. I've had such a positive gut feeling this entire time and I'm so upset to feel this way. 2 more days until my 12 week scan.

@Noonlitt The first thing you need to STOP doing is googling stuff, I know its easier said than done but sometimes just reading 1 line can make you worry about 1000 things that you don't need to even acknowledge.

I 100% understand that feeling of being on edge all the time and wondering if all is okay but you have to keep positive and tell you self everything is fine. I was in such shock when I found out I was expecting, I was convinced something was going to go wrong and I literally kept going to the loo to see if there was any blood, I'm 25+2 and I've only just let myself enjoy this pregnancy. From what you have said, you haven't had any of the normal signs of something going wrong so take that as a huge positive. There is no point in stressing yourself and you body out if you have no reason too. As I keep saying on here, don't be like me and regret not enjoying being pregnant from day 1, when I look back, I've spent most of this pregnancy being a chronic worrier and I wish I'd had more days of smiles and a more positive attitude.

Everything will be fine. X

I had this feeling too for no reason I could identify as I had no serious cramps or bleeding. All was fine and I'm now 20 weeks. Sometimes I think people do know something but often I think it's just anxiety and fearing the worst. If something has gone wrong you then assume that feeling was correct but if all is fine you forget about the dread and move on. Until next time!

This is my first pregnancy but I think the anxiety is very common and your mind can bend any twinge or feeling into confirming your worst fears. I'm not sure I know how to help but recognising that at least some of that feeling is anxiety can be helpful. My husband was also great at reminding me it was just as likely to be worry as anything else though I did find that infuriating at times as I didn't know how he could be so confident it was all fine!

Thinking of you for the scan and I hope all is well.
