Q: What do you do to relieve stress and anxiety about your pregnancy?

I thought I was doing really well so far trying not to worry about something going wrong with this pregnancy but today I'm a wreck. I want to talk to my husband about it but I don't want to worry him. I just really want everything to be okay.

All of you ladies are right and of course I do know I should not stress so much. It is very difficult but I've been coping a little better the last couple of days and hopefully I will continue to do so. I had a conversation with my husband and that was a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I should have never doubted his strength I just really didn't want him to be stressed too but he was really positive. I've also been telling myself that whatever happens will happen and it's in Gods hands. I know it may still get to me from time to time but we'll get through it no matter what.

Well the short answer from me is to "Let go and let God..." But actually it's totally normal to worry and hope your baby is going to be okay. It's whether or not it becomes all-consuming that you need to identify. I'm 17 weeks and I've been lucky enough to never have a miscarriage, but every time I wipe in the bathroom I'm always nervous that I'll see blood. I don't know why. But it's normal to worry; you gotta figure...you worry about the kids you already have every day, so it's only natural that you worry about this one too! Peace be with you.

We're in a similar boat. I'm 7w2d with our rainbow after experiencing two consecutive MMC's in 2013 and then a chemical in April of this year. It's hard, but I'm trying to focus on how this one feels different from the others, and also focus on the small victories I've gotten from the follow-up tests so far (ex. my HcG is doubling well, we saw the heartbeat of our LO last week...). I'm trying to take it day by day and enjoy my symptoms - even though they aren't very fun at the moment. Good luck! :)

Thank you ladies for your help. I will definitely try your suggestions, whatever I can do to ease my mind. As far as what exactly is bothering me I've had two late miscarriages this year and I have taken every possible test and still don't know why. I'm just afraid of going through it again. It's like I can't stop myself from constantly thinking. I do have an appointment coming up and my doctor is great as well so I know that will make it easier. I suppose in the meantime I'll have to keep myself occupied.

I feel this way, I have one child who's 7 but I've had 4 m/c's and 3 d&c surgeries in the last 12 months, so how I cope is I have amazing doctors who pretty much let me run my show due to my history, they do what ever I want so I don't stress or feel to much anxiety. So up until 6 weeks preg, I've had blood draws for HCG and progesterone 2-3 times a week then from 6w4d I've had weekly ultrasounds. I'm doing really well this time so far. But I'm still only 8 weeks but happy to have and see a HB of 157 at 7w4d next u/s on Friday and every Friday until 12 weeks, anyway this is my way of coping and I find it really good it gives me something to look forward to each week and it makes me more relaxed and not worry. Chat to your doctors and see how they can help you. x

Is there a particular issue that has you concerned? If so, you can try talking to your doctor/midwife about it, they may also be able to refer you to specialised groups that deal with some of the fears you are facing right now. If you have a close friend or family member, they may also be good people who would be willing to provide a shoulder to share your worries.

Finally, don't ever be afraid to talk about what is bothering you. If you aren't comfortable with speaking with any of the ones I've already mentioned, you could try looking through the message boards on this website or starting a topic where people with similar concerns can share with each other and provide support that way.

Hey Hun,
I had 3 back to back miscarriages before this pregnancy so I was a total and complete wreck for the first 20 or so weeks.. Settled down then but it's reared up again recently.
Try and focus on day by day if you can, keep yourself distracted (I buried myself in work). I literally burried my head in the sand as pretending it wasn't happening was easier than dealing with it of something went wrong. My gp was really supportive so she gave me lots of blood requests for beta levels until I was far enough for a scan to reassure me.. Then once I was far enough for scans I literally had one almost every week until 16 or so weeks..
