Potential trigger - constantly worrying!

[beckie34]

To start with I was worrried about eptopic, first scan convinced it'd be MMC, 2nd scan convinced MMC. Since then every midwife appt. I worry no heartbeat and now I'm becoming obsessive with still born stats. I was looking at pregnancy hashtag on insta and was lovely then saw a page dedicated to baby loss and it's triggered something in me and I'm now worrying what I've eaten, drank, active enough, and analysing stats.

I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks but I can't help worry something will be wrong with my boy. I'm 27 weeks currently.

Are you feeling regular movements? Because that is the way we would know baby is well, if you have any concerns re movements? That’s when you contacty your maternity assessment unit.
If you find you are having obsessive and irrational thoughts, it may be worth asking your midwife if there is a perinatal mental health team she can refer you to x

I had a little wristband that I clicked every time baby kicks, as long as you feel 10 kicks or movements a day you're fine

Every baby is different though, and at 27w baby is still small enough to spin around in there, so it could be that you're not feeling the movements because of baby's position.

I've had a MMC so I'm right there on The Paranoia Express heading for Scan Reassurance City with you! Part of being a mum is worrying, you're not alone, but you don't want to worry too much, keep calm, Mamma, think of your blood pressure. Make sure you get lots of relaxation time, a nice warm bath always used to get DD wriggling. Every time she kicked me I gave her a little poke back, it was like we were playing a game.
