Pregnancy anxiety again!

[ilovechocolate80]

My pregnancy anxiety has really peaked this last few weeks. I'm so scared of getting sick and something awful happening. I feel stupid even typing this but, this afternoon my DD and I were watching some stormy waves when a giant wave came splashing over us and gave me a mouth full of sea water. I'm now worried with all the crap you get in sea water, it could be dangerous for my baby. I'm 31 weeks. Please someone tell me I'm being an idiot and he'll be fine.

You're not an idiot but you will both be fine :)
I've had this today as the baby hasn't moved around as much as usual. I'm on 20 weeks though so this is not really concerning but I let my mind run away with me.
Positive mental attitude is the best thing for your baby so try and think positively and remember the chances of something going wrong are low x

Thanks ladies. I've tried really hard to keep my anxiety levels in check but I'm failing rapidly at it at the moment. The slightesthing, vaguest risk seems monumental at the moment.

They do move more some days and less and othera though Ellie. It's only if the movements get less and less that you should go for a check in. My neighbour couldn't feel her baby for a day. Went in in the end and baby was just very sleepy it seemed. That was a few months ago - she gave birth to a healthy girl about a month ago. :)

Now I've stopp worrying about it ilovechocolate there has been a little football game going on in there this evening :) I've not been well at the moment with a really bad cold so not been a work so I think I just have more time to think about it and I've been moving less too.
I find it impossible too some days. Seeking reassurance from everyone is part of the cycle too. I'll ask 10 people and they say everything will be fine but I'm not convinced so I ask someone else ;)

Ditto!!! I feel less mad now. Thank you xx
