Irrational Fear

[heatherrk81]

I've been prego 6x including this pregnancy (1 live birth/adoption, 4 miscarriages with no heartbeat found, and this one 20weeks).  I keep having this fear I won't carry to term. All my appointments are good, just did the gender/measurements - all good. Yet, I keep worrying one day it's gonna change and end. Like this is too good to be true for me that I'm actually gonna be a mom, somethings gotta go wrong. Does anyone have this issue too?! I feel crazy.

No your not the only one luv. My first and second pregnancy went well and then last year I lost a baby. I thought I was 11wks but baby's heart beat stop at 8wks. I'm now expecting again 16wks along and I'm just constantly worried. Ive had a scare already.  I try and tell myself to relax but its difficult to believe things are going well. I'm blessed to have two beautiful children but a lose of a baby changes future pregnancies. So your not crazy its human nature. Goos luck with everything xx

Don't feel crazy, anxiety is a normal part of pregnancy. When I first found out I was pregnant I freaked cuz I had drank quite a bit and taken nyquil just days before finding out, but I was able to relax about that. My fear now is that I'll be one of those women who happen s to miscarry at the 12 weeks mark, right after I tell everyone
