Freaking myself out!

babyhope · Oct 28th, 2009, 21:05 PM

Sometimes I forget I am pregnant because I have no obvious baby belly...besides my fat

and I do stupid stuff, last week I dove into bed landing of course on my stomach, not thinking much of it, then I cramped a little bit and I though "OMG the baby!" But I had a scan yesterday and the baby was fine and very active! Well today I did the same thing

I was trying to put my fitted sheet on my queen size mattress and instead of crawling over the bed I took a mini dive to stretch it out and landed on my stomach! I felt some light cramping but it has went away now... but I am freaking myself out....I really don't want to hurt my baby, please tell me everything is ok, I don't feel bad or in pain I just keep having negative thoughts

I am overweight so I have a nice layer of fat (hopefully protection!) and I am barely 12 weeks pregnant, so everything should be ok right? Just need reassurance, I wont have another scan for two more weeks and I just love this little one so much already!

I'm sure everything will be fine. Even at 12 weeks the LO is still so small that I'm sure it has lots of protection around it in your uterus alone. I'm not an expert on this though......just my educated guess. I wouldn't make a habit of doing belly flops for the next 6 months though,

Don't worry... the baby is quite cushioned in there. But do try to be mindful and stop doing that. LOL
Unless you have heavy cramping and bleeding I wouldn't worry. Probably just some normal stretching that you are noticing more because you are paying close attention.

Yes i agree no more belly flops lol. Just be a bit more careful, like said already baby is cushioned well and as long as your not in lots of pain or bleeding things are ok.

Thanks ladies! I was praying all day yesterday, I have no cramping or bleeding so hopefully everything is fine! I have a scan in two weeks hopefully the baby is as bouncy as before, both mom and hubby want to go...I am not sure how the dr. is going to feel about that!
