I am pregnant with my second and this whole pregnancy has been different. I feel like I am more worried about this pregnancy than I was with the first. Then I had to come across a an article that talked about what a mom using during first trimester can cause autism or developmental delays. Things like the cosmetics, hair products, and lotions. Of course this time around I was using my daughters johnsons and johnsons bay lotion but have since stopped. Used it for maybe month two and three. So now I just cant stop thinking about that I may have harmed my baby.

The truth is ..they have NO idea what causes it. All of my 4 pregnancies have been different..even the miscarrage 1 was different.

There's always going to be something you can find to worry about but worry about things you can change. It is a better use of time and you will feel more fulfilled. Take your folic acid and prenatal vitamins to prevent the neural tube defect..that you ahve control over.

Relax. My 2nd pregnancy was nothing like my first. It was tougher. There were problems in labor, but she's a beautiful, happy, and healthy baby.

I too have worried so much more with my second pregnancy than my first. I am not sure if it is because I was working during my first pregnancy and am now a SAHM of an 19 month old during this pregnancy so in some ways I have more time? Plus we had a scare with our second ultrasound being told there was a white spot found on our babies heart which is a soft marker a genetic abnormality. Plus my age being 38 I was a nervous wreck. Had to wait 3 weeks for the level 2 ultrasound, which turned out great but still, too much stress. I have to daily tell myself to take one minute at a time, making myself more upset is not going to help. I am 24 weeks along can't afford to worry so much. I have a daughter who is wonderful a husband who loves me, this baby will be fine. I am not sure if that helps. I also get out of the house as much as I can, trying to stay active makes a difference. Congrats on baby number 2!!!!
