Pregnancy loss anxiety?

Question

Anyone else have this or know how best to cope. I’m almost 20 weeks and at every doc appt things look great! A few years ago I had had a missed miscarriage at what would have been 10 weeks. Since then I’ve heard and read so many stories of miscarriage and still birth I just can’t shake the fear! I want this little nugget in my tummy to just be ok. I know I need to think positive but I am in search of some tips!

Answer

I was so nervous right up until the end, just stay away from reading anything, keep yourself busy, and maybe get like a stethoscope to hear the baby's heart. I would try and do and think of things non pregnancy related and I waited a long time to get ready for her. I had my baby shower at 35 weeks... but it's just going to be something you feel. think of it as you're first motherly instincts and motherly worries for your baby. once they are out it continues and it's just something every mom needs to feel in order to take care of their kids

Answer

Have you started a registry or the nursery? I found actually getting stuff ready for the baby helped me a lot

Answer

Yessss work on the nursery and try and keep your mind occupied. I know it’s hard. I had a preterm delivery at 26+6 and lost one of our twins. Our son is 21m now and perfect. But i still have that fear.

Answer

have you talked to your Dr about your anxiety or tried seeing a counselor? they might be able to give you some coping/emotional tools.
