Does anyone else get so worried during pregnancy if baby is okay and want to get double checked every week?

I’m so paranoid all the time and worried about the baby! I’m 20 weeks but I still worry about a miscarriage 😴

I do hope my baby is ok, 19 weeks tomorrow. No movement

I'm exactly the same, my anxiety is through the roof with it

I’m exactly the same I am 20 weeks too. Anxiety is so high I get movements but then worry when I don’t feel anything for a day or so xx

Yes and I think sadly there is always a bit of worry. I had 2 losses before my girl and then had her and felt anxious throughout and even now especially when in this limbo period. It does get better when you are feeling consistent movement. Though even when I was in labour I had an anxious time. There is no safe point but statistically from 12 weeks the risk drops to below 1%. Despite still having anxious moments, I really try to trust the process and know nothing is in my control so no use over worrying. Just day to day, week to week keeping distracted/busy. Again definitely easier once lots of movement and very normal to feel worried/in limbo but remind yourself it’s 99% more likely all is ok and the 1% isn’t within your control.

Always!! I’ve had 2 NHS scans and 3 private scans so far and I’m only 17+6! The anxiety is real xx

It’s like I wrote this post myself! I’d want a scan once a week (if not daily) if I could!!!

Literally I have my 20w scan in 4 days and have loads of revision to do for next Monday and I can’t think about anything but the scan!
