Scared ....

mummy2B

I am pregnant for the first time and couldnt be happier , but I am terribly afraid of having a miscarriage . I dont think I am emotionally stable for something like that ,, as of no i am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant and I thought after my first trimester I would feel more secure that the baby is alright and i will carry to full term but , ive noticed I dont feel sick or naseous I simply dont feel pregnant at all. I have a sonogram appt in 13 days and I am praying to god that I see a healthy baby with a strong heart beat. I am so scared I dont know what to do .

Positive thoughts mommy, positive thoughts! Your passed 3 months so your risk of miscarriage have gone down. Now once you pass 20 weeks for the most part your in the clear. I'm sure your baby is fine and is growing and has a strong heart beat. Just stay positive and don't think about the negative things so much cause they will make you go crazy.

I completely understand. We all are like that. I know I was terrified of miscarrying when I was early on in my pregnancy. Every little pain had me shook. Even now that I'm 29 weeks, I'm still scared. We all want healthy happy babies. I'll continue to stay positive though and I hope you are too!

I know exactly how you feel, at each appointment I am terrified there won't be a heartbeat or something like that....from weeks 13-19 I hardly felt pregnant at all, my first trimester issues basically went away, no belly yet and so on...then the belly pops out and you start feeling flutters and then the worries lessen...hang in there sweetie, enjoy your ultrasound and seeing your little one!!!!

thanks . Im trying to stay calm and positive . my family is so excited about the baby , my fiance shows pictures of the baby to complete strangers even lol. it would devastate me to lose her before we even have her... I know once I do hear her heart beat again and the doctors tell me she is alright i will be okay . sometimes I feel like I dont have anyone to talk to that wont judge my questions or concerns , thats why I really appreciate ppl like yourself for helping me

I remember feeling that way during my first trimester. Just try not to stress out about it and continue taking care of yourself/baby. Before you know it you'll start feeling flutters which will always be reassuring.:)

I am an awful worrier so if you ever need to vent or freak out, just let it out! I'm right there with you my hubby calls me a catastrophic thinker, always imagining the worst. We all worry but I try to keep busy...hugs to you @mummy2B! >:D<
