Fear

[Brunette_21]

Any one else feel terrified they wil go to early or something is going to go wrong xx hate to say it but I've hated this pregnancy xx constantly on edge not put any weight on and feeling sick alot xxx

I think its normal to feel a little paranoid, I think this time around im old and more aware of things that can go wrong.

Last time I was one of the first to have children. Now many of the people I know in day to day life have miscarried, had premature births or even still births. Children who are disabled in various ways etc. Which i think makes you more aware as its closer to home.

I wouldnt worry about not having put on weight yet. However maybe mention your concerns to your midwife if they are preying on your mind

Yeh I said to her last appointment x my appointments are so far apart aswell I know second pregnancy is very different to first. My nephew was born 15 weeks early and weirdly that made me more anxious. Think I'll feel better after 25 week is past xx

I feel the same sometimes. Im 17wks and dont see the midwife again til 28wks so ages away. Iv had 2 losses (blighted ovum at 12wk scan and a chemical at 5 wks) so worry but I know im past the 12wk stage and know the baby is healthy and fine. I have a doppler at home that I use to check the heartbeat if I worry, just to hear and put my mind at rest. Im starting to feel some nudges from the baby which is amazing. Once you start to feel movements you should feel "safer" On the weight front - my bmi was 34 at booking and id already lost 6lb between bfp and booking and am 2lbs under my booking weight right now. If you're a higher bmi you usually gain less weight (i gained 28lbs with both my boys with a bmi of 30 and this time I want to keep between 10-20lbs ideally 14-16lbs)

I think worrying is completely natural, especially if you've had losses yourself or are aware of risks from those close to you.

Two of my friends have had still births and I have had a second trimester loss. I feel super aware of things that can happen and am constantly terrified, particularly of the 20 week scan as this is where things went wrong for us last time. I've also had a bleed this pregnancy at 14 weeks (currently 15+4).

I think the best thing is taking the pregnancy a day at a time, I have to remind myself that right now, at this moment I have no reason to think anything is wrong with my baby, ultimately worrying won't help baby and unfortunately what will be will be which sucks.

Good luck xx

I think it's completely natural. I didn't worry as much with with first two but two losses before this one have left me really paranoid, even at 25 weeks

I've bee worrying lots ever since this kidney infection started December...I wish I was 40 weeks tomorrow.
In the first trimester I had to worry about a hematoma and bleeding.

 

[Brunette_21]

I ended up in hospital in 1st trimester with severe dehydration so that and what happened to sister in law is making things horrible and every where you go has different statistics on survival rate. It's a feeling I have that I will go early xx

Completely normal and worry will never leave you again lol. My daughter is 11 months old And seems only yesterday i was scared off all the things from mc to early labour to needing forceps. Then when they are here you worry about other things. Its all part of becoming a mummy. Good luck and enjoy every moment because it goes so fast xxx
