Terrified of birth defects

Silvia

Early in the pregnancy I was constantly scared of having a miscarriage but now as I enter the second trimester, I can’t stop obsessing over birth defects! Specifically those that aren’t compatible with life (such as anencephaly). I guess that’s because I know I’d love the child no matter what, but there’s only so much you can do when the defect is fatal. I’m 14w1d and I’ve only had one ultrasound, so that doesn’t help. Any one else feeling similar?
