Any PAL mums out there?

How are you all coping? I feel much stronger than in the early days especially now I can feel baby but I still have awful intrusive thoughts ❤️

I still have constant anxiety. I have an anterior placenta and have only just started to feel some movement and the days I don't feel anything I panic. But I'm so grateful to be this far along at 24+2 with a so far healthy baby girl brewing away. But it is still hard 💜🫂 xxx

Yes currently 25+2 today after infant loss at the start of the year. Pregnancy came as a shock we tried for 7 years for our prior pregnancy & I feel so blessed but I’m so anxious, I’ve days where I feel so hopeful but then the voice in my head always nags. I thought the kicks would help & although majority of the time they do, when he changes position and they feel different I go into panic mode 😂

Omg i get some awful thoughts for baby development even thought its all good and healthy! Driving me crazy!

It’s so tough! I was lucky to have my girl in June 23 after 2 losses and the whole pregnancy I was anxious. It did get a bit better after feeling her move but was still tough and she was born 15 days overdue and I was a mess that day so it really does stay with you until they are safe in your arms. This pregnancy I’m doing better but still have my moments. Loss has forever changed how I experience pregnancy. When I’m having a tough time, I do try to reassure myself that while sad things do happen nothing is in our control and the chances of everything being ok are 99% more likely ❤️

My anxiety is insane. I'm 27 weeks today and I still have this nawing feeling everyday in my stomach. My brain is constantly protecting itself against something going wrong, so connecting to pregnancy has been so hard for me, but like you said it's been a tad easier now I can feel him more x Gathering clothes and bits and stuff has made it more tactile for me too. But it still feels like this stuff is just stuff you know? Urgh idk it's confusing xx But defo with you Hun xx

My placenta is anterior and low lying so I've been told I might need to have a 36 week c section, which has made it slightly more real for me as that means I've only got about 8 weeks left. But I'm still praying everything is okay until then. I feel like I'm going into triage like once a fortnight with worries 🥺

I think you need to go to triage as many times as you need to. My midwife has really encouraged it. I haven’t needed to in recent weeks but I will if I’m ever in doubt. I’m glad you’re all feeling as positive as can be. We’ve all come so far this time 🙏🏼 🤰🏻🩷💙

I haven’t bought one single item yet. I want to but feel I can’t. I want to buy a book for my daughter about baby in my tummy but even that is giving me anxiety
