Symptoms Disappeared - Should I be worried?

[Rubymachine]

I never ever expected to feel so anxious during pregnancy, but here I am!

I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks and finally have my 12 week scan tomorrow. The first trimester has been extremely rough with numerous symptoms running alongside each other but for the last week I haven’t been feeling them as much.

The last few days I have noticed my boobs aren’t hurting, I’m able to eat more and full meals (although not large), not throwing up and my general feeling of feeling rubbish has vanished.

I can’t help but feel anxious that my reduction of symptoms is a bad sign. I had a private scan at 10 weeks and the baby was showing with a strong heartbeat but I have such a fear of going tomorrow and being told there is nothing there. All I see (or maybe focus on) online is horror stories of “missed miscarriages” and I’m so worried about this happening.

I’m also conscious that me and my partner have been through an extremely stressful time the past two weeks with the sudden death of his father and I can’t help but feel the stress and emotions from this could have affected the baby.

Has anyone else experienced a reduction in symptoms but everything has been fine? I’m really trying to not be consumed with anxiety but it’s so hard! Any advice is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance - from a very nervous first time mum! X

That's completely normal. Breast tenderness, morning sickness, nausea and fatigue SHOULD disappear around 12 weeks.

I'd suggest doing some research into pregnancy and what's to be expected at each stage, otherwise you'll panic about completely normal things and stress can cause you to miscarry.

Thank you for commenting, I have done some research but there are so many search results and some quite contradicting articles online.

I’m fully aware stress is not good and can cause miscarriages and that’s why I’m just looking for some advice / support from those who may have experienced similar feelings etc to try and ease my anxiety 😊

Normal everyday stress does not increase risk of miscarriage, some studies have shown a potential link between experiencing a bereavement whilst pregnant can result in increase miscarriage risk but it's not clear.

I wouldn't worry re symptoms reducing/disappearing in second trimester - enjoy it!

Totally normal OP, you'll often have a change/ reduction in symptoms as the placenta takes over around 10-12 weeks.

Good luck with your scan

Normal honey. you are lucky I have had rough time dealing with morning sickness until I found a herbal formula to get rid of this agony. "Morning sickness tea" y secrets of tea. An herbal blend for morning sickness and nausea. This tea helps improving digestion, alleviate reflux and gives energy.

Any update? Also traumatised by missed miscarriage stories - totally self inflicted!
