Paranoia in 4Th Pregnancy

There are only 2 kinds of pregnant women - worried pregnant women and very worried pregnant women. I don't know if it is hormonal or what but I have yet to meet a pregnant friend (and I include myself in this) who doesn't spend a reasonable amount of pregnancy time with some worry - it may range from the vague sense of unease or watchful wondering to high stress. So yes you are normal. the good news is that 11 weeks is passed the most frequent times for miscarriage. I think it is down to less than 5% at your stage. Try not to dwell on it and don't allow anyone to tell you "the scary stories" etc. Enjoy the children you have and think warm thoughts for #3. In no time, baby will be here :)

I'm on my second pregnancy, and at 11 weeks I felt nothing except tired. No movement, no fetal heart beat, not even much weight gain. I barely knew I was pregnant. There were times when I worked myself up to believe that the baby wasn't in there anymore, but I just had to trust that she was. You'll get through it, and start feeling more confident soon. I didn't feel this baby move until 18 weeks!

When I was 11 weeks pregnant with my twins I definitely felt fluttering now & then. I found out early that we were having twins, and my own doctor told me it probably wasn't baby movement that I felt, but honest to God I was SURE it was despite anyone telling me anything different. I've since heard of other moms who have felt movement early even with just one baby, especially when they've had more than one previous pregnancy. Also, as my twin pregnancy progressed into the 2nd trimester, the fluttering and movements I felt were VERY different (alien like - haha) than when I was pregnant with my single baby. Rest easy & hang in there. You're not crazy. Listen to your body and enjoy your precious kids.

At 11 weeks I felt... nothing. BUT we could hear a heartbeat on the doppler! That was very reassuring to me. Sit tight - you'll hear that great little sound at your next appointment I bet, and then you'll feel better :)
