Fear of losing pregnancy

I’m 28 weeks pregnant. And I constantly have a fear that something is wrong with my baby. I have an anterior placenta meaning my placenta is on top of my baby basically putting a cushion between him and me. So I hardly feel kicks. Which that also triggers me to worry. I had a miscarriage a year ago so I feel like I haven’t been able to enjoy my pregnancy or belly due to my fear and anxiety 😕😞

Has anyone else felt this way.

Yes! My last pregnancy I had an anterior placenta and rarely felt kicks but everything turned out fine. This pregnancy My baby had iugr ( super small for growth) and poor blood flow from placenta. I am 25 weeks and super scared of losing it to the point where I try not to become attached to the baby. Hang in there and in 12 (ish) weeks I’m sure you will have a healthy baby!

I feel like this all the time. I had a miscarriage in May 2018, the first time I ever got pregnant. Then I got pregnant with my son July 2018. I was so anxious during the whole pregnancy and was terrified of losing him. Being pregnant with my second, I thought that I’d be less anxious this go around because I had a full term pregnancy with a healthy baby...NOPE. I’m terrified even more so this time around. I’m 21 weeks and I still check for blood every time I wipe and I’m so so scared of my daughter being stillborn. Just hang in there, you’re not alone ❤️

I can relate to your anxiety. Someone said, get used to it because you'll always be worrying about your kids for the rest of your life! It doesn't do much to stop the concern now, but it helped me step back for some perspective.

Only 5 and a half weeks pregnant and I'm scared every day :(

I'm so sorry to hear that! But I definitely understand this is my fourth pregnancy but my third I had a miscarriage. And this whole pregnancy I've tried to be brave and put on a smiling face but it's hard. I hope things get better for you and pray you have a healthy happy baby

You can buy a cheap doppler to listen to the heart beat on Amazon. This may ease your nerves.

I had a miscarriage 2019 first time getting pregnant after trying for long, but 6 month later got pregnant with my daughter, i was the worst i got panicky i always rang hospital every little concern i had, i was a mess i didnt enjoy my pregnancy or anything cause of the anxiety and worrying something might happen i overthinked before i ate stuff. Try staying positve, dont stress as baby pick up on the stress x hope everything goes well for you x

I had an anterior placenta. Give it a couple more weeks and baby will be plenty big enough to feel every kick! I didn’t feel anything until 24 weeks but by 30 he was rolling about and kicking really strong gave me reassurance x

I have an anterior placenta also and can relate. That and I’m not confident in the care I’m getting (my OB isn’t very caring)
