I’m just shy of 11 weeks pregnant with my second baby. The first being 7.5 months old. So very close pregnancies.... I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and everything was good - strong heartbeat, looked good.

I’m having a high amount of anxiety because I just don’t FEEL pregnant. Like, I’m worried that I lost the baby and I just don’t know it. I’ve never experienced any cramping or vaginal bleeding - or anything that would definitely alert me to a miscarriage. At 11 weeks so soon after my last pregnancy I would have imagined I’d be “showing” by now, but mostly I just feel like a chunky flub and that it’s not baby weight.

The only things I’m experiencing really is nausea if I don’t eat frequently enough, and being tired ALL the time. I’m also so irritable, but that could also be attributed to the fact that I’ve been working from home for a couple weeks now due to this coronavirus pandemic - and I’m sleep deprived and it’s near impossible to work at home with a 7.5 month old that only wants momma right now 😒 oh and don’t forget the circa late 1990s, early 2000s acne I’ve been graced with.

My next appointment isn’t until June for the anatomy scan - so it makes me nervous that I won’t have the reassurance from the doctors office with the Doppler hearing baby’s heart beat. I was never successful at home with personal Doppler...

Some support and reassurance and positive thoughts for this worried momma would be greatly appreciated.
