Did anyone feel like this in early pregnancy?

Maybe it's b/c I had a m/c in the winter, but i'm just scared and trying not to be. Even though we heard a strong heartbeat Friday (YAY) I'm worried because suddenly on Monday my nausea stopped and I feel just, normal, or, not pregnant and it's worrying me. I know at 8 weeks there's not much to feel. But my doctor knows I worry and she just let me come in for some blood work. I'll go again Friday but she really didn't seem concerned. I'm not bleeding or cramping or anything and I don't want to stress myself or baby out, but as I'm sure you all know sometimes it's hard to control. And there is much to read online....which isn't always good.

First of all Lana, Congratulations again!
I actually just recently threw out Lana for a girl's name!

When I got pregnant with DS (2 months after a m/c) I was excited but very guarded. I was very happy to be pregnant again, and while I wasn't overly cautious about every single thing, I knew that until that baby was in my arms, anything could happen.

It's normal, and I was like you...I felt totally normal, no symptoms at all.

You will be fine. Just take it one day at a time and stop reading everything possible, you will go crazy!

I felt so normal in the beggining that at my 8 week appointment I told my doc there was no way there was a baby in there.... then they did the sonogram and proved me wrong!

Don't stress out - im sure everything is fine

Re: Did anyone feel like this in early pregnancy?

Yes, I felt the exact same way with this pregnancy--and probably because, like you, I had a miscarriage last year. Even when I had JUST heard the heartbeat or whatever, I just could not relax. I went and rented the Doppler around 14 wks, and then wouldn't you know...I suddenly relaxed and I don't even bother with it anymore. I've used it about 4 times...well, there's $80 down the drain!

I hope you are able to relax and enjoy very soon!


PS...Gina, as I was reading this thread, my 3 year old peeked over my shoulder and saw your avatar and said, "Look, Mommy, it's you!" I guess because we're both "curliegirls!!"

Your anxiety is completely normal. With my first pregnancy and this pregnancy I have no symptoms of being pregnant other than being tired. No cravings or sickness, nothing! This always concerns me.....the first three months seems to be the most stressful for a lot of people!!
