I'm not even sure why I'm posting except that I think writing this out will help me feel better:???: I feel like a very typical 1st time Mommy the last while... for the last 4 days (or a little more) I've been super worried about baby. I don't really know why except that I have been feeling very "un"pregnant. I was still having morning sickness up to just a few days ago. And it felt like overnight that got better. My stomach isn't hurting like it had been- as far as stretching and stuff. I did have a little bit of spotting the other day but that's been fairly normal for me so far this pregnancy. I did have a scare 3 weeks ago (I was bleeding and cramping) when I ended up going in for an ultrasound but everything was fine. I'm going in on Wednesday for a routine check-up. I'm thinking about seeing if I can get that changed to today or tomorrow just to put my mind to ease. I know if I could just hear "Jake's" heartbeat I would feel MUCH better about everything. I think its more the "lack" of what I'm feeling then anything. I haven't felt this good my whole pregnancy which has me worried...crazy I know[whatwacko]. I'm trying to give it all to Jesus...I know he'll carry me through no matter what! Thanks for listening to all of this:mrgreen:
Yeah, I think this is all pretty typical first time worries, hun! :) This is such a new experience for you, I remember how scary the first and second were for me~ :) It only gets better, gal~ Giving it to the Lord is a great place to start... and talking about it helps~ :)

I think it's especially hard when it's your first pregnancy, so you don't know what to expect, really, and I am sure having some of those symptoms have definitely not helped either. :???: I know for me, the lack of nausea was a little worrisome, although, I'm very thankful that it seems I must just be in that minority of people who do not experience it (one time in my life it actually feels good to be in the "minority"!). Now it's the lack of feeling movement, but hearing it at the doctor's office this week made me feel much better about it.
I know from day one, I have understood that at any moment, something could go wrong, so every time I have an appointment and hear the heartbeat it is a bit of a relief! Yes, keep giving it over to the Lord and trusting in Him and His plan for you and your family. You are exactly right, he will carry you through no matter what.

I completely understand!! The first time is scary/unknown but even the 3rd time I'm finding myself worrying about every little thing! Honestly, I think you're entering the 2nd trimester bliss period. This pregnancy for me has not exactly been fun in the 1st and 3rd trimesters but the 2nd was awesome! I truly felt un-pregnant (I mean in a good way, like it didn't slow me down) and didn't have sickness anymore or pain yet...
