worrying about baby development

Ftm and I feel like I worry about something being wrong with my baby all the time. Does this feeling stop eventually? I'm 18weeks and I'm very healthy so there isn't a reason the baby wouldn't be healthy, but I'm having a lot of anxiety about it. Do most moms get this too?

I'd go with its natural.. i have the same worries but my doctors keeps telling me that they have no reason to be concerned so I shouldn't either.. i just tell myself that if I don't trust my doctors then why am I going to them in the first place?? And of there is something different about my baby it won't impact how much I love him, I will just have to adjust to the situation and accept any struggles we might face. then make sure he never has to face those struggles alone.. telling myself that is not as much a comfort as it is acceptance that I cant predict the future and stressing about what I can't predict or change the possible outcome of, does me and my baby absolutely no good..

It's natural. I'm 16 weeks pregnant with baby #2, and I worried like that with my first. But, now, it's not as bad as first pregnancy, but I do think about it from time to time.
