Did it make you nervous when your symptoms started to fade?

Well I'm almost 12 weeks and for the last week my symptoms have been going away. Aside from the flu I've been feeling much better. My breasts don't hurt at all and the morning sickness is going away. I read a post from a woman who said there were a few weeks around the end of the first trimester and the begining of the second where she just didn't feel pregnant anymore. I understand it's probably normal, but still I can't help being a little paranoid.

I liked my symptoms because it made me feel pregnant. I guess I still have mood swings and constipation to look forward to ;-)

I rented a doppler from belly beats for a month it should be here tomorrow. I plan on keeping it until I start to feel the baby kick, who knows maybe after my 12 week appointment I'll be feeling better.

Did anyone else go through this type of transition where you didn't feel pregnant for awhile? I'd love to hear about it. Oh and no offence, but I'm not looking for horror stories. I've had a m/c before and I try not to think about what can go wrong, instead focusing on the hope that everything will work out fine.

Thanks!

Mine stopped for like a week, and I felt great! Then they came back, and the sickness lasted a few days, and now I'm back to kinda feeling sick to my stomach, but I didn't throw up this morning. I'm 14 wks. 1 day. I wouldn't worry about it one bit, everything I've read says that things should start easing up. I'd be really thankful! I'd love to go back to last week when I felt great the entire time! I've had a miscarriage too, so I know how nerve wracking it can be. The odds of something happening after a heartbeat are so slim that I really just try not to worry!

mine just stopped about a week ago - i didn't worry at all - just celebrated with all my fav foods =) enjoy it...pretty soon you'll have all kinds of other pregnancy related symptoms (having to pee constantly, aching hips, etc)...once the doppler gets there you'll feel much better being able to hear your babies heartbeat whenever you want!

I have been worried about everything throughout this whole pregnancy.  Around 11 weeks I woke up and NO symptoms...which was really weird since I was throwing up everyday.  So I got my books out (I have tons of pregnancy books) and they all said that this is the week where the symptoms start to fade.  Don't worry, by the next day I was sick again.  Then it went from more good days and some bad.  I am 18 weeks now and every couple weeks still have a bad day here and there.  I learned to enjoy the good times and remember, there are so many different pregnancy symptoms that will come as the weeks pass.  

I am now just waiting for my baby to kick or something. Now I am just worried sick about the baby being healthy at the 20 week appointment.  I guess there is just never an end to this worry, especially if you have had a m/c or trouble in the past with a pregnancy.  
So, don't worry, you are not alone!
