Ok so for the past couple of days I have just had a feeling that something isnt right with the baby. It is probably me just being paranoid. But something feels wrong. I go in on tuesday for a heartbeat scan. I get to go in every two weeks. One is an appointment and one is just for me to have piece of mind. I have to wait until tuesday or wednesday and I am scared. I know the chances of miscarraige are low after 13 weeks but I am freaked out. I thought I felt the baby move a few days ago but for the past couple of days I havent felt half as tired or nausous but I know that those dwindle off in the second tri. Oh well have to wait about 4 more days to get piece of mind
At 13 weeks the nausea does taper off, and your body gets really used to the idea of being pregnant. However, you may not feel a lot of movement yet. I really did not feel much movement with my little athlete until 16 weeks. Then I wondered if I was going to be raising a competitive swimmer.
Now that he is a teenager, he is a distance runner.
I would relax. There are days still I forget I am pregnant until I look down at my stomach. Your going to have really good day, and days that are horrible. But those are the joys of pregnancy and children. Just enjoy your weekend and keep peace of mind.
Have you thought about getting an at home doppler? My earlier miscarriage made me so scared throughout my pg with Scarlet. I didn't feel comfortable or that she's was really going to be okay until the day she was born, maybe a little later. It was helpful to have a doppler throughout the second trimester though. It was after the first trimester symptoms disappeared and before there was consistent movement that I was most worried. Hearing the heartbeat whenever I got nervous was calming.
I got myself in to such a state just before my 13 week appointment because I didn't 'feel' pregnant. When they took a minute to find the baby I burst into tears convinced something was wrong. But all was 100% ok. I had a home doppler and it gave me great peace of mind.
Well the dr told me I can no longer work. As I lost some more weight and the dr is worried about stress. So now money is REALLY tight. We can not afford to rent one and we were going to buy one but certain bills came out of nowhere that caused me not to have the money. i wish i could get one but I cant figure how to work any extra in the budget. Seriously Derek can barely afford the rent and other bills on his own I already feel like a mooch because I can not help pay the bills. Luckily our Roommate is being nice and letting us split the bills in half I just am thankful my Dr is nicer than my SIL dr. I get to go in and listen for the heartbeat she has to wait a month in between and she has had three miscarraiges but he wont classify her high risk. I think everything will probably be ok. It is probably me just being paranoid.
Kristin I can not tell you how many times I had the same feeling and the same thing happen to me! It wasn't until I started to feel the baby move everyday (around 20 weeks) that I felt "safe" about the pregnancy. I know how hard it is to wait but I am sure everything is fine. If you get to upset then just go to the ER b/c its not good for you to worry so much. If it is really bugging you than go in and have the baby checked out! Another thing is sometimes hospital rent or let you use there dopplers if your high risk. Ask your Dr. if they might be able to get you one. If your Dr. wants you to get one then your insurance might cover it too! Good luck at your appt.!
