Dealing With Anxiety After Losses?
Show your support
I lost my baby in 12 weeks. It was hard. I know how you feel. I'm not talking from my experience but friend of mine couldn't feel any kicks till 25th week. When I was pregnant 2nd time the I couldn't feel kicks as much as in my first one. Try to stay calm. I know it's hard.
I'm so sorry for your losses💔 This is my 5th pregnancy (I have 1 healthy baby) so I completely understand the anxiety. I'm 22 weeks and still only getting intermittent kicks. There's a lot of space for baby in there still so you won't feel it. Even second time mamas rarely feel consistent kicks before 20 weeks (and sometimes first time moms it's closer to 24-25 weeks). I'm doing my best to focus on the positive: baby is healthy so far. Cling to that and it maybe ask your doctor if you can get another ultrasound a little sooner to keep the anxiety in check. I get scans monthly because of my losses.
I’m on baby 4 and I’m barely feeling kicks at shy of 20 weeks Thursday.. but baby is dancing on the ultrasound
Thanks, everyone. I kind of thought I felt a little fluttering a couple of weeks ago, but I've felt absolutely nothing since, and it's making me so insanely anxious - especially since with the loss of this baby's twin, there were no symptoms at all, I just went in for my weekly ultrasound (we were working with a fertility clinic) and they found that the baby's heart had just stopped. I'm so terrified of that happening again; that might be why my nerves are ramping up so much too. It's only been a few weeks since the baby's heart rate was last checked, but I still feel like I should at least be feeling intermittent fluttering by now 😞
I only feel flutters here and there. Im 21 weeks. I see how active he is on ultrasound and I don’t feel it.
