FTM at 35.. anxious daily

I'm a first time mom at 35, 19 weeks along, I have been in hospital twice now for bleeding. Doc has said baby boy is healthy and growing normally.  Did any of you stress about losing the baby, worrying daily if something might go wrong? Everyone tells me to be positive all the time, I've grown to love this little one in me. I am suffering quite badly from lower back pain and down my legs. 1st trimester symptoms were hectic.  Just stuck with the leg and back pain now. I have not felt him move yet so that is also making me anxious.  Any advice?

I had my first baby at 36 and I had a period every month like clock work until I was 20 weeks. I rushed to the Er every time. I was told multiple times I was having a miscarriage but every time they did a ultra sound she was fine. So yes I worried the whole time but she came out healthy and happy at 36 weeks.

I didn't have it but I've seen many women on here who have had bleeding during pregnancy and baby turned out fine. You can take Tylenol for pain and just try to take it easy. I would say don't worry, but I know that easier said then done. I wish you the best.
