Hi mommies. This is my third pregnancy and third baby. I'm almost 19 weeks and I randomly started having bad thoughts about loosing this baby.
I have had a easy going pregnancy and half the time I don't even remember that I am pregnant with two kids and very busy life. So I tend to forget or trying to be super woman thinking I'm okay and can do anything. I even end up going without eating if I'm too busy doing something or feeding the other babies. I take rest and by the end of the day I'm exhausted.
And now more and more I read about other loosing baby or finding out they miscarried or baby doesn't have heartbeat I get so scared. I'm sure some of you may feel this way. I feel baby moving now and I know it's not suppose to be so much yet so I forget when the last time I felt it move or felt flutters. It's crazy that finally this week I am actually feeling pregnant and finding my self having hard time to keep myself going constantly or catching breath or break in between things. Until now it was no breaks no relaxing or doing anything for myself.
Help. How do I get this fear out of me. Should I be worried? I have my ob visit on the 5th which will give us the heart beat again. The ultrasound was scheduled for 11th but I just pushed it back to 20th. How do I keep my patience till then.

Again sorry for posting at a wrong time and it's not just because I have been reading about others losses that I have this fear in me.i know god had his own plans for everyone. Not knowing what he has in plans for us is the biggest fear or challenge. I thank god everyday for getting me through another day and I pray that we all can turn our hopes into reality.
Today was a whole new day for me and I felt a lot better from the morning. I think that fear comes into mind when I am so overwhelmed and exhausted and at the end of the night I feel guilty for not taking care of myself and this new baby that is in the belly. I guess last night was one of those and scared me.
I do have a regular visit next Tuesday which will check for heartbeat. My 20 week ultra sound was scheduled for 11 but I pushed it back to the 20th so that my 4 year old son can come see the baby as this may be the last ultrasound as long as I'm healthy. He is super excited about the baby and think he will understand better now than when he saw my daughter in the belly.
Glad to hear you are feeling a little better. I will be praying for peace for you!
