No question is a crazy one RIGHT!? Dead fetus??

Question

Hello all glow users I will be 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I can't help but to worry about if my baby is still alive or has passed in utero! Ik this may sound crazy but I have no energy and I don't feel pregnant anymore. My morning sickness has come back and often I am hit with headaches that are unbearable! Ik the only way to be sure is to go to the doctor so they can detect a heartbeat but I recently just moved to a new state and my insurance here hasn't kicked in yet! I guess I'm trying to find out has this happen to anyone before and what were your symptoms!? What made u question your pregnancy!?

Answer

Those are symptoms of pregnancy and you would have bleeding and really bad cramps

Answer

I have felt like that my entire pregnancy so far for absolutely no reason. (I've had very few symptoms though, that was a lot of it.) nothing has been wrong at any appointment, just me being paranoid! If it'll help your stress, and you can afford it, it might be worth looking into private ultrasound places. I was cramping the other day and knew I would make myself insane, so I found a place here that advertises Facebook specials all the time, and she did what she called a "quick scan" and gave me a stuffed animal that has a recording of the heartbeat in it for $50. I also signed up to do my gender scan with her in two weeks for $40. (That quick scan also lasted about 10 minutes, and she was awesome!) it's money going out, but it can be much cheaper than some alternatives and was good for settling down my nerves for now!

Answer

Yes trust yourself... I would go to the er if it is something you are qui e worried about. I was 11 weeks when I stopped feeling all my symptoms.. So I thought I may be further along, or having an easy pregnancy. Went to my Dr for an ultrasound, an they told me my baby was no longer alive... I don't tell you this to scare you, just to share my experience. If there is nothing wrong, then you're just being a cautious momma, an your mind can be eased(: but just in case I would contact a Dr... Maybe call the one from your previous state?

Answer

My fear this preg was that as I had a mmc at 14 weeks last time 
But I always had low hcg with first one and no symptoms what so ever 
This time round I lost all symptoms at 10 weeks and have been panicked but everytime I go in there's a lil boy jumping around 
I'd try and get get checked some how I'd even recommend a doppler but after you have been checked first

Answer

I feel super paranoid as well, last ultrasound was at 13 weeks. I'm currently 18 weeks. Next appt is Tuesday, an ultrasound to find out the gender! But every day I get worried...so I ordered a fetal Doppler yesterday. $37 on eBay. I guess only thing that clears my worries is seeing my baby on ultrasound or listening to heart beat. :/

Answer

Trust your intuition, if your insurance hasn't gone in effect and you're very nervous go to the ER, another alternative might be to buy one of the store heart monitors? I'm not sure how far along you have to be to be able to hear it on a store bought monitor but you can look it up and it can give you peace of mind

Answer

I actually feel the same way... Some days I don't feel pregnant. I feel normal. Which is normal in the second trimester. Some days like today I have a horrible headache all day. Sometimes I still have morning or all day sickness still. I've had two miscarriages and I can tell you if something's wrong this far in your pregnancy you'll be in pain or be bleeding! I actually have a fetal Doppler at home that wasn't too expensive it usually eases my worries. It was a it 30$ off eBay.

Answer

If you feel this way I'd go to the ER. Trust your gut. But not having morning sickness at 16 weeks is not abnormal. Most people's nausea disappears shortly after 12 weeks. And headaches are definitely common during pregnancy as well. Good luck!

Answer

I was feeling sick and had a feeling something was wrong but thought surely nothing will happen to my baby. That was at 17 weeks. Went to doctor at 20 weeks and their was no heart beat. Please trust your gut and get your baby checked immediately.

Answer

I'm 15 weeks and this is my 4th... I v been paranoid for the last 15 weeks... Some days I feel pregnant and other days I don't.. I actually forget at times and start doing stuff that I probably shouldn't do.. I feel like my self.. If you are dealing with headaches etc.. I want you to get blood work done.. I want you to drink water.. Even a boost now or then... You need to make sure your keeping up with you and baby.. I recently found out I have low iron.. Felt tired and like shit.. The pills are helping.. Post on a sale site in FB near you for a Doppler .. You never know who might have one for cheap you can get.. I have one here I ordered of EBay.. Best thing ever to ease my mind.. Please do t stress over it.. I know it's hard at this point because we don't feel baby to keep us informed it's ok.. If you ever need to chat contact me on FB under Mommies Helping Mommies Now and Then..or Traci Marie Van Buskirk
