Overwhelmed!

Yes that’s exactly it, I’m in such an odd place my sickness has almost gone and I have to wait until my 20 week scan which I don’t understand as they are classing me as high risk. The only way I will get another scan is if I pay which I can’t really afford to do until at least a month away. I’m just trying to get on with it but it’s extremely hard. Like you said, I feel as if I’m not even pregnant, I’m chunky too so I’m not showing either.
I’m sorry to hear about your losses too ❤️
Hopefully we will start feeling movement in another couple of weeks or so. I think that will be really comforting. My SIL and cousins wife are pregnant and they started feeling definite movement around the 17 week mark.
My niece has also said the same, but then of course i worry that I’ll get to 17 weeks and feel nothing and panic more 😅 I need a scanner for myself at home I’m sure that’s the only way I’d feel relief haha. The only symptom I’m having is extreme fatigue so I’m hanging on to that to help me think everything must be okay.
I have also lost a couple of little angels previously and got through my first pregnancy using a doppler between scans so I could hear baby’s heartbeat. Mixed feelings about them because it can sometimes be difficult to find baby but if you’re patient and do research on how/where to find baby it should help. Bought mine from Amazon a few years ago x
I hear you. Pregnancy after loss brings its own challenges. I also have fatigue and hanging on to it (though now I’m having some good days as well as bad days so that could be fading too)
I went for a couple of private scans. It put my mind at ease being able to see the baby move etc. I’ll prob go for one more before week 20 just to keep my nerves at ease. I highly recommend it!
@Candice I really want to try a Doppler I might get myself one. Family members are warning me against them though incase I can’t find the heartbeat. @A.R. It sounds like we are in really similar circumstances, If you ever need to chat I’m here ❤️ we can worry together haha. @Natty I just wish I could afford loads of them haha, would definitely help.
Pregnancy after loss is really tough sending love. I am also very anxious too and thankfully my last pregnancy resulted in my rainbow baby but I’m still terrified this time around. I found the book pregnancy after loss by Zoe Clark Coates really helpful. It has daily information instead of weekly and lots of positive stories after loss and quotes. I’d definitely reccomend it if you think it might help xx
@Emily thank you, I’ll have a look at it 😊
Hi I’m so sorry for all your losses. You have had a really tough road no wonder you feel overwhelmed and anxious. X I had a couple of losses last year and also finding this period post the 12 week scan a bit weird as I’m feeling less “pregnant” as the nausea has passed but I can’t feel movement from the baby yet. So totally understand your feelings. I have a doctors appointment at 16 weeks and he will do a quick scan on his (very old) machine so I’m hanging on to that. Is your care with an obstetrician, if so is there any chance you will have another scan before the 20 week one? Or can you book a private scan?
