18-8-2009 - worried for no reason!??

My mood while writing this blog: weird

---

For some odd reason I find myself worrying about the baby at night when I'm lying in bed. The fact he or she hasnt said hello to me in he form of a poke or kick yet is starting to freak me out. I also have my big ultrasound to check the anatomy, health, and sex of the baby on Monday- and I hav no idea why I'm freaking out! Im sooo scared something is going to be wrong. I keep trying to tell myself not to worry, everything will be fine, things will turn out great, and I tend to worry more. What the heck is wrong with me!! Jimminay! The glass seems to be half empty all the time these days!! IS this hormones!? OH GOSH NOW IM CRYING ABOUT IT! I would talk to my hub but when I get all worked up like this he tends to laugh at me. Im having a mini panic attack right now! ah!

i had a dodgy barbacue on tuesday and had bad guts all day yesterday, was panicking incase ive poisoned my little one, but all seems ok today, not sure if ive had movement or not as this is my first, cant wait for my 20 week scan on 4th Sept think ill feel more relaxed after that xx

Maybe the movement is because of where the placenta is. Hope Monday goes well and you see a healthy, strong baby! My ultrasound is on Monday too.

You are not alone. I know on a realistic level that if I am not bleedying and my water hasn't broke then he is OK. However, I do the panic thing EVERY NIGHT and I cry like crazy too. I think the inability to control whether this baby is OK is extra hard added with the hormones. Soon we will sneak to the crib at night and make sure the lil ones are breathing. Then we will have instant gratification to our worry so let's hold on til then.

this is my 3rd baby. Although I've felt her move, it's not very often. I was freaked out that something is wrong. They told me no, it's just because of the placement of my placenta. Supposedly that's pretty common. Ho was your scan?

Don't freak out yet, I haven't felt my little bundle of joy moving inside of me. I had my 18 week u/s and they said that she is a mover, but I still haven't felt anything. They also told me that she is healthy and has two arms, two legs, 4 valves for her heart, all the that good stuff. It seems, to me, that everything is fine so I'm not worrying about not feeling her.

I actually had a mini attack like that this morning. I feel my baby move, but not in a consistent way yet. So I was getting ready this morning and realized I hadn't felt anything since the afternoon before. I had a moment of panic. I think that's pretty normal. That feeling should stop once your baby gets bigger and has a movement pattern.

AT 19 weeks it can still be too early to feel the baby, especially if the placenta is anterior, then it is too cushioned for you to feel anything through. I remember at my ultrasound I was about 18 weeks and my DD is moving like crazy inside. The ultrasound tech kept asking me can't you feel that, and I could not feel a thing. It is totally normal to feel anxious about your pregnancy and the baby. Not to mention the hormones will also make you go nuts! I am having my second and I still worry alot! I also lay in bed waiting for the baby to move, and if I don't feel anything for a day, I start to panic and get out my doppler and listen to the heartbeat for some reasurance. I think after your ultrasound you will feel a little better, once you see the baby moving around and that everything is okay. Hang in there, some women don't feel movement for up to 24 weeks. It will happen, and when it does it will be the most amazing experience ever! Let us know how your ultrasound goes!

I was EXTREMELY anxious with my 1st!! My doc ended up giving me something..... However, my baby turned out perfect!! Some woman go through this... I was one of them. It's the hormones. I do hope all is well and that the u/s gives you comfort!!

I understand your worries, but thankfully you will have an u/s pretty soon, so at least you can put your mind at rest. If you want you can buy at amazon "angelsounds fetal doppler" I bought it last friday and it came on monday!! Is not that expensive, just 39.99...and now I reassure myself that everything is allright buy listening at the baby's heartbeat, I would suggest you get one if you worry too much :)
