is it normal that I feel this way ? looking for help and insight please

Question

So ladies I'm almost 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Lately I've been feeling worry and fear of loosing my baby after I fell in soo much love with him. Don't get me wrong thank God all went very well in my 20 week scan and they told me the baby is very happy and healthy but my dumb ass keeps coming upon these horror stories of moms losing their babies after 20 week mark and some even around due date I also heard the chances of that happening are rare but can someone just knock some sense into me I think that's what I need lol. Thanks ladies

Answer

It's normal, I think. I used to pray and pray that I wouldn't get into a car accident bc I was scared of losing my baby that way. As a new mom, you'll realize your whole way of thinking is different now. Nothing will matter for the rest of your life but your child's safety. As far as what you're going through now, we all can relate. Just breathe and try to focus on your baby getting here healthy and happy!! I'm sure everything will be just fine!!

Answer

girl the WORST thing u can do is google and read horror stories. like you said the chances are rare especially if you just had a scan and everything was good!!! i know its hard seeing as its your 1st baby. i was worried with my 1st too, Hell i was worried with all 3 of mine and this 1 as well. its human nature and the mother's instinct to worry about pur children. but stressing and worrying can do more harm to the baby. you are healthy, bab y is healthy, its time to relax. its ok to be pro active, just eat healthy, take care of yourself and RELAX!! take a nice warm bath, listen to some good music, watch a funny movie...do things u enjoy to keep ur mind busy. apend time with friends and family. they will keep your mind occupied. you made it this far, so u are doing great!! congrats on the pregnancy mama!💖💖💖

Answer

part of being a parent. my mom says its a parents job to worry. you will,probably always come up with SOMETHING. just try to relax. your baby is doing great.
