Plagued by Pregnancy Worries? Our Readers Write!

I am in my 14th week of pregnancy. Everything has been going fine. Except today when I woke up I noticed that I didnt feel that wholeness that I usually feel. You see, I am very excited since this is my first pregnancy. And when I woke up I just felt like I lost it or something. It is hard to explain. Not only that, I have been extrememly worried that the baby will not be healthy or that something will go wrong. I keep thinking that my mind might be playing tricks on me and that I should just try and be happy. If someone has any kind of advice please contact me. junkfoodoi@yahoo.com

I'm sure all our worries are natural for all expectant mums! I am almost 11 weeks and i am absolutely terrified that my baby wont be healthy. I just want to know it's got 2 arms and 2 legs, everything in the right place etc etc and when it's born not to have any learning difficulties for example - no offence to anyone with children with difficulties. Because i am not getting a 12 week scan because i had one at 8 weeks this just exacerbates my worries because i have to wait until i'm 20 weeks for a scan! I did have a miscarriage in February this year, so maybe this is a factor which is added to my concerns? What are we all like!! ideally we all want perfect children, but we all love them just as much no matter what. Good Luck to you all! I am glad that there are others who are worrying about the same things as me and that it's not just me. xx

I am 25 weeks pregnant with my 3 baby, but 1st baby girl. My husband and I are very excited. We are praying for a healthy princess in September. Even having been through this now 3 times I still get worried about it all. I am anxiousley waiting to get a 3D U/S done in a week. Just to be sure about the babies healthy and gender. I want to wish all first timers and all been there done that mommies luck with their pregnancies. I hope everyone has healthy babies:)

I just found out I am pregnant...yesterday. I really didn't think I was pregnant this month as I had been having some cramping (normal period stuff) so I went out drinking a couple weeks ago (not stupid drunk but too many for a preganant mommy) and then I had a few cigarettes this weekend a 2 drinks. I am probably only a few weeks along but this is when all of the neural tube develpoment is done and I am worried. Anyone have any advice?
