second pregnancy- odd thoughts of

Becky - posted on 12/13/2010

i felt the same way I asked the doctor about it and he told me that i was having panic attacks like it was nothing to worry about. After he told me that i have tried to relax not worry about everything that could happen. it went away but now that i am almost in the third trimester i am having full on panic attack if you ever had one you know what I am talking about. I just hope it will go away after the pregnancy.

im on my 4th pregnancy and worry about everything. My midwife told me its because i have 3 perfect little miracles and am afraid i cant win the genetic lottery again. lol. that is so true. i havent even told family yet because im 12 weeks and still scared of miscarriage. My husband is worried too, he had a dream the baby was born with wings. its gonna be a long 6 months. lol

Wierd, I am also on my second pregnancy and find myself worrying more than I did on my first!!
Morning sickness was worse this time round so I haven't been as good an eater as I was on my first, so already I'm like "my second baby won't be born as healthy as my first" or "what if somethings wrong with it because I'm not looking after it as well" .. I'm only 19 weeks and just barely feeling movement at the moment, I know that's normal yet I spend ages some evenings with my hand on my belly worrying that I can't feel anything..
I guess every pregnancy is different and hopefully it will calm down :) Good luck xx

these all must be normals. idk how your first pregnancy went but mine was crazy and ended at 30 weeks with a preemie girl. im scared the drs wont catch something or wont do enough to stop things from happening.

Wow autumn, that is exactly what ive been thinking. As well as worrying that the baby has "gone" when i dont feel it moving for a couple hours.
I've also been having miscarriage dreams which ismore worrying.
I just talk to my midwife and mother and keep getting positive feedback.
It's really helped the last week or so since my partner can now feel the baby kick. and the look of excitement and love on his face makes me feel so good.
Stupid hormones. now i'm crying. :-$ lol

I found that my worry got worse with each pregnancy, LOL. It's not funny, but I didn't worry with my first. I kinda did with my second b/c I knew what all I was in for, but was like 'heck, can't turn back now.' I'm pregnant with my 3rd, and having a rougher pregnancy than ever before so I've got all kinds of worry that I didn't have before with either of my girls.
As far as the sex- I was told 2x that I was having girls, and I did. This is my last one and I'm horribly afraid that they'll tell me I'm having another girl and then it's a boy, or vice versa.
I'm also paranoid about the health of the baby this time, as I've been having complications and so far baby is great. Even once I feel movement, I still don't think that's going to settle me any. Good luck to you!

I too am pregnant with my second and have had some strange thoughts. I am definately more anxious this time than last. Talking with others they have said that I am remembering how things went with my first and I am turning that into anxieties about this one. Remember every pregnancy, labor and child is different. Keep your head up it gets easier and time has flown by with this one. GOOD LUCK

i agree i have those thoughts too but just push them to the back of my head once i feel the daily fluttering

it's called anxiety and is perfectly normal. It should calm down as you get further along. I had the same thing with my first baby, but we decided not to find out the sex of the baby. I also still couldn'tr eally believe there was a baby in my tummy until after he came out. Sometimes i would wake up in the morning expecting to find that it was all a dream and my stomach would be just as flat as before i got pregnant. It was such a surprise to look down at my stomach and realize it was big and rounded! The ultrasound doesn't always tell you the gender accurately so that's something you'll have to figure out on your own, but once baby starts kicking it's going to be difficult to be anxious over no baby, or baby being healthy and living. Good luck, it will get better, and congratulations!
