Anxiety Tomorrow I will be 17 weeks and I really want to get emotionally attached to my unborn baby…

I still worry about this at 24 weeks.

And like you said, the worry has made it somewhat difficult to feel attached but I have to put that anxiety to the back of my mind for the babies sake.

Try not to stress about it. I know it's easier said than done.

What helps me is my heartbeat monitor I bought on Amazon. When I worry, I use it and listen to his little heartbeat and it calms my nerves somewhat.

I felt this way. Before I had the scan at 20w I was seriously worried that we would go in and my baby would look like a blob. But don't worry, you only have a few more weeks until you'll get to see your baby and all your worries will go away ?

I was the exact same way with my first. I went into the anatomy scan terrified instead of excited even though there was no reason to worry. Once I found out he was a boy and the scan was really going well, I relaxed and got so excited and was so happy to know we were having a son. :)

I m the same. I freak out all the time! For everything. Will it grow? Will it live? Then I stress that I will stress the baby out... i feel like a teenager stressing out for exams.. but worse! I do find that yoga or spending time with friends helps :)

I am the same way , due to my infertility for almost 7 years i got blessed with my little baby boy , im 18 weeks 3 days today , and Monday i have that exam ; and im more scarec than excited! I was told my baby boy is healthy heart beat at 157 doesnt really change much . I think maybe because i still can't feel him move ?

I just want my baby to live I don't care about Down syndrome or anything like that. I just don't want any condition or abnormality that would not all her to live?

I am due any day now and those thoughts still cross my mind (probably daily.)

I'm hoping I feel better after the anatomy scan but I'm glad I'm not the only one❤

Yes , after the scan you will probably be okay . I have mine monday and ive been having crazy thought that when i go do a sonogram my baby won't have a heartbeat or something i think about that daily..

Yep have the same feelings all the time

I just always remind myself that something bad COULD happen to anyone in my family. My mom could get cancer, my brother could be in a bad car wreck and I don't sit here worrying about it every second. Odds are I will have a happy healthy baby and I keep reminding myself of that every day:) it helps ease my anxiety a little bit❤

Yes ma'am i do the same !!! God will mot bless you with a precious baby just to take it away from you !!! Can't wait to see what your having !? ill definitely let you know how my test goes Monday!!!

I paid for a private scan at 14 weeks and found out I'm having a little girl❤ they couldint tell me anything else other then gender and her heart was beating a strong 158 BPM. My anatomy scan is on Monday may 1st so not too far away!
