Any high risk mommy’s out there?

Hii my name is Karla and i have a very high bmi of 35. I will be having my anatomy scan in a month and will be seeing a high risk doctor because of my weight. This has really made me anxious and i would like to know if other mommy’s are going (or went thru) the same thing and any tips/advice/anything to calm my nerves haha

My BMI was around that and I had no issues at all. I had additional scans due to previous losses (due to a medical condition with myself) but my weight was never mentioned ☺️ I am UK so may vary slightly but I still got a healthy baby at the end 🥰

thank you !! I just wanna have the ultrasound already but gotta wait a month 😭 (i’m 16 weeks and dr wants it to be at 20 weeks)

My bmi is high due to my height and weight Im only 5’1 but im high risk due to having high blood pressure. I’ve done a nipt scan because I wanted to find out the gender but it keeps coming back inconclusive due to my weight so idk I just have to wait for a anatomy scan for the baby

I think my bmi was 31 at my initial ob appointment. Not a thing was said about my weight or it being an issue though. I am high risk for a few other reasons. This is my third baby so definitely not my first experience seeing an MFM specialist. Typically those appointments for me have been an ultrasound each visit and a brief meeting with the specialist to go over everything, making sure baby and I are fine. I wouldn’t be any more anxious about this appointment than any other one. You should be fine!

Anxiety

I’m 10 weeks and I have had so much anxiety probably for the last 2-3 weeks I already deal with anxiety but it was a tad bit easier shaking it off when I wasn’t pregnant.. I am on medication but doesn’t seem to be doing much tbh— I see a lot of yall say it’s a first trimester thing but this is my 3rd baby and I don’t remember being this anxious especially bc sometimes I’m just laying and heart rate reaches the the 120s am I the only one? Please help with suggestions. I don’t want to feel like this.. I know pregnancy is hard but fudge this makes it’s harder 😔😔😔

Back to work

I’m back to work tomorrow after the birth of my first baby. I’m so sad that our time spending all our time together has come to an end 😭. I suppose I’m looking for some encouragement from anyone that’s been through it that I will get used to it. Ugh it’s soooo tough 😫
