I am 11w3d today and am slightly freaking out .... (had 3 miscarriages, so I'm scared)

I'm still TIRED as hell....have the occasional twinges, but my breasts only hurt when my youngest bumps into them when we cuddle.....

Is this normal that the symptoms go away at some point in time ???

I've had 2 kids already but I can't remember for the life of me how it was with them.....

(My next ultrasound isn't until the 29th)

What can I do next?

yes, that can be normal. you're nearing the end of the morning sickness stage and often that means a lessening of all the symptoms. i'd tell you not to worry, but I know that's not always easy. i always get concerned when the symptoms back off. But it's done it every time for me...and I'm on baby #5 now. so for me it's normal:-)

Take a deep breath and try to relax. Pregnancy symptoms ebb and flow and are different with every pregnancy. It is fairly common for some of the symptoms to subside as you near the second trimester. As long as you're not having signs of something bad going on, just imagine that your body is at ease with this pregnancy.

If you can't shake off the stress of not knowing,go see your doctor or midwife and see if they can get a listen of the baby's heartbeat with the dopler. My OB said my peace of mind was as valuable as anything he could do for me medically and once set me up on the fetal heart monitor for a half hour so I could relax. Great OB I had!!!!!

Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy.

In my experience, I had the initial pregnancy symptoms around 4-5 weeks and then they did go away for awhile. I remember being a little concerned as well because I didn't feel pregnant. This was the case with both of my pregnancies. I think that they may be able to hear the baby's heartbeat with a doppler at around 12-13 weeks, sometimes sooner or later. I'm sure everything is fine!

I remember feeling completely different right around week 12. I lost the queezy feeling and had an appetite again.

It is perfectly normal for pregnancy symptoms to stave off around 12 weeks... or even before. Your body is starting to adjust to the hormones and at this point, progesterone starts to level out.

I'm sure you are fine!

Congrats!!!

Every pregnancy is different.
With us we did IVF to get pregnant.
The tests were positive but I didn't feel pregnant at all.
It finally seemed real when we could hear a heartbeat.

With this pregnancy I really only had fatigue in the beginning. I did have a little bit of nausea here and there, but no breast tenderness at all. Each is different. Instead of worrying, which I know we do, enjoy not having other symptoms!

Did you have morning sickness at all? I think the boobs things is normal. Any issues up till now with this pregnancy?
I doubt it is anything. You are almost out of the first tri0mester and a lot of these issues resolve then or very early in the second.
I do understand your fears, but they have never helped anything. Call your doc monday. With your history I am sure they will be understanding.

Well I'm not going to say "I'm sure it's fine." because I'm not. I will say that if you're still tired as heck, that's a good sign. Because you've had three miscarriages (I've had four, so I know how nervewracking this is) I'm sure the doctor would be fine with having you checked, maybe do bloodwork to make sure your HCG levels are still rising. Or even do an extra ultrasound?
My last pregnancy everything was right on track with a healthy heartbeat and a due date, then all of a sudden - literally overnight - I wasn't tired, I wasn't sick, I felt totally back to "myself." The baby's had died and I started bleeding at the end of the week and had a D&C.
Yes, things may be just fine but you'll probably spend the rest of this preganancy on pins and needles anyway, and that's normal and ok. Yes, things may not be fine and you may have to endure the heartbreak again of losing another baby. Over a year later and I'm still not really over it, and we've chosen not to try again because I can't even begin to imagine losing another.
I guess you can try to mentally prepare for the worst but hope for the best. That may not be the happiest, most positive advice, but it seems for some that it's the reality.

It is normal, but I remember that being the most nerve-wracking time anyway. You stop feeling pregnant, but it's too soon to detect the heartbeat. You feel completely in the dark and powerless. I was always so happy when I could hear the heartbeat, then start feeling the baby move around. I could feel the baby moving earlier in the pregnancy each time. I think I was was just 15-16 weeks along with my third pregnancy when I could feel him. Best wishes!

I took about 5 pregnancy tests after I had been to the Dr and knew I was pregnant. I just didn't *feel* pregnant. For me everything was fine, but I totally get your worry.Call you doc and go in just to ease your mind...

Best of luck to you~

Can you see if your care provider will humor you with a blood test? Just go in for a quick draw on HCG levels?
