Prenatal anxiety

How do I stop worrying that some is happening or will happen this pregnancy wasn’t planned but now all I pray for a healthy baby boy. He’s already perfect to me and I haven’t meet him yet I stay up and google missed miscarriages I have an appointment tomorrow we’re I’ll be able to hear sweet boys heart beat but how do I beat the anxiety in between is getting a dopler a good idea? Or will it worry me more? Thank you in advance!

I got a Doppler. I will say. It’s so hard to find a heartbeat on the at home Doppler because they’re more sensitive so I do not recommend them. I got rid of mine within 2 weeks bc it made my anxiety worse. Is October mommas aren’t THAT far along yet technically so my OB said the little anxiety is normal until we really start feeling them. Itll settle a lot more once you do. Try to stay calm and know you’re doing everything in your power for a healthy baby!

Im 20 weeks & I’m the same way but i have a home doppler & it helps me calm down I’ve been using the doppler since I was about 11 weeks & would just have to push a little more & go lower but now i don’t have to push as hard or go as low. Helps me with my worrying definitely since its been so hard for me to get an appointment 🤦🏽‍♀️

Measuring small

Hello,

I've just had my 25 week check up with midwife and she said I'm measuring small but she isn't worried as should be bigger at my next appt in 3 weeks

Has anyone had this before?

Guesses please🥹

12 weeks and 3 days!🥰

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

I said what I said

I’m on some other shit this Summer. I’m really about to not give a fk about nobody’s feelings. People played in my face this whole pregnancy. Im fkn on one all summer 2026!!! Whoever don’t feel me Fk em !!!! That goes for Family, friends, and this ninja!!!

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?

If you’ve had enough and ready how far along are you?

I’m 37 weeks and starting to get more uncomfortable but enjoying it generally not at the end of my tether yet but I fear it may be just around the corner according to everyone else? Haha

FTM

Anyone else due 20th November? Sickness has made its appearance tonight!🤮😂
