I don't know what's wrong with me. I was
fine when I woke up but for the last hour
i've been a mess. I decided I couldn't
wait for my appointment next wednesday so
I called to see if I could just go in to
hear the heartbeat and they ended up
moving my appointment up to today. I
cried while I was on the phone with the
nurse. Then I thought i'd pulled myself
together enough to call work to tell them
i'd be a little late and I ended up
bursting into tears the minute my boss
answered. I feel like such an fool but I
can't help it. I'm 17 weeks today and I
just don't really feel pregnant at all. I
know it's too early to really feel
movement, this being my first and all.
Did anyone else feel completely normal at
17 weeks? I don't look pregnant, I just
look fat. I've been feeling pretty good
lately too. I'm just freaking out,
hopefully over nothing. My appointment is
in an hour. Thank god I didn't have to
wait another week. Maybe the fact that
i'm acting so emotional is a good thing,
right?

Bridget, breath! You are not a basket
case, you are a mother and that is what is
causing this... It's normal. Called
hormones I do believe.
Everyone develops at different rates and
i'm sure everything wil be just fine.
With you and the baby - it shows you are
going to be a wonderfully caring and
compassionate mom, you just need to calm
down and wait to hear the heartbeat later
on - it'll all be fine.
Hugs girl, good luck - let us know. =)

Bridget, I felt just like that. Because I
couldn't feel mine move until 20+weeks,
and I was *barely* even showing at that
point and I didn't have morning sickness.
So I think everything is going to be just
fine. But hearing the heartbeat makes you
feel so much better. Hang in there chica!
Hey I know just how you feel. You
probably dont even know who I am but I
havent been on in a while. My computer
had been messed up and i've tried to get
on at work but for some dumb reason my
boss has almost every page blocked for
security purposes. Ne ways im 18 wks and
4 days pregnant today. And I dont feel
like it at all. I feel like crying for
anything also and I dont see myself preggo
but fat too. No one believes me that im
expecting and this is my second child so I
thought I would show sooner. My baby
though did start moving already so
he/she's the one that reminds me im
pregnant. Its ok calm down and if you
didnt have any morning sickness consider
your self lucky cause even though I didnt
have it either with either of my both
pregnancies I think it would be horrible.
Lets us know how u feeling later. Take
care

Don't worry, that's normal I was freaked
out all the time about whether or not he
was okay until I could feel him moving.

Amen...I think every pregnant women goes
through this paranoia phase. Every month
I would get terrified a couple days before
going to the .Dr because I swore the
baby's heartbeat wouldn't be able to be
found!! But sure enough, every month she
was fine!! The before I knew it I felt
her move!!! Then, after about 4 months of
having the hulk inside of me, I wanted her
to stop moving....Just for a couple of
minutes!!
I remember the day before I went into
labor I got freaked out because she wasn't
moving. I mean at all. Little did I know
she was being prepped for delivery!!!
I wish I was still pregnant....Wait...What
the hell am I saying!! I was incredibly
.H.U.G.E!! Good .God i'm glad she's
here!! I can't wait to see yalls
babies!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!
Well I was freaking out for nothing. He
found the heartbeat right away (155 bpm)
and we listened to it for what seemed like
5 minutes straight. It was such a relief
and now I feel semi-calm. I have my
ultrasound next week so I feel like I can
act like a normal person until then and
hopefully i'll start feeling movement
soon. I really wish i'd never had a
miscarriage, for the obvious reason but
also because I just can't relax and enjoy
being pregnant. But thank you all and I
feel so much better.
