Heavy Anxiety

Anyone else really struggling. This is a pregnancy after loss but I had an EPAU scan at 6 weeks, private at 8, private at 11, EPAU at 12 weeks and my NHS at 13 + 5… I’m now 15 + 4 (I think, they moved my dates at my dating scan and now I’m not sure) but even with these scans and reassurance I feel on edge everyday waiting for someone to happen. Sickness has settled which I should be happy about and instead I am just really anxious. I have a private scan next weekend but honestly can’t afford these private scans but it’s the only thing that helps for a few days 😔

I literally feel like I wrote this post. I totally get it. We had multiple losses before this pregnancy. I find that a scan gives me a reassurance for all of 4/5 days and then I’m needing another. My sickness has also settled in the last few days and despite the feeling being great, it hasn’t helped the anxiety levels. Can you feel baby yet? I feel like that will really help once we can feel those movements. I’m a little bit behind timing wise so thinking I will book another private scan before my 20 week. Just wanted to let you know that you’re most definitely not alone in this feeling x

Early labor??

I’ve been having pretty consistent contractions all day. I think their contractions because I can time them and they’re very painful at times. Rn it’s about 4 min apart and they’ve been like that all day. I’m going to the er soon but I don’t want them to tell me it’s been Braxton hicks this whole time. I can’t even sleep and I started to become nauseous towards the end of the day. Any tips for how to navigate this?

30 weeks pregnant, more muted movements?

I am 30 weeks pregnant, first time momma. I have noticed today that my baby boy has moved/kicked but it feels super muted and like it is more towards my cervix/my back. Has he just moved into a weird position or should I be concerned?
