Nerves

Today I am 12 weeks pregnant! About a week and a half ago, I had my first appointment with the new doctor. I told her how nervous I have been that I was going to get bad news that day so she said she would check for heartbeats. Sure enough-they were both there loud and clear! I cried almost as much as the day we found out it was twins.

Now I am back to being nervous again. I have not had any serious pregnancy symptoms and it makes me nervous. No nausea, no morning sickness, no headaches. Everything I have read says that the absence of symptoms is not an indication that it will not be a healthy pregnancy, but it is so hard to remember that when you just don't feel pregnant.

For the last five days, I have had some pretty bad cramping. The doctor said not to worry unless I start bleeding which I have not. I weighed myself this morning and have lost 1.5 pounds which just made me more nervous. Once again, I am nervous that at the next appointment, they will give us bad news.

We are almost out of the first trimester and shouldn't have to worry about miscarriage anymore. I just want to feel pregnant!!

Next appointment is June 3.
