Did anyone else have a “bad feeling” about their pregnancy?

Question

What I mean when I say that is, you kind of knew something was gonna happen. It was almost like a gut feeling, or momma instincts that you knew your pregnancy wasn’t gonna end well, but you chose to ignore it? I had that with my first pregnancy which ended in a missed miscarriage. “Ironically”, I worried about having a missed miscarriage all the time when I was pregnant with my now angel. I remember the morning of my last appointment, I woke up & just the worse feeling about that day. As soon as my doctors started looking for the heartbeat, I started crying because I knew they wouldn’t find it. Once I got my ultrasound, I just stared at my baby because I knew she was smaller than she was suppose to be & I saw no heartbeat. I knew before the ultrasound tech said anything. I look back to that day, and it doesn’t even feel like I was the one who went through it.
Sorry this post turned into something I didn’t expect it to. I haven’t talked about that day in a while. I was just wondering if any other mommas had that bad gut feeling when they were pregnant. I’m so sorry if that question is offensive to anyone, I truly don’t mean it to be. I’m just genuinely curious, because I know a few women who told me they knew something was wrong too.

Answer

I had a gut feeling with my chemical pregnancy.  My husband told me to relax and calm down.  Made me want to punch him!!  the worst part was knowing something was wrong but also knowing there really wasn't anything I could do about it.

Answer

I did. for my 2nd pregnancy I took test after test to make sure it was real. I didnt want to tell anyone. went in for my 1st ultrasound at 10wks and the first thing the ultrasound tech says to me 10 secs into my ultrasound  was "did you take a pregnancy test?" at that moment I knew my gut feeling was right. baby never grew past 5 wks.

Answer

i experienced the same feeling from the start after finding out i was pregnant. At every appointment i was praying for the best but expecting the worse. On april 9th 2018 at my 11 week appt i found out my baby didnt have cardiac activity😭😭😢. So i guess my gut feeling was God preparing me

Answer

I did yeah. At my midwife appointments they couldn’t provide me with all the hand outs and information, they couldn’t weigh me as they didn’t have the resources. I could never find the heartbeat on a Doppler. I just had a feeling. My husband did too, he wouldn’t let us buy anything until we’d had our scan. I felt sick with nerves at my first US and they confirmed I’d miscarried early on :(

Answer

I did!! I ordered a key chain for my husband, but it took me a while to order because I kept thinking to myself, “ what if this end up being a miscarriage?” But I ordered it anyway. 
Than the day of our first ultrasound (8 week) also the day we found out baby had no heartbeat, I woke up boy very excited. It was more like anxious, but bad anxious. I also took pictures of my husband and daughter and was going to post it on social media and then decided not to because I just didn’t want to have to explain after our appointment. 
It was such a weird day/ feeling. Like I almost saw it coming. 
And when the ultrasound tech came in, we say baby right away, but ultrasound tech wasn’t saying anything so I told her, baby has no heartbeat and she looked at me shocked. 
I’m sorry for your loss. But completely understand what you mean!

Answer

Yes. I was super sick with my miscarriage and had nothing with my daughter. Everyone kept saying it was a boy, and I said there was something wrong. When I miscarried, it looked partial molar so they did XY testing. It was a boy :/ so we were all right.

Answer

As soon as I started bleeding the first time in my pregnancy, I knew immediately I was going to miscarry after we got the ultrasound results from the er. A week or two later, I started bleeding again and I had a d&c; because I had an incomplete miscarriage.

Answer

Yup. I constantly worried, although I knew about all the things that could go wrong in pregnancy so I thought maybe I just “knew too much” and was just being my normal anxious self.
I did prenatal genetic screenings and made it into the second trimester. Everything showed very low risk/normal. Early scans, my daughter looked great. I found out she was a girl at a 16 week scan and was so shocked because I thought she’d be a boy.
The morning of my 20 week anatomy scan, I woke up at 2am petrified that something was gonna go wrong. I went in, and my baby looked great but was measuring a week and a half behind. That freaked me out, but no one else (not even the doctor) was concerned. Did a repeat scan 2 weeks later and my baby was now 2 weeks behind in growth. Doctor STILL wasn’t worried even though I was, but she referred me to the high risk OB because of borderline low amniotic fluid.
Went in a week later (23 weeks) to do the ultrasound at the high risk OB and my baby didn’t have a heartbeat. I had just heard it the day before at my regular OB appointment. I didn’t feel her moving the night before so even though I was in shock, I knew deep down that night that something had happened.
After pathology results came back, it said she had Triploidy. The odd thing was that there were no red flags (minus her growth restriction), and I was the only one who had a feeling the whole time something was wrong.

Answer

I felt this way with mine when I knew for a fact how far along I was and in the first scan, they tried to tell me I was 2 weeks behind. I knew I should’ve been 8 weeks and they were only saying 6 but I just trusted them since it was my first pregnancy. I went back in 2 weeks later and I knew the minute she started the ultrasound that it was a problem, she didn’t even have to say it. I knew it was going to be bad when they said I was 2 weeks less along than I knew I was. And I was also sick as a dog the whole pregnancy. Next time, I’ll fight harder for the date I know I should be around.

Answer

I had the worst feeling that a miscarriage was going to happen. From the very start I knew something wasn’t right. I kept telling my husband there was something wrong and he would say that “I didn’t have faith” which broke my heart. But every night when I would pray I would ask God “whatever your plan is good or bad, prepare me for what’s coming” I feel like I was somewhat prepared for it, like I expected it. Even though it hurts, just know there’s a reason for everything. And to finally answer your question, yes, the gut feeling is real and it’s something that never went away until I found out I miscarried. I’ll be praying for you and that you’ll have a sweet baby to snuggle soon. ❤️
