Anyone feel less pregnant at 12 weeks and worried?

Question

Anyone else get to 12 weeks and worried MORE?  I probably am psyching myself out, but I keep trying to feel some hint of a moving baby in my belly. I read about woman who have babies that stop growing at 8-9 weeks and they have no idea. I haven't seen my baby via Ultrasound since eight weeks and am nervous.    Anyone else feel like this but everything is fine?

I probably should call my doctor and get a heartbeat.......

Answer

I'm 16 wks and I feel that way too. I don't feel the baby move and probably won't for another few weeks. It's too small but my last ultrasound which was a couple of days ago showed all is good. Baby is growing, normal, and healthy. It's hard now because the morning sickness is gone so it makes me feel even more like Something is wrong. Feel comforted to know that it's very normal to feel that way. My friend who was 7 months pregnant started worrying that something was wrong with her baby girl because she wasn't moving for days. Turns out some babies are like that as well. The baby girl was a good sleeper so when she came out to the world, she was already a great sleeper. Let's hope we have that same luck too!

Answer

I don't think the worry ever goes away- even after they are born. But- a home doppler really helped ease my mind. I've had 2 previous miscarriages one that was a missed miscarriage so I was very worried. Especially once I got the 2nd trimester and stopped feeling so sick all the time. I got a home doppler (sonoline b brand) and periodically checked for my baby's heartbeat. I never have any trouble finding it and it just reassures me that she's okay in there.
