Anyone else still worry about everything?
I can't get over the fear that something is wrong with baby. I know there is like a 1 chance of miscarriage at this point in pregnancy and I try to stay positive but my mind keeps wondering to a dark place. Anyone else still worrying? How are you avoiding panicking?

Re: Anyone else still worry about everything?
I never stop worrying, I wont stop even after I deliver. After delivery you stop worrying about miscarriage but then the other worries set in. Did the baby eat enough? Make enough diapers? Is she going to be safe at school? Will she make the right choices in life. It never ends.
Welcome to motherhood and grey hair.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
Me too!! We bought a doppler this weekend because I went about 24-36 hours without feeling her (and I had felt her everyday last week). But the minute we ordered it, I felt her lol...we got the doppler today - took us 2 seconds and we found the heart beat and it was great!
But don't worry I am always worried as well!!! I keep saying once she arrives it will be better, but I know then I will have new worries...welcome to Parenthood...when you love something so much, you worry!
My doctor said don't be concerned if you don't feel baby everyday or even every other day until the 24th week. I know easier said than done to relax, but maybe that will help you alittle!
I still worry, but the above is very similar to what my mom told me. I told her I was worried about the fever I had a few weeks ago and that maybe it hurt the baby somehow. She didn't laugh at me, but said "you're fine, the baby's fine and welcome to motherhood - a lifetime of worry and guilt over every decision and event"
Guess it's just easier to accept that ASAP and move on!!
I waver constantly between being content and not worried to worried all the time. I also set deadlines based on each appointment...telling myself Ok after this appointment I'm going to feel so much more relief and won't worry as much It does work after the appointment for a few days but then I'm back to worrying/not worrying.
The other ladies are right...we will always find something to worry about even when baby is here and all grown up.

It's helped a whole lot since I've been feeling the baby move. It's very reassuring. Or a lot of gas ;-)
But I still worry a lot. Our a/s will hopefully give me a lot more reassurance, but until then, just trying not to overanalyze everything my body does and go with the flow.

As we getting closer and closer to viability, I become more and more terrified of pre-term labor or that my cervix is incompetent and that I will go into labor too early before they are able to save the babies. I'm being monitored once a week, so I am trying to not freak out every time I feel a sense of pressure down there and just be patient until I make it to my dr appointment.
It probably doesnt help that when I telework I watch all the baby delivery shows on discovery health and freak out if they talk about something bad happening.
I do still worry, but it's easier once you start feeling consistent kicks.. Then you have reminders all day long that baby is doing well.
Our first pg ended in a missed miscarriage, so when we got pg with DS1 I worried SO much about another miscarriage, but like i said, once you get further along and feeling kicks it provides some reassurance.
