Questions & Answers

Just wanted to say I too know the feeling. I have had a missed miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy and 2 early miscarriages. I am currently 15 weeks and still worry every day. I purchased a fetal Doppler monitor and that has really helped. I can hear my little ones heart beat when ever I feel anxious and it really calms my nerves. I personally like the Angel Sounds Doppler monitor. I was able to hear the heart beat at 14 weeks. I hope you find some peace.

I just tell myself "what will be will be" and there is nothing you can do to change it. So there is no point worrying.

I can say that I am in the same boat as you. I had a MC at 13 weeks last year in May. I assumed all was ok with that until the morning on memorial day when it was obvious something was wrong. This time I worry everyday that something might go wrong but feeling the baby inside kicking and punching away makes me feel some relief. I find myself infatuated with the movement of the baby that when there is no movement, I panic. This is my 3rd pregnancy and from what the doctors say is that Im skinny so that is why I am able to feel movements as early as 15 weeks (actually 10w but 15w the movements were consistent). It is hard to relax and me saying just "relax" is not going to help. Just know that every appointment you have with the docs and hearing the heartbeat on the doppler, everything is going to be ok. I go for my anatomy scan next week on the 30th which I am anxious for but you must remember, it is out of our hands. Have faith that everything happens for a reason. Feel GooD!

I understand I was in the same boat as you. I've had previous losses and this pregnancy I was so worried leading up to my 20 week appointment. I was so scared, because I finally had my baby what if something was wrong at the anatomy scan. I didnt do the nt because those results wouldnt have mattered to me any way so it was the waiting game. Then there he was perfect, measuring ahead. All of his limbs,organs, fingers, toes and his beautiful heartbeat. It wasnt until after the appointment I was able to breathe. Its easy to say to just relax, but I would rather tell you to just live in the moment. I let my fear cripple me for so long this pregnancy and to me finally going to this appointment while I was scared, it was a relief. I knew then that everything was okay.

Feel free to PM me if you feel you're having a bad day, it can help to have someone to talk to who understands what some think is unnecessary worrying. X

With my son i hardly fretted at all but I too discovered i had had a missed miscarriage last year at our 12 week scan, in fact the anniversary is in two days time.
I have worried, panicked and fretted all the way through this pregnancy even though I'm at 29wks and I'm pretty sure I'll still be freaking out once she is born.
It's only natural and i don't think anything but time will help, I try not to Google instead I either question on here or read one of the baby books as there are no horror stories to hide the facts about what you really should be worried about. (I don't always follow that advice and it airways ebbs up frightening ne) I also double question myself and ask 'am i really concerned' and after a few moments of quiet breathing the answer is normally 'no this is all normal'.
I also find keeping myself busy with preparing, getting excited, making lists and enjoying/embracing this pregnancy helped a lot in the start when all I wanted to do was not get attached.

I completely understand how you are feeling. Just relax as best you can and enjoy today and try hard not to think about the negatives or what ifs. If everything is fine, then keep that in mind and remind yourself that when you start feeling worried. I've been there too with losing a previous pregnancy, so I totally understand how you feel and know some days it's hard to keep the worry away.
