Bad feeling I can't shake!

Has anyone else ever had a bad feeling about a pregnancy they couldn't shake? And how did it turn out? I'm 8w1d, and since I found out (9-10dpo) I've had a bad feeling that I'm not going to have a baby, I don't know why, I don't know if it's because I found out so early, we tried for only 3 months, I don't feel pregnant, whatever. I just have a feeling I won't have a baby at the end of this. I haven't had any cramping, or bleeding, I heard the H/B, baby was measuring on track, I just cannot shake this feeling that I'm not pregnant, or my pregnancy is not progressing, and it's really upsetting me! I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm telling people I'm pregnant and I'm really not because I haven't even allowed myself to think about it all the way and get excited about having another because of this "bad feeling", any input?

I feel the same exact way .. I'm 10 weeks exactly and I have no morning sickness or anything. I feel like I'm never going to get bigger and I'm not even pregnant. Maybe if I just threw up once or something it'll make me feel better. But I don't wanna wish for that either ! Lol . Ugh, I just want to show or something.

Oh and, if I don't eat right as soon as I feel hungry, I feel starving, and my stomach starts to hurt and not want to eat, because I feel so hungry, if that makes sense, haha. I had food aversions but haven't too bad lately.

That's why I'm a little worried, I have very few symptoms, heartburn come and go, increase in CM, bloated uterus I can feel when I touch it, swollen, veiny breasts that feel sore after I take my bra off for the day, round ligament pain once in a while when I sneeze, that's about it. with DS I only got sick 2-3 times, so I didn't anticipate much for sickness this time, but I remember cramping quite a bit with him and have had minimal cramping this time, I don't know what to do about it, I know if I tell my OB I just have a "bad feeling" he isn't going to take me serious or check into anything, so I don't know what to do! :(

I felt like this with my previous pregnancy and now have an eleven month old :) its so normal to worry and I used to be convinced something bad would happen as I wanted a baby soooo badly. Human nature we've all felt like that. Don't worry yourself and enjoy your pregnancy cxxx

I've had it go both ways. I just had "that feeling" that something wasn't right with my first pregnancy and it turned out I was right. I had little to no symptoms but the symptoms I had just went away. I saw a heartbeat at 8 weeks, lost the pregnancy around 10 weeks and found out at my twelve week scan it had passed. When I got pregnant again 5 months later I had no symptoms at all. So I thought for sure I had lost that one too. I was just lucky and ended up having a healthy baby girl :)

Thanks ladies, I'm glad I'm not the only one, either way it's out of my hands, I can just hope everything turns out okay. DH is very optimistic, and it makes me feel better his always "you'll see everything will be okay" attitude. Thank god for him, or I'd drive myself insane!

My pregnancy wasn't planned but I felt the same way. I felt like when I told ppl I was pregnant that I was lien! It wasn't until I really started showing that it seemed real

Thank you! I'm so glad I'm not the only one, I feel so anxious all the time, and I know life will go on, either way, I just want to be able to get excited and believe it, and enjoy it! I don't really feel pregnant so maybe that's the problem, I have swollen breasts and a swollen uterus I can feel but I just can't shake this bad feeling, hopefully it leaves soon! :(

Hey hun... I think that you are over reacting because you found out so early.  I have the same feelings some times, especially since I haven't been to the doctor yet.  

Keep in mind that your hormones are all over the map right now, your motherly instincts have already kicked in with your unborn child.  You want the best for your little bean, we all do!  You have heard the heartbeat and seen him/her..... be proud of your pregnancy and don't let anything stand in the way of your excitement!  Everything is going to work out and in 31 weeks you will be holding your precious gift!!!
