Anxiety!!!!

I have has the worst anxiety about losing my baby!!! I have been so sick with ms and everything is been fine but I lay at night thinking I have lost the baby. Would there be signs if I have lost the baby? I don't know but I feel so bad that I feel this way. Nothing has ever happened to me so why do I keep thinking this.

Re: Anxiety!!!!

  • Deep breaths. You're in an anxiety spiral where you're just anxious about the fact that you're anxious. Everything is fine! It is unlikely you would lose the baby without something seeming amiss - symptoms dropping off, bleeding, something. I mean it's possible but very unlikely and not worth keeping yourself up at night because that's not helping.

    That said, I felt the same way with my last pregnancy. I would always be almost in tears from stress right before every appointment because I was so scared they wouldn't hear a heartbeat. I thought I'd feel better in the 2nd trimester, then I thought I'd feel better in the 3rd trimester, then I thought I'd feel better when she was born, but 12 months after she was born I was still going into her room and waking her up constantly with my "tests" to see if she was still breathing. Then she started going to daycare and I started going down to my car every half hour to make sure I hadn't forgotten her in the car alone to die and somehow missed her on all my other checks. And then I finally got treated for my peri-natal anxiety disorder. If it's messing with your life, talk to your doctor about getting help.

  • I already know I am going to be just like @Emztron500 was, I'm just naturally a very worrying person, I've always been one. I've had a few nights where I all out broke down sobbing because I was terrified that my 6 hours of blissful non-symptoms meant I had lost the baby. A few threads down there is a post about the odds of NOT having a miscarriage. I open that one up whenever I am feeling down and it really helps to see the high odds of a healthy pregnancy at this point.
  • Thanks girl! I'm glad I'm not alone or crazy!!! My husband is so wonderful and he gets me through a lot of it but today I just felt like reaching out to u guys!!!!! Hopefully it's better after my appointment next week!!! ❤️❤️❤️
