Ever since I found out that I was pregnant I was scared of having a miscarriage....once I got past the 3 months of the risk of having one, I was scared of still losing the baby. The doc says everything is fine so far, I mean I heard the heart-beat-I havnt had an ultrasound yet, (should be going sometime next week) I'm so scared everyday that Something will be wrong wtih my baby, Or something will happen and it will die.
If I don't feel it move for a day I get really scared about that too, I'm always thinking that it's not alive in there anymore... I cant get it out of my head that something might happen before its born.
This isn't my first child, I have a 5 year old son And i didnt have any problems giving birth to him, he turned out Normal...and I dont remember feeling this way when I was pregnant with him! So please? anyone else have these fears in their mind..Really wahts the chances of the baby dying while inside the womb. I hope someone can help me get over this fear.

buy or rent a foetal heart monitor (doppler) that will put your mind at rest. babies dont just die so stop worrying as this is bad for both of you. at 24 weeks your baby is viable and even now the doctors would do everything they could to save it if it were born early. at 30 weeks a baby born has a 95% of survival, every day you chance of miscarriage is lower and lower infact at the moment it is LESS THAN 1%! please dont worry.

My sister and I both miscarried last October when we were both about 7 weeks, and are now pregnant again. Because we miscarried, we've been scared out of our minds the whole time!! I know how easy it is to let your mind take over and give way to paranoia, but it's not good for you or your baby. If you've made it past the first 3 months, your baby will most likely be perfectly fine. Don't beat yourself up about being scared though, I think it's natural and part of being a protective mom. Just try to laugh at yourself once and awhile and don't let it get to you too much!! Congratulations!!

Well have you been trying to get pregnant for awhile? I also have a five year old little girl and have been trying to get pregnant.. I think when I get pregnant I might be the same way you are because I have wanted another one for so long.. but like other people have said just relax, you are in it now until you go into labor, and if the baby were in danger the doctor would know and they could induce you and with help the baby could live fine.. So just enjoy the last half of your pregnancy and start thinking of how great it will be to be a mom again.. Congrats..

Worring about your baby is completly normal. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I'm terrified I'm going to have a stillbirth. But the doctor says he's perfectly fine and I've had no complications in my pregnancy thus far. But I'm still worried.
The chances of your baby dieing in the womb are very little if you're having no complications in your pregnancy. Once you have an ultrasound and see you baby alive and well you'll, more than likely, feel a lot better.
Don't stress yourself out!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. REMEMBER TO STAY COOL!! Good Luck and God Bless!

Right now is not the time to worry! It's the time to relax, and understand that your body knows what to do without you even thinking about it.
At first, I worried about every twinge. However, someone told me that if I spent the whole time worrying about things I can't control, I couldn't enjoy my pregnancy!
So, relax. Your baby is fine. If you have heart it's heartbeat, and know it's in there moving around, she/he is okay and so are you!
It's perfectly normal to have these fears, but you'll feel a lot better if you can put those thoughts out of your mind and try to enjoy your impending blessing!

You need to relax. The more you stress about this, the more you ARE putting your child at risk!!
After 20 weeks, you're no longer in a miscarriage risk. At 21 weeks, a baby can live outside of the womb with assistance. At this point the only problem you have is going into preterm labor, which I highly doubt.
Take a deep breath and relax. Your baby is FINE. Trust the doctor and listen to your body.

Girl you are going to harm the baby buy worrying, worry brings stress and stress can harm the baby. The baby shares your emotions and feelings so if you always worried that's not healthy for the baby. Just eat healthy and drink plenty of water, you are a threat to your own baby calm down its OK. The doctor is professional and if he doesn't see, hear. or feel a problem there's nothing to worry about. Your first son was healthy and this one will be too! Relax!

I was wondering if you had a miscarriage...or close to someone who has? I felt that way after i had one...it is very scary. I am sorry you feel that way. I can not tell you that your baby is perfectly fine...i am not a doctor...all i can say, would you love HER any less is she wasn't? Anything can happen...just live day by day...do alot of calming things...take your son to the park...go on an adventure with him...explore. Again i am sorry you feel that way...hope all is well...you are in my prayers

confident certainly would be happening. That toddler is in there putting tension on you bladder. I even have that subject too, or if I cough stressful or sneeze. I positioned on panty liners lots of the time to help ward off customary panty differences. If it rather is greater effective than basically a bitty leak, surely positioned on a pad. they are in a position to capture so plenty greater effective than some human beings think of!

I think you're scared because you don't want your new baby being looked down to, compared to your older son. Its perfectly normal. Just Dont worry about it, dont have any accidents and you should be fine.
It sounds like youre a very careful person who wouldnt harm the baby.
It should be fine.
