Why am I like this..?

Question

I’ve had 2 miscarriages before this pregnancy, I am now 15 weeks. Everything has looked good & baby girl moves around every ultrasound. But why do I keep thinking about stillbirth. Why do I always think something bad is going to happen to this baby. It drives me insane & makes me really sad. Is it something I can talk to my OB about? I’m just so scared for that to happen, this is the longest I’ve been pregnant & im so in love with this baby already. If something happened I don’t know what I would do. 
What is the cause of stillbirth? Who is more prone to it? Does it happen a lot? What can I do more to prevent it? Can I ask my OB to make sure I’m okay? If the baby is okay? I hate this 😔

Answer

I think it’s something we all think about. Once I got through my first Trimester still birth is my biggest fear and I’m 30 weeks. I don’t think I’ll ease up until my little girl is born screaming and healthy.

Answer

I honestly think we’re all like this, once I hit 25 weeks that’s all I could think about. I was terrified

Answer

I had the same issue. I had 2 miscarriages and had a hard time not being a ball of anxiety with this one. I did breathe a sigh of relief until I felt him moving regularly so I knew he was okay. It’s normal to feel that way after a loss. If you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, definitely talk to your OB. They might be able to refer you to some counseling or if you want, medication.

Answer

I’m sorry you are feeling this way and I can do relate. I’m also 15 weeks with my rainbow and I’m terrified. My negativity is bumming out my partner as well. I think it’s probably normal for any woman to stress, especially after loss. Good luck and I wish you a healthy pregnancy xx

Answer

We all have fears. I am about 20 weeks now and was just referred to a fetal medicine doctor because one of my genetic tests came back inconclusive (not high risk, just didn’t have any data). It is super stressful and everything has been fine so far otherwise. You just have to try to stay calm and trust that your body is doing everything it needs for the baby.

I had a late miscarriage in feb i was 16 weeks and 4 days when i lost my son im pregnant now with my rainbow baby im due feb of 2020 my obgyn told me i will worry because what ive gone through but the chances are alot lower after so many weeks i still freak out cause i was far along but that was my 3rd miscarriage not in a row tho

Answer

I am 9 weeks with baby #2 and think about things like that all the time. Honestly it’s worse this time around because I understand what it’s like to have my heart living outside my body now. If you think it’s becoming too much for you I’d def mention it to your doctor. But it’s not uncommon to think these things or feel that way. Being a mom is the toughest job and the worry never ends! Only gets worse when they actually are here 🙈
