is it common in pregnancy to fear that I might lose the baby?

Question

Ladies...have any of you ever had constant fear that you might miscarry throughout your first trimester? I'm only 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant today and after reading all posts/articles about how common it is to have miscarriages during your first trimester I'm constantly worrying about it and skirting about how to prevent anything like that from happening.

Answer

No. I refuse to spend my last pregnancy anxiety ridden. 6 months ago we lost our baby girl at 23 weeks. I could easily be terrified this entire pregnancy but I refuse. I'm celebrating every milestone  (even the small ones), it also helps that I feel calm, I know the outcome of this pregnancy is out of my hands (unless I CHOSE to abort and I never would), so all I can do is stay calm, enjoy it and pray for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Answer
