scared.

Is it completely normal that when you see or hear anything about someone losing their baby at the same week you are or losing their baby at all , that it completely terrifies you and makes you feel like it could be you next. I'm really not trying to be a victim here or anything and losing a child has to be the hardest thing. But is it wrong of me to think like this?!

It's normal to worry, to a degree. But don't borrow trouble. Statistics are on your side at this point.

There are times it gets to me too, but I bought a Doppler at that helps to put my mind at ease.

I have the same feelings!

Kyklingborg · August 2014

I'm 10 weeks and 3 days. And go in to get the baby measured tomorrow. Do they always measure the baby?!

I have been so worried about everything throughout this pregnancy. I have 2 prior losses, so every ultrasound is an ordeal. I am getting better with each passing week tho.

jmszmidt · August 2014

Yes they always measure
At least they have with mine
I still check every time I go potty to make sure I don't see anything scary but for me I have had 4 miscarriages
But doc doesn't seam worried about baby anymore so I'm getting better

Are there a lot of women out there, who have had a successful first pregnancy?

umbcpt · August 2014

I had a successful first pregnancy @kyklingborg

And a successful second, and hoping for a successful third.

I keep everyone in my prayers who has endured a loss. It hurts my heart.

The worry is normal but don't stress yourself because every pregnancy is different. Comparing pregnancies or pregnancy problems is like comparing thumbprints, they may look similar but they're unique to you.

I haven't been feeling pregnant and all night I've had a big fear of losing this baby. I have severe anxiety and severe panic disorder so idk if I should call the Dr or not. ugh. you're not alone

The worry is normal. I've had two miscarriages. But my first, third, and fifth pregnancies all seem to be successful. Current (5th) lo is 14 weeks today and growing strong and healthy as of Thursday. For me, I've always felt that something was wrong when my pregnancies resulted in losses. Trust your instincts if you get a concerning symptom, but otherwise try and relax and let your body do its bit.

I had a successful first pregnancy and so far have had a successful second one. The first time around I didn't worry much about a loss. Somehow it seemed like a slim possibility.

Since then, I have had two friends and family members go through late miscarriages after having a great first pregnancy. I also started looking at my BMB much sooner this time so I didn't see all the losses last time. This time it has been on my mind much more and will probably continue to be because of the friends who lost their babies so late. I guess ignorance is bliss in this case.

Kyklingborg · August 2014

Thank you everyone. And @easton2131, I too have an anxiety disorder and suffer from panic attacks

Stop worrying about the what ifs, it's not worth it. Worry when there is something to worry about. Just try to enjoy being pregnant. You don't want to look back and recall how you spent your whole pregnancy in fear.

Personally, I got pregnant the first month of trying both times, never spotted or had any issues, and had an 8 hr labour. This time around I keep thinking about and waiting for something bad to happen bc I can't be this lucky. But some people are and I can't worry about things I can't control.
