[beccibump91]

Hi, is anyone else around 16 weeks and after morning sickness/ tiredness have gone away, seems to feel normal now? Am 16 weeks 4 days, havent had 16 week appointment yet as midwife cant fit me in til im 18+1 .. was told this was ok as all has been fine up to now .. but cant help feeling paranoid, have only just gone public with the whole 'being pregnant' news so thats not helping now everyone knows, but also had a huge arguement with family weekend before they found out and my mums now worried me because of stress etc .. had no bad symptoms i.e bleeding or bad adominal pains but still cant help but worry!! help! xx

I'm a bit further on that you. But at about 13/14 weeks i suddenly woke up one morning and rung my mum and was like i don't feel pregnant anymore. The morning sickness had stopped and at that point it was the only sign i had that i was still pregnant. I ended up taking a pregnancy test to reassure myself! lol.
If you've not had any bad symptoms chances are everything is fine, but i know what its like to worry!

No problem. Its the only thing that put my mind at ease inbetween appointments in the early stages! Now i have her kicks and thumps to reassure me!

I think a pregnancy test might not show not, least definitely not a cheap one! Just prior warning so you don't scare yourself I stopped feeling pregnant about a week ago...it lasted a week and is back with a vengeance today so it was obviously lulling me into a false sense of security I bet you're fine xx

Don't forget that between 12-14 weeks the placenta takes over so a lot of your symptoms will fade off - it's one of the reasons why the second tri is so nice. Taking a pregnancy test this far along is pointless - it might even come up negative - at around this point your HCG levels naturally drp off because your placenta is now sustaining your baby. Google HCG tables and it'll tell you all about it

Odds on everything is fine in there so unless you're experiencing severe abdominal cramps (I mean really really bad) and bleeding, all is well

Don't worry, be happy

My morning sickness left right after the 1st trimester and from there on I was symptom-free. You can't believe how worried I was for ages, but it's completely normal!!! I wasn't tired anymore, felt like going clubbing , worked my butt off, didn't have any noticeable movement, but no bleeding or other pain either. At 20 weeks + 5 days I then finally felt the first real baby thump, whereas others had felt their babies with like 14 weeks and that added to my worries.

Now I'm at 26 + 1 and guess what??? If it wouldn't be for her occasional kick or thumping, I'd still not feel pregnant. I am FINAAAALLY barely showing now and getting a little more tired again, but besides that I still worry about her well-being. Every time I go to the doctor/midwife I dread that they won't find the heartbeat or tell me something is wrong, but nope, she's a happy girl inside of me, just a little shy to push my belly out, telling others she's in there.

I guess it's left to say: welcome to the world of worried moms(to be)! You'll be worried from now on at least til your LO is grown up, but probably more towards until the day you die. I'm almost 25 now and my parents still worry, so I guess it stays, just changes into different worries when the LO's grow up. We'll have to figure out how to live with that worry.

As for now, I'm sure everything is fine with your bubs! Keep your head up high and enjoy the pregnancy as much as you can!

I agree - it's very normal. I felt exactly the same way. As soon as morning sickness went, I was more energised and felt great. I didn't feel what I imagined I should feel like.

By the time the tiredness kicks in with the 3rd tri, you'll wonder what on earth you were wanting to feel yucky for lol!

my severe morning sickness ended in the middle of week 16 for me. And I was HAPPY, there were moments where I didn't feel pregnant and I was going crazy wondering what's going on inside me, but just try as best as you can to remain positive.
