Hi ladies. I think I'm after a bit of reassurance/advice really.
I'm 20 weeks today with my first pregnancy. For the past couple of weeks I have started to feel my baby moving around inside me. Fluttering and bubble-bursting like feelings which I have never felt before and are unlike any usual feeling I have in my tummy.
Last night, my OH and I had a huge row which carried on a bit this morning.
We have sorted it out now and drawn a line under it. We don't argue much, but yesterday was just one of those days were we were both tired, I was snappy and he didn't feel well.
Today I haven't been able to feel baby moving at all. I've had slight pain in my lower left tummy - I am telling myself it's just growing/stretching pains. I've tried to get baby to move by gulping down ice cold water, jumping up and down on the spot, giving my tummy a bit of a prod... but nothing.
Now I'm terrified and full of guilt that our argument has harmed our baby!
I spoke to my mother who said stress is no good for me or baby, but a heated argument is very unlikely to have done any significant harm to the baby.
I have my 20 week scan in 4 days time. I was looking forward to it but now I am dreading it for fear of being given the worst news
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance.. TruffleMama xx
