Answer 1

Get used to the constant worrying. It's normal, and it's going to keep going. Welcome to Mommy-hood.

Answer 2

If you've had no problems so far, chances are you'll be fine. What must do is:
1. Follow the doctor's instructions at all stages, and do all the necessary checks he tells you.
2. Don't eat any meat that is not very well cooked. This is important, because this is how toxoplasmosis is transfered, and from cats.
3. By the way, have a test for toxoplasma.
4. Keep all the hygiene measures.
5. Don't get tired or anxious, but don't lie in bed all day either unless the doctor tells you to.
Good luck.

Answer 3

NO......you can't enjoy your pregnancy if you worry about this so much. You are far enough along now that there should be no worries about this. If you are healthy and your doctor has no concerns, then your little guy is just fine. This is a very precious and delightful thing to go through but if you worry so much, that's not good. It's stressful. However, it is very normal to worry, that will never stop! But that's SO normal for moms. I have four little ones and I worry all the time. But RELAX and enjoy this pregnancy. Good luck to you. Congratulations and welcome to mommyhood!! It is truly a gift from above. :)

Are you kidding? After our son was born I was still worried. After he was a year old I cooled off quite a bit. Though every so often when I peek in on my son (now 18 months) if he seems too still I still put a hand on his back to make sure he's still alive an breathing. I'm not really the pessimistic type, either. I think worry just comes with the territory. Of course, having so many losses around you probably doesn't help any.

Answer 5

Of course it's normal to feel that way. if you know you aren't doing anything wrong and your doctor doesn't see anything wrong you should forget about those fears and focus on enjoying your pregnancy. It's a great time in a woman's life. I loved when I was pregnant I wish I was again, but I can't I had to tie my tubes 'cause I had three c-section deliveries and it was a bit dangerous to have one more. Have fun and go shopping and prepare for a wonderful coming home for your beautiful baby. good luck and congrats

Answer 6

It's absolutely normal. I was terribly paranoid with my first. Your baby should be kicking by now, take time to set up a kick-timing schedule, so that you know what time of day your baby is active. Knowing what to look for as far as movement is concerned will not only be useful if something should go wrong, but it will also provide you with the daily reassurance you need to get you from appointment to appointment. Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 8

I think this is very normal. I am 39 weeks and it took me a while (about 7 months) to realize that everything was alright. So stop worrying yourself and everything will be okay! It's part of being pregnant! Best wishes and good luck!

Answer 9

it seem normal your just a protective mother like every other mother in the world. CONGRATULATIONS on your new baby! However you should stop stressing you will apply to much pressure on your baby and cause problems. Don't forget God is the one who sent you the baby and if he easily take him back that does not mean that you could have done something to stop it things happen for a reason not just because.

Answer 10

I think it is very normal. i am 13 weeks and i worry that it may happen to me almost everyday! i think the best way to deal with this fear is to talk about what your excited about and what you will look forward too. it is a normal thought from a female... its our nature to worry about our child. just remember to stay healthy and do the things that are best for the baby because your baby's first home is your belly!

Answer 11

i worried a little, i remember feeling relieved when i hit 32 weeks. just because they do pretty well after that. but my sister is a NICU nurse and they save babies as early as 22weeks.

just keep doing things right and take no extra risks and try not to worry too much about it. just remember, any stress will affect you too.

its normal to worry. and you never stop. my son is seven months and i think about his saftey first all the time. its just a mom thing and it sounds like you are going to be a great one. CONGRATULATIONS!

i am very sorry to hear about your friends losses. i think its very normal to see someone go through that to worry about your own. just hang in there!
