I know that worrying isn't good for the baby and I try so hard BUT this is my 8th pregnancy with only 1 living child. I lost my last baby at 20 weeks due to her umbilical cord being wrapped around her neck 3 times. The losses before her were all between 6-9 weeks due to low progesterone. I would go in to see my doctor and there would be no heartbeat, no other sighns of loss-No bleeding or cramping at all. Now they have addressed my hormone problem with my last and current pregnancy with progesterone which seems to have helped now that i'm 13 weeks but I still can't stop worrying that I have lost the baby again and I'm just not having any signs of it. I don't know what to do, I even wake up in the middle of the night thinking of it. Any ideas of how I can seetle myself down? I see my high risk OB every 2 weeks.

It would be completey abnormal for you to not worry at this stage of your pregnancy considering everything you have been through. Try to be positive and stay focused on doing all that you can to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. Tell your O.B. that you are really worried and ask if you can be seen weekly until you get past that critical 27th week! Good Luck.

Its going to be hard for you to settle down. Thats a lot of stress on you after having multiple problems with pregnancy. Im so sorry to hear of your losses. The best thing to do is to relax. Try to fill up your day the best you can to keep your mind from wondering and worrying. Try to spend time with friends and family and just try to enjoy your pregnancy. Everything will work out for the best. Maybe try to take up pregnancy yoga.. you can get a dvd off of Amazon for $5.. its very soothing and non strenuous and puts you in a more relaxed state. Good luck.

just try to relax and think logically: what happened to your last baby (I'm really sorry for your losses) was sort of an accident. If you compare with your previous medical history - you're already on the good path, passed the dangerous stage, and your doctors know what to do now. Sounds very promising. Really. Now you have to calm yourself down, and don't let anything happen because of your worries. I'm not saying you should stop worrying "just because", but really, all facts sound like this time everything will be good. Good luck .

ok, I have not lost children but I know the love you feel and losing a child let alone 7 would be heartbreaking. You have been through more than what most people go through in 2 lifetimes. I definitely have had my fair share of worries. My advise with worry is to pray. Pray all the time. Leave it in the hands of God. If you give it to Him you will see you will be able to think about the blessings in your life. Count them everyday. You may have lost but what have you gained? Everything has it's time and place on earth and in heaven. You will feel better. I know I feel better knowing that God is helping me. He helps me to keep my children and my husband and myself safe everyday. I am too small in this big scary world to do it myself. It's a great sense of relief to know I'm not alone. I hope this helps.

Pray and I will pray 4 you,it's hard for someone who has never been through what you've been through to say don't worry.I've been pregnant 5 times and I only have two children,any lost is difficult to deal with but when you become pregnant again you seem to worry if will lose another. I pray God will bless you with a healthy and happy baby.

I know it is easier saying it than actually being in your situation, but my best advice for you would be to live with hope and faith that this pg is gonna end in the birth of a beautiful child, instead of worrying about it. Dont put extra pressure/estress on a high risk pg as yours, take care of yourself and maybe find some activity that is soothing and relaxing for you, maybe some painting lessons, nitting (you could make your baby his first mittons)
Take care

Same as at any other time- exercise. You can still walk a bit and do loads of things. Walk for half an hour 5 times a week. It's good for the digestion and everything. Good luck new-mommy. I'm so happy for you.

You are not going to stop worring no matter how hard you try. Just try to enjoy being pregnant and pray. Know that God has a plan for everyone and everything is happening for a reason. Bless you.

DONT STRESS! Im sure you know stress is bad. You have been through some obstacles but at least youve overcome them. If youre meant to be a mommy again, then God will make you a mommy again. GOOD LUCK! (and wish me luck also because i made 9 months pregnant yesterday and im so terrified!)

Ok, 1st get your MIND off of it.
Spend plenty of time relaxing! Make a pregnancy journal, write letters or poems to your baby.
Concentrate on the nursery, set it up... you can do light cleaning if you feel up to it.
Take walks, listen to music you love, you could even meditate or do some pre-natal yoga to help soothe your mind.
Good luck!!
