Is it normal to feel anxious?

[Lissie1986]

Hi all

Through out this pregnancy I've felt kinda anxious
About baby due to having 2 miscarriages a d secondary infertility issues and trying for this baby for 9years after 2 losses.

It seems as the months go on I get more and more anxious that something with happen to baby I'm 35 weeks+2 and just feel so anxious today about her. Obviously there are sometimes a reason like if I feel I've not felt hed as much and I've had 2 trips to triage for monitoring in the past 2 months and both times were fine. Baby doesn't have a pattern so hard to tell what's what but will have active and not so active days every few days... so I'm guessing that's her pattern but there really is no need for me to feel so anxious like something is going to go wrong I've only just started to buy things for baby too but wen I do I feel I'm going to jinx it lol please tell me it's normal.

I don't know if it's normal for everyone but it's definitely normal for me!

I'm 35+1 and previously had a miscarriage so the first 12 weeks were spent worrying about miscarriage, until my 20 week scan I was worried about abnormalities, then when that was fine I started worrying about movements all the time and now I'm starting to worry about baby being born safely. It's exhausting. Any HCP I've brought it up to has told me it's normal to be anxious but this is very consuming!

Not sure if it's a being pregnant after loss thing or just a being pregnant and having underlying anxiety issues anyway thing but you're definitely not alone

I'm the same. I'm 39 weeks now and so anxious. Have been the whole time.
I still don't think in my head it'll actually happen and that baby will be okay.

I dont know if everyone feels anxious but I know I have done. every little twinge or flutter I'm panicking that somethings wrong. I have historic reasons for my anxiety but its definitely amplified since I found out Im pregnant. I've also had a mc in the past which I blamed on myself and felt my body had let us down and that was my fault. and I drank over Xmas and didn't know I was pregnant, ive come to terms with that now and how it wasn't my fault, however it doesn't stop me worrying about this pregnancy xxxx

@RizzleRazzle and @SnooperTrooper12345 tou both sound exactly like me especially right now snooper n i dont really feel it will happen either im glad im not the only one who thinks like that. I feel maybe it's because I've waited a d wanted this baby for so long I cant actually believe its happening! @vixey you didnt know you was pregnant hun dont be to hard in yaself I drank and smoked b4 I found out i was pregnant aslkng as u gave all that up asap when u had those lovely lil lines on your test is all that matters .. let's all try to keep positive and have a healthiest pregnancy right now that we can and have left x
