I think this is normal. My mom had 8 miscarriages and one thing she told me after I lost my baby is that I will probably never be able to be relaxed during a pregnancy again.

I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were feeling. I think everything your feeling is probably very "normal" for a mother in our position. I wish I had some good advice for you, I can say mention to your doctor the concerns and anxiety and maybe he/she can help ease you some. I know when my day comes again I will be a nervous wreck as well. If you need anything or someone to talk to please let me know. I wish you a very happy,healthy baby and pregnancy. Keeping you in my thoughts!

I'm not sure if my uneasy feeling is about the new baby or if its just the way it will be from now on. I never use to be afraid to go in public or just had this worry about everything. I feel like my breathing speeds up and that im about to have a panic attack. There are days when I keep myself super busy that i dont get that uneasy but i cant stay busy forever yaknow what I mean? I'm just trying to find out if there is anyone that experienced being uneasy after there loss and felt lost and that there was something that just wasnt right?

it will be ok ^^

Oh yes......I can totally identify with you! I am a nervous wreck all the time it seems anymore. I am expecting again too, and I feel doom and dread with every doctor's appointment I go to. I get myself convinced that there will be no heartbeat. It takes me back to that horrible day when I found out my sweet little baby girl was gone. I hate being out in crowds and stores also. Every time I am, I get anxious feeling and start to biting the insides of my mouth which is painful! I don't do it intentionally.....I think it's from my nerves.

I attribute it all to not being able to relax during this pregnancy. It sucks to not be able to enjoy it like "everyone else". I just do the best I can each day. I did buy myself a fetal Doppler, and it has helped with some of the anxiety. It is reassuring to hear the heartbeat when I want to. But, I also know that it doesn't guarantee anything either because I also rented one during my last pregnancy and ended up with a stillborn anyhow.

How far along are you......are things going well with your pregnancy so far? Maybe you could talk with your doctor to see if there's anything safe to take to help you relax some.

I know it's hard. Just take it a day at a time. I'm here if you need to vent.

Take care and wishing you some peace and happiness.

I can relate...

I never had anxiety issues before I lost Owen, but now, it's crazy... I worry something is going to happen to me, I worry even more that something is going to happen to my husband and, now that I'm expecting again, I constantly worry about the new baby. I believe that, because we've lost someone so special, someone we love with all that we are, we become paranoid that we will lose everyone.

My panic attacks have been pretty frequent lately. I'm not sure if that his the pregnancy hormones kicking in, the holidays, or some combination of everything.

I guess I don't really have an advice, but I wanted you to know you're not alone!

It's normal to worry, but if you feel like you are having anxiety or panic attacks, you should definately talk to your dr.

Congratulations are getting pregnant. I don't know how far along you are, but the doctor's tell me that when I get to 20 weeks I should start feeling the baby move and that will make it easier. I'm 19 weeks and every day I wonder if the baby is still alive. I seem to be burying my second baby all the time and going through the horror that I just experienced in April. What you are going through is very normal when you think about how terrible it was to have a baby stillborn. The anxiety is also very normal. I read that people recovering from a stillborn have a lot of the same symptoms as people with Post traumatic stress disorder. Hang in there. We are here for you and we understand.
