Hi everyone. I need some sense knocked into me. Ill be 16 w tomorrow and im still terrified of having a miscarriage. This is my first pregnancy and i just want her here already so i can stop worrying. All my doctors apts have been fine im not high risk or anything just highly worried and anxious. When i tell all my family and friends im scared they tell me not to be stupid and im far enough along to not worry about it. Ive read the tragedys on here about women who miscarry at 25,28,33,36 weeks and im terrified of this happening to me. When did everyone stop worrying so much? Is there anything i can do to calm my nerves? Ik its not good to get all worked up like this i just cant help it. I dont know what id do if i lost my baby girl

It's normal to worry. The price of being a good mom. We'll worry for the rest of their sweet lives.  I'm 31 weeks. I went from worries about miscarriage to deformations to cord accident back to miscarriage and now it's still birth. When the thoughts enter my mind I make the leave as quick as possible without dwelling. I try to Picture my baby in my mind smiling and drooling.

I believe its completely normal to feel that way! But just remember what ever you feel your baby will for sure feel it as well. I had a miscarriage last year and it was so devastating for me and my husband. It broke me into pieces! I was 13 weeks when i lost my precious baby! When we decided to try it again i decided to leave it in Gods hands! Of course i was scared all the time but for my own good and my baby i kept telling myself everything was going to be fine. And know im 33 weeks with healthy pregnancy and super healthy baby! Dont stress it!

I think its normal too worry but not overthink it and let it consume your whole pregnancy... iam 38 weeks and i still get worry but i know that its not going to happen so i have to let it go as soon as the thought comes up

With my first child I used to dream that I was bleeding and having a miscarriage I worried about it all the time researched a while bunch of stuff and yet she came out healthy as could be.I'm now pregnant with my second with no worries. Its natural to worry but don't over do it I'm sure u and ur baby are very healthy.

The more you worry,the more you stress,and stressing cause miscarriages.So you have to stop worrying, God makes the final decisions.

I also feel the same way sometimes because ive heard people going all the way to 36,38, even 40 weeks and the baby out of nowhere just dies and its so sad. Ive had a miscarriage before this pregnancy i was 10 weeks when i lost the baby, im now 33 weeks and i still have that in my mind but i try not to worry about it because its not healthy for you or the baby, the baby feels what we feel and ill just start imagining holding him and feeding him how life would be when i finally have him in my arms. Its something that its always gonna be in ourt minds but we gotta stay positive for our lil ones, hope all you mommas a healthy pregnancy and have faith you will soon see your lil ones and hold him

I don't think that those worries never go away, I lost a baby at 14 weeks 2 years ago, and I got pregnant again last year, and even when I had the baby, I was scared, even day in my whole pregnancy, I was worried about something, and with this pregnancy is the same, I'm 9 weeks and I've been getting all the symptoms fine, but today I haven't feel any, so I'm kind of worry but not trying to think about it, so I can't tell u to stop because that's something that we can't help

I just had a miscarriage before this pregnancy. I am now 17 weeks along and everything has been perfect. I worry sometimes but the key is to stay calm and not stress or over think things. If you cause yourself too Much stress that can ultimately cause problems for you and baby. It's completely normal to worry, but unless you have a reason, don't stress or think about it to much.

If someone miscarried that far along, it's usually a bigger problem than just a miscarriage. I think everything will be fine :) Try not to stress even though I know its hard, I was the same exact way. Every time you worry about it, just think of what it will be like to hold your brand new baby. That always made me happy and not so worried.

I had two mc, the first Mc was said to be normal at 7wks...the second was at 10 wks, and this time round I wanted to  know what is causing the  miscarriages...they did a bunch of  tests and found out I didn't  produce enough progesterone  hormone to help with the growth until the  umbilical cord  could take over. I got pg again and was under hormone therapy during my first trisemester then the second I was off the meds. Was nervous at first but got better....the baby is full term now en she's determined to go over the due date--40 wks ftm....worry not, you are on the safe zone.
