11 weeks pregnant - reassurance?

[RGxo13]

Hi everyone. I’m 11 weeks 1 day pregnant.
I suppose I’m looking for a little reassurance.
This might sound really stupid but I’m worried because I don’t feel pregnant.
This is my second pregnancy, I had a miscarriage in August (only about 5 weeks). I haven’t had any morning sickness, no more than standard tiredness and don’t have a bump or anything to show yet. By the end of the day, I look like I’ve had a good meal but I guess that’s just bloating because there’s nothing in the morning? I don’t know, I just feel terrified that I’m not experiencing the things that everyone tells you that you will experience. I paid for an early scan at 7 weeks where I was told everything looked ok and the heart was beating and not to worry but obviously it’s weeks later and I don’t feel like I’ve changed much? I’ve got my 12 weeks scan two weeks today but that seems like an eternity away. The only symptoms I’ve had are my boobs have blown up (I’m skinny and never had boobs before so very noticeable!) and I’ve had a pretty bad sinus infection but I suffer with those anyway. Am I overthinking? A friend has posted on Facebook today that she’s been for her 12 week scan and there wasn’t a heartbeat so that’s scared the living daylights out of me.

I think pregnancy after miscarriage is more anxiety than excitement.

I didn’t believe I was going to have a healthy baby even when I was in the labour room about to push.

There is nothing to suggest that there is anything wrong with your pregnancy, I didn’t “feel” pregnant at 12 weeks either, I had. I symptoms at all and I was convinced they were going to tell me I was imagining the whole thing at my scan.

It's okay to worry OP. I am currently 31 weeks and have had so many private scans etc because I worried myself. At 11 weeks, baby isn't even 2 inches long so you wouldn't have a noticeable bump at this point which is very normal xxx

When I was pregnant after my MmC I was constantly worried. I paid for so many private scans, it must have come to at least a grand. He's here now and I don't regret it as it put my mind at ease. I was quite skinny before Ds. I've put on a bit of weight but didn't show a bump until 16weeks. My boobs got massive though and still are at 8 months post partum. I went from a c to a e, so fully understand the boob thing. I had a little morning sickness but went away after couple of weeks. It became less anxious when I could feel him. At 18 weeks I first felt him poke me it was his little way of reassuring me. Congratulations op and I wish you all the best in your pregnancy x

Thank you so much every one. It’s good to hear your stories and I think you’re all right, it’s definitely anxiety from the miscarriage taking over! You totally hit the nail on the head about the doubt @LittleLillie. I’m going to try and keep relaxed now for two weeks, wish me luck!

Know for a fact I will end up paying for more scans like you two @FirstTimeTryer93 @Cosmicdreams 😂

The absolute best of luck, I’m looking forward to hearing all is well x
