: I am 12 weeks pregnant had an u/s done baby was fine at 10 weeks ... but i get this pessimistic thoughts that something might go wrong ... i just need people to tell me that my baby is ok ... i still have pregnancy symptoms even though they have lessen ... this is my first pregnancy and i don't want to lose it ... my sister had 2 pregnancies this year and the first was ectopic and the second was a natural m/c ... i am worried about a missed abortion ... i don't know why i get these crazy thoughts but i would hate to get my hopes up and then find out something bad ... my next appt. is not until the 19th of jan. and i need some comfort! could m/c be genetic my mom nor my grandmom ever had any just my sis, should i really be worried or am i just jumping to conclusions?
I too had these same horrifying feelings during my whole pregnancy. The worst part is that it never goes away. Even after the birth of the baby. What helped me was to set goals for myself. My first was that 12 week mark. When I reached the goals I did something baby specific. I did not buy clothes until 12 weeks. I did not buy maternity clothes until 3.5-4 mos. I began buying "baby" stuff around 5 mos. Then I started the room... and so on and so on. The time will soon be all over so enjoy what you have now, and try not to worry too much. It's not good to add stress to your body or the baby! Good luck with everything!
