so paranoid

Im kinda freaking out. Im 16 weeks today and i just dont feel pregnant anymore.... i had my last scan at 12 weeks and everything was fine but for some reason im just worried......i dont feel anything and sometimes i feel like my belly is smaller but my husband says its just all in my head ..... its ***** to wait so long for the next ultrasound. .. is there anyway to know that everthing is fine without a doppler or ultrasound.... this is probably silly but i cant help being paranoid. . Bah!

It's normal for your symptoms to ease or go away completely after the first trimester!  If ur super worried,  u could always schedule an elective ultrasound.   Ours does same day appointments and a "quick peek" normal ultrasound just to see the little one moving around was listed at 45 dollars.  There is probably a similar place near you.  Also,  I felt just like you do before, so these feelings are normal.  I work in a Dr's office and do my own ultrasounds when I'm worried! Hahaha. Good luck mama!

lol I know what you mean!!!! I've said those EXACT words, "it seems to good to be true." AND "I just don't feel like I deserve such a blessing."

BUT guess what, we do.. we were given this gift. the fact is, we're scared because we know anything can happen.. and it can. we just have to have faith and keep praying.. again, I saw our baby boy just 2 days ago, and I'm praying just as hard today as I was then. we're just good mommy's, that's all!!

you don't have long at all, just keep the faith, and you'll see your sweet miracle soon!!!! keep us updated, and I'll add you as a friend!!! (((:

ohhh you sound just like me.. before our elective scan to determine the gender at 17w6d I was the same way b/c my last ultrasound before that was at 13w6d. I had an OB appointment too this past thursday, but I didn't make it by the time we got done with our gender scan at another place..

anyways, I'm 18w1d now & everything is perfectly fine. eventually you reach what they call the "honeymoon" phase.. symptoms sort of fade away, you get a break from the stretching/growing pains, etc.

chances are you're probably just fine too!!! the best thing to do is continue taking your vitamins, eat right, drink plenty of water, and you'll have reassurance soon that your baby is okay! we all worry, we just saw our baby boy 2 days ago & I STILL worry.. you just have to try & not stress. I don't know your faith, but prayer works for me! (((: good luck & keep us updated!! ❤

You can go to your locate prenatal clinic like a Planned Parenthood. They typically do free ultrasounds.

I know exactly how you feel...I am 16+5, and up until last wednesday, which was my appt, I was totally paranoid. I had lost a lot of my pregnancy symptoms, and no movement yet, but I heard the heartbeat, and felt much better. Your shrinking belly might just be that you were bloated, then lost the bloat? I wish I knew of another way to check if baby is fine, cause I would be doing it every 5 mins...lol. Good luck mama!

Can you call the Dr office and talk to the nurse? Tell her your concerns, maybe they can get you in sooner for a check to help calm your nerves.
