Does the worry ever go away?

Ok, I know stress and worry is not good for anyone TTC or pregnant. I am just curious if the worry about loosing the baby ever goes away.

I am 6 weeks and 3 days. Still early on! This is third pregnancy in the past year. You all know I have lost two (one miscarriage, other ectopic). Now that I am pregnant I am just TERRIFIED of reliving either one of those things again. I know there are many that have had to go through multiple losses.

I go for my ultrasound with my RE on Friday to check for a heartbeat. I just keep thinking there is going to be no heartbeat, et****ep having little pains and think this is it, I am loosing it. I think part of it is I am trying to prepare myself for the worst. I just don't want to drive myself insane worrying. Maybe that is natural and we all worry even up to delivery. Then, once they are born we will worry about the child being safe, cared for, and etc.

The worry never stops...at least it hasn't for me.  Once you have the baby then you are worried about whether you are doing everything right.  If you are being a good mother....and so on.

I kind of figured the worry is always there.

The worry subsides a little bit after the dreaded first trimester...I was soo worried about miscarriage becuase I had trouble concieving prior to my surgery...but freqeunt ultrasounds helped, hopefully because of your previous experiences you will have more ultrasounds this first trimester

Just remember that you will feel like preiod cramps, subtle ones, in the first trimester becuase they body is changing....I feel all kinds of pulls and pushes still at almost 18 weeks!

GOOD LUCK FRIDAY

I guess I would breath and actually believe I might have a child if I got to the second trimester. With the first miscarriage I saw the heartbeat. The RE said well your chances of miscarriage drops to 2% when we see the heartbeat....well I am a member of the 2% club :)

The short answer is no.  The worries just change with the different stages that you and your baby/child are in.  Just keep thinking positive thoughts!

I pray several times a day for the safety of me and the baby and for God's will to be. I also know that I can't control any of it! I can't control if I will loose it or not. I just have to have faith, do what I am supposed to do and see what happens. It is just so hard!!!!

Thanks Chrissy!!!

Praying and having faith is all that you can do.  I totally understand.

Traci...I would love to say "yes" it does.  I never have lost a baby but I have felt so scared from the very beginning of my pregnancy.  The baby moves around now...but I still constantly worry that "she is not moving enough"...and when she sleeps I am guilty of waking her up to make sure she is okay.

I really hope that for you..the answer is yes.  It is so hard to go through this worrying all the time.  I can say I have calmed down a lot since the 1st tri...but I still worry.  I think I'll worry til she turns 18.

I am praying for that your LO's HB.  I really have good vibes about your baby.  You will be in my thoughts on Friday.

With Love,

Anne
