For those of you who worry a lot between appointments did your anxiety go down after you could feel the baby move?

Question

Answer

I was usually content for a few weeks after my exams, but then my anxiety would spike again and would be CONVINCED something was wrong. Now that I can feel baby moving around (and husband can also so I know it’s not actually just in my head) it definitely helps curb the anxiety between appointments!

Answer

I’m really hoping more constant movement will be helpful for me. I’m good for the first couple weeks after my appointments, and then I start to get anxious again leading up to the next one. The 16 week appointment was the worst so far because I had stopped feeling many first trimester symptoms, wasn’t showing, and just felt not pregnant. Everything was perfect of course, but it doesn’t stop the nerves. I think I have started to feel baby move but it comes in spurts and I’m not sure if it’s baby or just my body. We go to the doctor tomorrow, I’m 20 weeks 2 days, and will be 20 weeks 4 days when we go for our ultrasound, and I’m hoping that seeing it again will give me the reassurance I need for a good long while. Our doctors have been super understanding and supportive and have let me come in to hear baby whenever I need to. I have only taken advantage of it once, last week actually, but it was worth it to calm my nerves for another week. 
Hope it gets better for you!!
