Rainbow mamas to be....do you feel this too?

Question

I’ve been cautiously optimistic but generally (extremely) happy about carrying this little miracle rainbow girl. Now that I’m feeling her very often and she’s looking like an actual baby (we are 16 weeks) BOOM I get hit with panic, and I’m starting to feel just depressed for no reason. I don’t want to be sad, I want to celebrate her but I feel like I’m getting to the point where maybe I’m attached now and it’s freaking me out?
I don’t know but this is just such a terrible feeling and I hope I’m not alone, because I feel alone right now.

Answer

I’m stupid happy.. but feel really detached.
With the pregnancy that I lost, I was always touching my stomach and talking to the baby.. that hasn’t happened yet with this pregnancy. 
I’m hoping that once I have a proper bump and my husband can feel the baby move it’ll help me let my guard down.

Answer

This is exactly how I feel. 18 weeks and still haven’t told anyone other than my husband that I’m pregnant. I’m too afraid to lose another after 2 losses in the past year. My anatomy scan is Monday at almost 19 weeks and I am terrified of something being wrong. I can feel my rainbow girl everyday and I’m so scared something will happen to her😭

Answer

I 💯 % understand. I’m currently 17w but I’ve had two losses in the past. I still have that feeling like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop... don’t get me wrong I’m thrilled to be pregnant but I can’t shake the sense of worry.

Answer

Yeah... I have a really rare condition were there is a 80%-100% recurrence rate. I have had 3 stillborns. I am at a higher risk at late second trimester and third trimester so the further I get along the more scary it becomes. I have great doctors and I’m monitored as high risk every 3 weeks. I’m excited but just can’t face telling people! Only my husband and my best friend (who I work with so she can keep an eye on me!!) know but remember I am a really rare case (less than 500 people have been diagnosed with this around the world!!) when your in second trimester it’s really really rare to have a loss so if I was you I wouldn’t stress as it’s like less than 1% so don’t over think it!!

Answer

I am 15 weeks and a couple days. We lost our baby in July at 16 weeks last year. I too feel so happy somedays and other days I feel sad and think of the worst case scenario. It’s absolutely scary to feel happy and joy when you know how quickly it can all be taken away from you.. I get it. I hope things get easier for you.

Answer

I think this is a normal, I’m 15 weeks now had 4 previous losses that have been so difficult to get over. If you ever can! I obviously feel happy and excited etc. But there’s a sense of not saying much about my pregnancy even though people notice and talk to me. Every question is when are you going to announce, I feel I don’t want to publicly announce my other pregnancies all meant so much to me and I couldn’t announce them so why should I now. Not sure if this is normal to feel this way. Hopefully the more movements and after 20w scan we will feel more reassured

Answer

I am so attached and obsessed with my little bean. I always overthink everything involving this pregnancy.
