Terrified

Hannah • Miracle baby born 2/21/2020

I have this fear that I’m not pregnant anymore. I’m 10 weeks + 5 days and we don’t go to the midwife until Monday. Like I’m so worried they won’t find a heart beat or the baby isn’t growing anymore or whatever.

Does anyone else feel like this too?

This is my first pregnancy after 9 years of infertility and I’m just terrified it’s not actually happening.

I was sooo worried about this before my 12 week appt. I cried the night before! I never had nausea, sore boobs, etc so I swore something was wrong. Then we had our appt Monday and all was great! Baby was moving around, kicking it’s legs, etc and had a strong heartbeat of 161. It’ll be okay!!!

I’m the same way... I think I’m going to purchase a fetal Doppler from target to check the heart beat from home to see if everything’s okay 🤷🏻‍♀️😊 I can’t stand waiting a month in between dr appointments😭

I think about this all the time too ❤️ The best thing you can do, whether baby is healthy or not, is find joy and happiness throughout your day. If everything is fine, you've unnecessarily produced a bunch of stress hormones. If things aren't okay, you need to give yourself tons of love and kindness... either way, laughter and tenderness is the best way to enjoy each day and sleep well at night. That's what I keep telling myself!
