How did you feel when you hit 12 weeks?

[DaisyMai]

Hiya all,

Thought i would try my luck posting here as not had any feeback in Tri 1.

I hit the 12 weeks at the weekend and have started to feel better and of course im now worried! Last week was the worst ever for feeling sick/ been sick but now its eased.Just getting the horrible stomach acid and struggling to eat tea as usual.
Also had bit of brown discharge.I had 2 episodes of spotting earlier in pregnancy which scans showed all ok.The last scan at 10 +3, he said the bleed was due to some of placenta dying off (which is normal).Im hoping the brown discharge is some of that left over and brought on by things stretching!
Got scan 12 week 2moro and am petrified!

Would be nice to hear about others experiences.

Thanks

The majority of my symptoms had eased by 12 weeks really and it was such a relief to have the 12 week scan and see that there was actually something there!

Enjoy your scan tomoro

I was feeling pretty rough at 12 weeks but it eased a bit later - but most people seem to say they felt better around this time - I think the placenta takes over producing hormones, or something, around this time, and apparently that usually makes the worst of the early pregnancy symptoms go away? So what you're feeling sounds totally normal. Good luck with your scan and hopefully once you've seen baby you'll be able to relax and enjoy feeling better! xx

I was starting to feel a lot better by 12 weeks - not 100% brilliant but better than I was. By last week (16 weeks) every symptom had stopped apart from me having a really snotty nose! It does make you worry a bit but honestly I'm just grateful to be able to put in a proper day at work, be awake long enough to have a conversation and a meal with my husband in the evenings and want to eat food!

I think every woman on this forum has been worried before their 12 week scan (and all the other scans - I'm worrying about the next one now!), perfectly normal! Good luck.

Hello Daisy!

I started to feel better just after 12 weeks. Now the nausea has gone - I was lucky in that I was never actually sick, but the nausea and indigestion was horrible.

Now I am getting a few headaches, but the acidity has definitely got better. I am sleeping much better too.

I was very scared before the scan, but it was lovely seeing the heart beat again. I had a scan at 11 weeks due to bleeding so I had already seeen the heartbeat and it was the most amazing experience ever.

It felt a bit like time stood still for first trimester, but I can feel things speeding up now. As well as my appetite returning. I can see that half stone I lost in the first 12 weeks creeping back on and more now!

I don't show at all yet so I am still finding the whole experience a bit surreal.

Oh and it's probably a bit late, but congratulations!

I'm barely through week 12, but I can tell you that I hit that 12 week mark and almost immediately started to feel better! I'm still tired on occasion, and some foods I still won't eat but the all-day nausea is gone

Good luck at your scan! I'll bet everything is just fine

 

[DaisyMai]

Hey,

Thanks for your reassurance.

I will keep you posted.

I have had an incredibly symptom-less non eventful pregnancy. I also was knowingly naive and I spent the majority of my early pregnancy just presuming I was having a girl, and having a healthy girl at that. Turns out that I was right!

Occasionally I would feel confused over other peoples pregnancy experiences as I never had morning sickness, much in the way of sore breasts, cramping or mood swings or crazy cravings or anything really, I still feel completely normal... and then as my pregnancy progressed I had a small concern over my lack of a bump (which is still bothering me slightly now) but for maybe a few seconds before my 12 week scan did I feel fear and I shut my eyes when the sonographer was scanning my belly. Never felt anything like it, complete love I was just surprised more than anything else that I had this tiny kicking baby inside of me and I had nurtured this life myself! I had the same feeling when I had my 20 week scan and I have my 28 week scan soon and I am sure I will get the same feeling of "wow!!...Look what I made!"
