I Don't Feel Anything! Posted: 10-26-05 10:35am
I am enetering my 18th week in the next
couple of days and I don't feel anything.
My ultrasound is coming up and i'm very
much looking forward to the reassurance it
will offer me, but i'm also scared as hell
that something could be wrong. When does
this terrible anxiety end!?! Am I just
over reacting? Does anyone else feel
this way?

I am not as far along as you are but I am
also terrified that something has happened
to baby. I have heard it's normal to
worry about your baby's health. Many
women do (including myself)
i can't wait to have an ultrasound done so
that I can calm down a bit but also I am
scared and stressing out from now until
whenever it is that I will have that
done.
I feel little flutters in my stomach
sometimes when I am laying down for a bit.
Relax and lay down a bit and pay
attention to what is going on inside of
you with the baby, you might be able to
feel something.
I have read other posts where women have
suggested drinking a cold glass of water
or juice and then laying down for a while
and feeling the baby move.
I hope this helps a bit here.
I know how it feels to worry like this
i wish you the best!!!

Thank you, for your kind words. I have
thought I felt something, but i'm not sure
if it was the baby or not. I know I
shouldn't worry. I'll keep you posted.
Good luck to you as well. How far long
are you?

Try not to worry. I am 19 weeks. If it
weren't for the 3 ultrasounds i've had I
would still be worried. I have felt an
occassional kick, 2-3 different instances,
still nothing really regular. It's harder
for it to seem real when you haven't seen
your baby on the ultrasound screen. I'm
sure everything is fine.

I'm 20 weeks and have been feeling my baby
move for a couple of weeks now, he even
kicks, but not hard.
I think it all depends on how your body
is, you can't even tell i'm pregnant yet,
but yet his kicks feel so strong.

You usually feel the kicks or fluttering
when you are lying down or sitting down,
although give it a few more weeks and you
will feel something anywhere between 18
and 22 you should feel something for first
pregnancy.

Thank you, to all who responded.
Sometimes you just need that reassurance.
My ultrasound is nov. 7. I'll be back
then to let you know how the baby is
doing.

It's okay to overreact during preg or have
mood swing, or get anxious simetimes.
Don't worry. If this is your first preg,
it's okay that you haven't feel your baby
movings yet--you'll soon feel it.
