Pregnancy anxiety

Hello, I know that this is the best place to post because more than likely everyone has gone through this. I am 22 weeks pregnant and I am so anxious. I know there is a small chance but I constantly have in the back of mind that there is a chance of loss until 24 weeks or if not that, that the baby can live outside the womb from 24 weeks. I want her to stay in there until the end (as we all do) and I am sure everything is going to be fine but how do I silence these worries? It’s just constantly in my mind.

To be completely honest, I don't think you can really silence those worries. I felt exactly the same throughout my whole pregnancy, it was like as soon as one worry passed, another one took its place. The only thing that helped, even just a little, was keeping my mind busy and distracted, whether that was colouring, reading, going for walks, or listening to podcasts xx

No braxtonhicks

I feel like everyone else is moving along but I have nothing. I am 36+3 and still no contractions of any kind. Should I be worried ?

Pregnant with a 9 month old

Anyone else struggling to look after their little one while in first trimester?

My first was an ivf baby after 6 years of trying and 5 rounds of ivf so this pregnancy caught me by surprise. I’m over the moon but gosh I miss just being able to sleep as much as I wanted !!

BF mums

Hello BF mums, how long do you plan on BF for? I don’t feel ready to stop and I love the bond it creates between me and my son. However, WHY are people so judgmental about something so natural? Trying to make me feel as I’m not doing me or my child a favour….

Even a doctor made a comment!
