feel scared and worried

[mummy2one]

Hi ladies,
Im 17 weeks 2 days and having/had very little to no symptoms I cant help but feel worried and the next 3 weeks till our 20 weeks scan feels like a lifetime
I havent had many symptoms through-out this pregnancy and every time I make it to a milestone (12 weeks, midwife etc) I hope to feel relief and I do for a few days then worry sets back in.
My partner is been as supportive as he can but doesnt understand my concerns and says I should just enjoy a nice easy pregnancy compared to our sons pregnancy (which I know hes right) been a plus size mummy isnt helping either as I have no bump so nothing reassuring me
To top it off I have a severe case of thrush (sorry tmi) and thats joined by bad period like pains once I used the pessary

Sorry for ranting ladies and thank you for reading

That's just the worst! But try not to worry too much. Even my doctor mentioned without prompting that a lot of women start to wonder if they're still pregnant after 12 weeks because symptoms can start to disappear. Lots of people will tell you you're lucky (me included!) but I know it can definitely cause some worry. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can really do until your scan. If you have any bleeding at all accompanied by those cramps, definitely go in and get checked. Other than that, I hope you feel some movement soon to help ease your worries!

I understand how you feel. I am so anxious over this pregnancy. My 20 week scan is tomorrow and I'm so scared! I had a missed miscarriage last year and it completely changed my outlook, every time I get to a milestone - 12 week scan, hearing the heartbeat at 16 weeks, I feel better for a few days and then I get scared again

I am feeling movement now and getting bigger which is reassuring, but now my brain is forever coming up with abnormalities that might be found at the scan

And I too also have thrush, and can't get in to see the flipping doctor until next Tuesday. Argh!

Good luck for today
My Dr's are really good but this bout of thrush is agonising

Me too. I'm so worried too. I also had a missed misscarriage recently and I just can't relax. I convinced my dh and midwife that I'd lost the baby at 12 weeks but then we found a heartbeat.
With my previous pregnancies I had severe sickness. This time my sickness had been bad but not as bad. Today I feel so much better at 14+1. Tonight I ate some food without vomiting and I feel ok. Aggghhh I'm panicking like crazy.

Sorry to rant on your post. I'm just crazy worried too. I have no bump either. I'm overweight too.

Hi hun I know how you feel don't worry about ranting we all need to sometimes x
I've spoken to Dr today as the cramps feel awful and my thrush isn't clearing but she just said if no blood not to worry that doesn't stop me worrying though
3 weeks can't come fast enough x

Big hugs mummy2one.
Sorry to hear your presarys are giving you cramps. I've had two treatments already without the itchiness. But it turns out it isn't thrush and I think I'm allergic to toilet paper. I've changed to a chemical free non bleached version and it seems to be working.

Pregnancy is such a tough time isn't it. We just constantly worry.

I see you have three losses too. That really doesn't help with the worry either. And if this is the first time you have carried this far then your body won't get that big bump yet. With dd I was in my own clothes until 22 weeks. and if you are plus size you won't put on as much weight.

Its furthest I have got since having my DS in 2007, fingers crossed it gets easier, I think with lack of symptoms Im just over thinking everything xx
