Feeling anxious again. Reassurance needed!

[Baby Blue Eyes]

big hugs, pregnancy following a miscarriage can be hard. As previous posts have said the first moment is normally felt from 18 weeks on and with my ds I felt the first one about then but it was hit and miss for a couple of weeks until it was regular. your bub will be kicking and puching you soon enough and getting its feet caught up under your ribs. hang in there you are doing so great

One of my friends at work didn't start feeling the baby move to week 20 - when you finally do, you'll feel relieved.

Although don't sepect to feel it much at the start. I had to be lying still on my back. Keep your chin up...

I dont think i will ever stop worrying that baby is ok after m/c. I had a scan thursday last week and even now ive convinced myself something bad happened from then. But thats what i was like as i had early scan because i did actually have bleeding this pregnancy at 7 weeks but baby was fine. But now im sure it will happen again. Seriously id need a scan once a week to be certain all was ok and still wouldnt be enough!

Im just over 14weeks so no where near to movement stage, i think its bad because other symptoms start going now and then you start panicking that something happened!
sorry no reassurance but youre not alone!

Hi Devon,

I'm nearly 22 weeks and I still haven't recognised any feelings as he baby moving- I feel stretching feelings, and so on, but nothing I could say, oh, that's my baby moving.

I had a quick scan last week as I've been having bad headaches and puffy feet, but everything is ok. And 'it' was moving on screen and apart from the fact that I have a big bulbous belly (I'm quite short) there's no baby feeling.

So don't worry, I wasn't expecting to feel anything at all until 20 - 22 weeks, and my midwife said for your first baby that this is completely normal.

I've had a couple of Mc's too, I know what the checking your undies fear feels like, but it is very very very rare by the second trimester.

Relax and you will feel your little one in due time.

Oh jeez I thought it was only me, lol. I had a scan a week ago. Was so excited...for about 2 days. Then I started worrying, but what if I'm getting excited now and I'll just be dissapointed again because something has gone wrong since then? omg it's never ending. I'm always expecting to see blood too. Having a good day today and feeling positive, wonder how long it will last, lol.

You sound exactly like me... at the 12w U/S for DS I saw him do flips and look very much alive after having discovered my first one didn't make it at the 12w scan. Then about a week later I was actually quite angry at myself for having let myself get attached as I felt I was never going to become a Mum and something bad would happen. This time around I was scared up until the second scan. I have an anterior placenta too and only just started feeling regular movement in teh last week or so. Try to relax, and think positively! I know it's hard but after a heartbeat has eben detected on U/S the risk of miscarriage is very very low. Another option for you may be to hire adoppler, which could give you some reassurance.
