Does the anxiety ever go away?

Question

Baby had a strong heart beat of 174bpm at my first 8w3d ultrasound. Had my midwife appointment on Monday and she used a Doppler and again, we heard baby’s heart beat!  
I’m 12w today and I’m still so anxious. I just want my lil bean to stay snug and healthy 😭

Answer

I really wish Glow let you share clickable links, but this link is a site that shows that statistically, your pregnancy is MUCH MORE likely to have a happy ending than not. Having miscarried before, I seriously looked at it all the time weeks 6-10 to reassure myself! The further along you are, the better the odds, and they improve everyday! I’m one for numbers and data, so this helped me. At the end of the day though, you got this and you’re def not alone in worrying like a mom. After all, you are one!

Answer

I don’t know if it’s because I’m an anxious person to begin with but with my daughter (first pregnancy) I thought I would feel better after the first appt then it became “oh I’ll feel better once we hit 12wks” then it was using my Doppler to hear her because I couldn’t feel her until 24wks due to anterior placenta.. then I would worry because I hadn’t felt her in awhile. The pressure and anxiety melted away when I had her in my arms crying. My advice, easily said but hard to do, relax and trust that Gods got this. He’s already planned every detail about your pregnancy, baby, birth and that baby’s whole life ❤️ Whenever I feel the anxiety creep in, I don’t pick up my Doppler- I pray first. That’s what helps me
