Anxiety
Tomorrow I will be 17 weeks and I really want to get emotionally attached to my unborn baby but every time I feel like I am I shut myself down because I'm worried and anxious about my anatomy scan. I know I probably have no reason to worry but I worry that they will find something abnormal and that the baby won't live after birth. I'm not even worried about Down syndrome or anything I would be blessed to have a baby with Down syndrome I just don't want to have a still born. Anyone else feel or have felt this way. I have been feeling this for a few weeks on and off.
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❤
I'm hoping I feel better after the anatomy scan but I'm glad I'm not the only one❤
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 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 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 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.

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
So, a few days ago I did genetic testing to see if my baby would have any disabilities. The numbers came back higher for Down syndrome and I now have to speak to a counselor about my options as far as continuing this pregnancy. The midwife said it isn't a final diagnosis, and it still makes me wonder. I'm not sure exactly how to take this, I'm thinking of getting a second opinion. Has this happen to anyone you know, or has anyone experienced this before and received a good outcome? I don't want ...
