I hope I'm just being paranoid...

I am almost 10 weeks and all of a sudden I feel different. My belly looks smaller and I don't have the pregnant feeling or any other symptoms I was having before. I am scared...did anyone else have a complete lack of symptoms at some point in their pregnancy and then go on to have a healthy baby?

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

Definately a paranoid moment- I remember my doctor telling me at my 8 wk appointment that the next few weeks were the worst if you didn't have any true pregancy symptoms, like I did.

I am sure you are fine

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

I didn't feel PG the entire 9 months of being PG with DD (besides the growing belly)

ETA: at 12 weeks with #2....still don't feel PG

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

Same with me. M/S is not too bad. I actually did not feel pregnant at all the entire Thanksgiving break. I even told DH. "I don't feel PG". He knows I am paranoid. Belly is about the same. I bloated right away but I am not growing since.

I guess when they say it gets better... it's true.

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

Yup! And actually it coincided with me bleeding so it was very scary - I was actually I think 7 wks. I called the dr. got a sono and everything was Ok. Everyone says there can be times in the first tri where you wake up with no pg symptoms. For me they came back, but that was ok it meant I still "felt" pg.

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

How are you feeling? Hopefully, pregnant and icky. When do you go to the doctor again? I had the same feelings and I made them see me sooner...if you can see if they will so you can get some peace of mind. It was torture waiting for 12 weeks.

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

They do say towards the end of your first trimester you start feeling better.
I started loosing my symptons around 11-12 weeks and went on to have 2 healthy babies.

You could rent a doppler from Babybeats. You should be able to hear the heartbeat now. It's only like 15 a month if I remember correctly. It might give you some peace of mind. Try not to worry too much.

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

I experienced the same thing and completely understand. I was dying to get to my appt...then they only check the heartbeat and that was not good enough for me...I lived for each minute to pass until the ultrascreen to SEE the baby.

I always worry...until I can feel the baby I think I will be a wreck. Hang in there and keep taking care of yourself. You are doing a great job!

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

I always say if it wasn't for my big belly, I would not even know I was pregnant. I am sure everything is fine

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

Today i actually feel pretty ok. I was like "OMG is somethign wrong" but I know that all is ok. B/c i am having a wicked mood swing today and still feel a little dizzy and out of breath when i walk up the steps or walk fast. Try not to worry. I can't wait for my symptoms to go away.

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

Thanks, ladies. I still feel the same - not pregnant. I have my Nuchal Translucency ultrasound on December 14th, and I have blood tests tomorrow..I will ask the Dr. to check my hcg levels to make sure everything is ok.

I am soooooooo paranoid!! This sucks!

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

I went through that a couple of weeks ago with my belly. I swore that it got smaller. I was so nervous, and couldnt wait till my next appt. Everything was fine tho, I know how you feel!

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

This never happened to me (I am still vomitting at least once a day at 18 weeks) BUT when I went on Zofran and wasn't puking as much, I did get nervous.

As for your belly being smaller, you may have just lost some of the bloat that you get after your BFP.

Re: I hope I'm just being paranoid...

I am 18 weeks and this happened to me in the last 2 weeks. I just didnt FELL pregnant and i didnt feel like I was gaining weight.
I went to the dr last night and everything is fine...i guess we just get paranoid sometimes
