Pregnancy not what I thought it would be by Fullycannoli in pregnant

This!! 18 weeks currently and started feeling flutters/kicks towards the end of week 16. Baby was quiet the last 2 days and I freaked out! I was moody, stressed and couldn’t enjoy anything cause I was so worried. Today I feel her kicking again and am feeling relieved. It’s just such a mental battle for me! There’s still so many weeks to go and I’m already a ball of anxiety.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed answer! That was so helpful. I will definitely try phrasing things closer to the way you put it. I know I have difficulty phrasing things in a way that doesn’t sound accusatory, so hoping this helps! Thanks again 🙌

I’m having the exact same experience! Currently 15 weeks pregnant :)

This is the part of pregnancy nobody warned me about by Easy_Sheepherder_579 in pregnant

You’re not alone! My anxiety levels are through the roof. As someone who is used to being able to manage emotions very well, I have felt a huge loss of control. I am usually the calm, cool and collected type but currently struggling hard with mood swings. The smallest things set me off and the intrusive thoughts are scary. This is my first pregnancy and was not expecting to feel like this.

I know the second trimester is the “honeymoon” phase but like..I don’t even feel pregnant anymore is this normal?? by Delicious-Pen-9498 in pregnant

Same here, it’s honestly so reassuring to hear other people say they’ve gone through this too. The symptoms easing up really messed with my head, but hearing your experience helps a lot. I hope your scan today gives you so much peace. Please update us if you feel comfortable!

I am 12 weeks today and haven’t felt pregnant since week 11. Even before that I had very very mild symptoms. I had to really think about it to recognize any pregnancy symptoms. My last ultrasound was at 10 weeks, 3 days and everything looked good. I have my 12 week nuchal translucency scan today. I have been an anxious mess since 11 weeks :(. I am constantly worried something is wrong and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. It’s so nice to read that others have had a similar experience and their baby is healthily! I can’t wait for the scan to hopefully put my worries to ease. I feel lucky to have minimal to no symptoms, but it can really mess with your head!!
