im EXTREAMLY paranoid about misscarrige is this normal?

Question

im only 14 weeks pregnant but soooo paranoid about losing my baby its constantly on my mind so much so i cant get excited about being pregnant !!!!!!!! help and advice wanted please !!

Answer 1

I didn't worry with my first child,I miscarried my second at 10 weeks, Which left me devastated so when i got pregnant with my third, I did worry up untill half way through when i relaxed then. It is normal to worry, but dont get over obsessed that you will lose the baby, if there's no indication yet you will probably be fine. The more you worry, the more stress you will have, which may lead to miscarriage. Relax and enjoy the fact that in 26 weeks time you will be holding your beautiful baby. Good luck.

Answer 2

I was with my first, didn't want to get too excited until the 'magic' 28 weeks and couldn't handle other people getting too excited for me.
I'm afraid I was exactly the same with my second pregnancy too, only now I'd quite like it to come any time from 35 weeks on!!
Don't beat yourself up about it.
Wear a panty liner so you don't freak every time you feel a bit of moisture down there either!!
I had a small bleed at 17 weeks and worried for a while. Ok, I was distraught!!! I then had light spotting at 31 weeks but didn't worry at all this time, because I knew it was fine and just due to cervical erosion etc.

You are 14 weeks now, so the chances of miscarriage are low and you are past the risky stage. But you still have a long way to go in this pregnancy, so you need to relax and trust your body. It's natural to worry about your baby, but stress during pregnancy isn't good for your pregnancy.

Go out and buy some cute little baby outfits - maybe that will make you more excited!

Answer 4

Yes sweetie,every women worries about miscarriage,but some more than others.Every women is different.But at 14 weeks I really think that you will be fine,so try not to worry so much now it is not good to put a lot of stress on the baby.Most Dr's tell you wait until you get past 12 weeks and you are past that point now,so start enjoying your pregnancy,soon you will have a healthy ,happy little bundle of joy,best wishes and good luck

Answer 5

perfectly normal, it is your baby, you will worry for the rest of your life but try to enjoy being pregnant. As soon as you start feeling kicks you will feel more secure. I was the same couldn't buy anything until I was 35 weeks in case I jinxed anything and now looking back I wish I had relaxed more and worried less, now I have a beautiful little boy who is perfectly fine. What will be will be so start enjoying. All the best

Answer 6

It's normal to worry about miscarrying, I've done nothing but worry since finding out I'm pregnant! But I must admit, after having my 12 week scan on friday and being told everything seems perfectly fine healthy and normal, and of course getting to the 12 week mark, I've relaxed slightly. They say the highest risk of miscarriage is in the first 12 weeks, now you are past that, please try not to worry. Easier said than done, I know, but just try to enjoy being pregnant. I think worrying about miscarrying is natures way of preparing us for the never ending worry thats to come once the baby's born!

Answer 7

I was exactly the same. My husband and I started trying and wanted to get pregnant first time and we did and I was convinced that something would go wrong because everything had happened so well! I spent my first 12 weeks really worrying but it acctually stops you enjoying your pregnancy. Try to relax and enjoy the fact that everything is obviously healthy, you have no need to think otherwise. Believe me pregnancy goes so quick enjoy it you are past the danger mark now

Answer 8

The likely hood of miscarriage dramatically drops after 12 weeks so keep that in mind.

I know it's difficult but if you're going to miscarry then you're going to miscarry. Just make sure you are doing everything you should be doing, getting exercise, good diet, resting and staying as stress free as possible and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Next time you see your midwife explain your anxieties, that's what she's there for.

Answer 10

yes, but be positive, the more positive you are the more positive your mind will be, try looking up baby site likes babygaga and other websites that are fun for pregnancy, and go to the store and look at all the little baby things, get excited, not down, as long as there's no unexpected bleeding and no bad cramps and you dr says your fine, your okay. Goodluck! think positive!! You'll know if somethings wrong with the pregnancy, my mom knew about all my siblings, don't think about it!
