I don't know why, but I have this bad feeling that I can't shake. DH is talking about announcing, we had originally talked about New Years or DS's bday, but I can't bring myself to do it. I had 2 days in a row where I couldn't find the HB on the Doppler, so I put it away because it wasn't helping my anxiety levels. I have an OB appointment on Thursday and I'm really nervous it'll be bad news.
bepandnick ((hugs)) I'm sorry you have a bad feeling! How many weeks are you?
I know it is normal not to find the heartbeat. Can you try drinking a glass of orange juice or eating something sugary and then trying again? That helped me when I couldn't find it.
I'm doing alright. I've had some not-so-pleasant symptoms in the last week, which is making me really uncomfortable. But it does keep my mind somewhat at ease. I just can't wait to start feeling regular movement.

I'm 11+6. I tried eating something sugary the second day before using the Doppler and it didn't help. And my ute tips backwards, and my OB couldn't find the HB at 13w with DS but everything was fine. So there are logical reasons I couldn't find it but I'm having trouble focusing on them. I think it's a combo of upcoming EDD from my Jan17 MMC and the fact that everything was great until the MMC was discovered. It's like I can't trust anything. 😔

I can't wait for movement. Maybe that will calm my brain!

bepandnick, sorry you're having a tough time. The anxiety can be crushing at times.
So I went to my Reiki appointment last week. We talked a lot about positive energy and visualization. I've been focusing my visualizations on the baby being here and DS being a big brother. One of the strongest visualizations I have is DS holding the baby for the first time and he's got this big shit eating grin on his face. That image is so strong in my mind - I really connect with it. Then the other one I really connect with is doing my Christmas card picture. I'm going to dress DS and the baby up as snowmen and the baby will get a carrot to hold for it's nose. It seems really cute in my mind, will probably be a disaster in real life.
I also had my OB appointment. I felt good enough after that to go and buy some maternity pants for work.

I've been having some anxiety and it's messing up my headspace. Right now it's manifesting into some scary thoughts, and that doesn't happen often so I'm trying to push them away.
I'm really looking forward to Wednesday, where I'll hopefully have my last appointment with the RE. See the baby, and hopefully start weening off of these meds. My wallet can't take it anymore.

bepandnick, I'm sorry you're feeling like something's wrong. I hope your OB appointment comes with good news and eases your fears.
MissSally, sorry for the crazy symptoms. I want to feel movement as well!
AmazingTulip, I was tease arching Reikis in my area when I was in the thick of IF treatments. None of them stood out to me though. I'm huge on visualization as well. It's been hard to picture life with baby for me, because I desperately want to move. So I can't picture the new house/surroundings.
Hugs to those having anxiety, it really sucks. bepandnick, I hope Thursday comes quickly for you and you get reassurance at your appt that all is well.
I've been having more anxiety as we announce to more people and things become more "real." I am starting to show a bit and am going to buy some maternity clothes today and while that is all fun, it also makes me nervous.

Ms is gone and has been for over a week. Ending at 8 weeks seems early and makes me really nervous. I'm worried that it stopped growing again and I won't find out until my NT scan this time.

I had that feeling with my last pregnancy and didn't announce until 19 weeks. I kept saying "after this appointment I will" and just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I just turned 12 weeks and the last few days it's taken me a lot longer to find the heartbeat. I was finding fairly easily but it's taking me a while now.
I'm feeling some cramping after waking up from a nap and it's totally freaking me out. It isn't terrible or anything, but it's enough to worry me. Is cramping normal at 14 weeks?!
Well I freaked myself out further by not finding the heartbeat on the Doppler, so I took a hot shower and ate some ice cream and found it the second I placed the Doppler on my stomach the second time. Whew. Still not sure about the cramping. But baby squish is ok!
Thanks ladies! I just hadn't had any for a few weeks so it took me by surprise. I'm actually wondering if it had something to do with the constipation. It's been really bad in the last week and a half.

Hugs everyone. My nausea has switched from being the worst during the day to being the worst after 5pm. I'm hoping that means it will go away soon. I'm out of places to do my PIO but luckily baby measured 10w5d at the U/S this morning so I get to graduate next week and stop the shots. Not having a weekly ultrasound is definitely going to ramp up my anxiety.

ldubhawksfan, I'm glad the spotting has stopped! That is always scary, even when you know it can be totally normal.
Thanks. I spoke too soon because I've had some mild cramping and more spotting. It is brownish pink, so I don't think bad, but I don't know. It's just going to be a long 2 weeks.

I'm sorry. I know it's never easy! I hope your next two weeks fly by.

I went to the bathroom and had some red so I called my dr and they wanted me to come in right away. I'm in the waiting room now.
