How do you stop?

Question

How do you stop worrying that something is wrong with your baby? I just had my 20 week ultrasound and everything was perfect. She was higher than average in everything and the technician kept talking about how beautiful and perfect she was. I just can't stop worrying. Everyday a million things run through my mind on what could go wrong. I can't relax. I'm constantly freaking out.

Answer

My dr once told me (when I was super worried and losing a lot of weight) that the baby will get its nutrients first and then you. So even if your sick or not feeling well if your baby is healthy it will remain to get what it needs before you do. Our bodies are amazing and acrifice everything for the health of our little ones. That always gives me peace of mind.

Answer

I don't think you can ever make it stop.  Even if they invented a pocket ultrasound machine you would still worry if everything is okay and normal.  I have my anatomy scan Friday morning and to be honest I am terrified.  Even though my last scan everything was perfect and baby was measuring 4 days ahead in growth. The Doppler I got has been helping because as long as babys heart is beating im happy.  And im starting to feel tons of movement so that's been helping too.   I try to take everyday and breath and think positive thoughts.  I eat well( for the most part) I take my vitamins and I tell myself I'm doing everything I possibly can to make sure baby is good.  Try to trust in your baby and your body.   And try not to read or whatch any horror stories about things going wrong, it just makes things ten times worse.

I wish I could say there was a trick to not worrying but this is my 5th baby and I still worry about baby. I can say the further along you get the worry gets easier but it doesn't fully go away.

Answer

His movements keep me from worrying. I've been feeling him daily for a couple weeks now. (I'm just over 20 weeks) and those little kicks keep me from worrying about him. 
If you aren't feeling your baby move yet, I totally understand the angst! But once those kicks can be felt, you feel so much better!

Answer

I have the same problem!!! I spent the first 12 weeks fully prepared to go into the DR and not have a baby anymore. Now I'm paranoid because I haven't had an US since 10 1/2 weeks. I am both excited and terrified for my 20 week scan on Tuesday

Answer

I feel the same way, the worst is when I read things online about bad things, I would like to find a way to stop
Thinking about that I don't want to atract bad thoughts
