Imposter syndrome?

I went through the same thing. I talked to my doctor about it and she told me “you will know if something is wrong.” I also got an at home doppler that helped ease my mind. An at home Doppler isn’t for everyone but this is what worked for me I got It off Amazon. I hope this helps (:

I totally understand! After going through IVF I've had trouble knowing if this is baby is going to stick around and being nervous. I use to wait just 2 weeks for a appt and now going a month is so difficult. Things my doctor has said that have helped is unless your cramping like a period or bleeding everything is okay. He just said also at my 16 week appt, it's not a matter of if your having this baby anymore it is when. I'm not showing much either and with no more nausea it's hard to know. You got this mama to be, we all have the same fears ❤️

Felt this so much with my first, and you’d think after going through it once and seeing that everything worked out, despite all my worries, a healthy baby was made, you’d think I’d be more trusting of the process with my second pregnancy, but nope! I still have these thoughts and feel the imposture syndrome so hard! I’m in denial most of the time that I’m actually pregnant. What helps me is knowing and trusting that my body knows exactly what to do to continue to provide a healthy environment for this baby to thrive, and your baby knows exactly what to do to continue to grow and develop. Also, soon enough you will be feeling kicks all the time, and they will get stronger and stronger and every time you start to worry, your baby will be there to remind you that he/she is there and getting stronger daily!!

I literally had breakdowns all last week because of the same issue. My little man had been moving (but not regularly and the movements were more like bubbles and ripples) and I haven’t seen him since August. I have my anatomy ultrasound on Wednesday and was losing my mind thinking something was wrong. I started asking all the moms I know when it started to feel “real” and the most common answer I got was never - not exactly comforting. I mean I’m definitely showing, but I have a super tiny frame so I even chalked my belly up to eating way more than usual. But, I finally saw his little foot for the first time last night when he kicked and I started crying for a totally different reason! He’s been kicking like that on and off all day today and I have to say @Josie is right - once they start kicking it gets stronger every day! I’ll be 19 weeks on Wednesday so 18w4d today. Your body is doing its thing and your fears are normal!Your little one will make his/her presence known soon! ❤️

Get you a Doppler from babyDoppler.com I had to get one and it helps me listen to baby’s heartbeat anytime I’m feeling this way. I hope that helps

I’m 19w3d and my last appt was when I was 13w2d… I totally get what you are feeling.. I just started feeling kicked last night for the first time.

I feel similar also I kinda feel like I’m faking it when I go out and look pregnant or tell people I’m pregnant it’s like it doesn’t feel real still.. or I’m just nervous something went wrong and I just can’t wait until my 20 week ultrasound 😭

I’m 17 weeks and feel this too! Haven’t seen him since week 8 (had a few real early Ultra sounds due to early loss) and I just want to know that he’s not a blob anymore. However, I got an at home Doppler and it’s getting easier and quicker to find his heart rate which helps me think he’s growing. I also finally just one stopped getting sick through the days. Haven’t gained much weight, not really showing, and don’t feel him yet. I’m so nervous for the 20 week appointment on Nov 1! The waiting game is so hard in the second trimester!

The baby Doppler is sooooo cool! If you can avoid getting obsessive over it, it’s a great way to bridge the gap between appointments!
