Will my baby be born healthy?
I have had two ultrasounds in this pregnancy and everything was fine and normal and the doc was happy.
I have taken my prenatals religiously and, besides the normal pregnancy ailments, its been a fairly smooth pregnancy.
I have kept every doc appointment and have been told everything is going well so far.
I really worry that there could be something wrong with baby ... although i don't know why i have these thoughts. The u/s showed the spine as fine, heart chambers working well, even showed the little kidneys! Baby is very active and is forever kicking and punching me as well as just moving around so thats a good thing and yet still i worry.
What are the odds they could have missed something and baby may not be as healthy as we all seem to think?
Answer:
It's perfectly normal to have all sorts of fears & worries when you're pregnant. Happens to everyone.
It sounds to me as if everything is going very well for you. If there was anything wrong the doctors would have spotted it & let you know - so have faith in your doctors.
It's the most wonderful feeling ever when the baby is born & they give it to you to cuddle. You can't imagine how great that is so look forward to that & try to keep positive.
No long now although it feels like centuries.
All the very very best!
no, you're normal. Monumental worry just comes with the territory. It only gets worse. Good Luck!
Of course there are no guarantees. However, most women feel the same way you do and their babies are just fine. My son is 15 months old. The whole time I was pregnant I was terrified about what could go wrong and felt that way up until he was handed to me and they said all was well. It is normal to be scared because you can't actually see and hold the baby to confirm he/ she is fine. Take comfort in the knowledge that over 90% of babies are born healthy. The odds are very good that your baby is just fine. I'd worry if you said you weren't worried at all. Your maternal instinct is kicking in. You will worry about that baby's safety for the rest of your life and that's good because it means you will do everything in your power to protect it.
It is just stress and worrying about the birth of the baby. YOur baby will be ok. You seem to have excellent prenantal care and doing everything right its ok!
you are so normal to have the feelings that you are having. Everything will be fine, and the ultrasounds are pretty good at detecting abnormalities. I think if you did a survey, almost every woman who has had a baby would say they had the same fears at some point.
Good luck with your new bundle
Oh honey, I empathize! Your worries are hormone and mommy-induced. Hormones at this stage are a bear. Also, no matter what, you will probably always worry about your little one - even long after s/he moves out. Try to trust your doctor and talk to other moms (this is a good start). If your worrying gets out of control, talk to your doctor. Sometimes post-partum depression kicks in *before* the baby is born and there is help for you.
The chances that your baby is fine given all the wonderful care that you have given him or her already are excellent. The activity of the baby is a sure indicator of good health. If your doctor says all is well, believe her. If you can't, tell her. If you pray, do it.
Hang in there! You are in for the most wonderful experience of your life. :)
you are not alone. LOTS of women have this fear! but know, the doctors do keep a close eye out on things so the possibility is VERY low that something is wrong. and usually in those RARE cases, the "problems" that have been found after the delivery are nothing too serious! don't worry. i know...easier said than done, :) but try. good luck to you! you are SOOO almost there!
That is just normal worries. Try not to think that way. Your baby is healthy. I have had around 6 ultrasounds this pregnancy because I have a funneling cervix, and they have showed me her perfect heart, kidneys, lungs, etc, etc, but Im always still afraid of them finding something, even though I know that all is fine. This is my 4th baby. Its normal to worry.
