Worries make

Hi,
I'm as. Monday 16 weeks but it seems like my belly is smaller, my breasts hardly hurt anymore and I finally don't have to rest because the tiredness is gone. This makes me insecure. In the beginning I was nauseous all the time and all pregnancy symptoms were so strong that I clearly was pregnant. I'm just a bit afraid that the baby is dead and that you don't notice it yourself. Would you be able to notice that somewhere? I'll be happy if I feel it daily but now I haven't felt anything yet. As. Thursday I have an amniocentesis. To prick they use an ultrasound so hopefully the heartbeat is correct and everything is fine. Do you recognize my story a bit?
Greetings Patricia

    Hi Patricia,
    It's normal that you get less sore breasts and feel less tired towards the end of the first trimester. That's because your body gets used to the other hormones.

    Why don't you just buy an Angel Sound so you can listen to the heartbeat? On MP you can get them anywhere for 10 to 15 euros. Then you'll be free of your worries right away!

    Love, Anke

    Hi Patricia, it's totally normal that you have less discomfort, because your body has gotten used to the hormones. But for me, I'm tired every day, and I didn't think that was normal either, but the doctor said it was definitely possible that you'd stay tired.
    And about the amniocentesis, I had it too. If you want to talk about it, let me know? It wouldn't worry me.
    Love, Tammi

    Hi,
    I can relate to your story and I understand that you want more reassurance. I wouldn’t recommend buying an angelsound. I did it too because I was feeling unsure, but I couldn’t hear anything! It just made me more anxious. My midwife advised me to come in for an extra visit to listen to the baby’s heartbeat. Maybe if you explain your story, you could just drop by in between appointments so you can hear your baby again!
    Everything will be okay. I’m almost 24 weeks now and only since last week have I been feeling the baby daily!
    Love,
    Rinske

    If you're feeling unsure, always go to the midwife. You'll most likely hear that everything's fine, and then you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy again. And as mentioned above, the second trimester is the best of the three. Less fatigue, fewer physical complaints . Enjoy it!

    Thanks for your replies! Both my amniocentesis and yesterday's 20-week ultrasound were good, and the little heart keeps beating every time despite the worries A few more weeks and I think I'll feel it daily.
