So anxious with rainbow pregnancy.
I’m 6 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby, after loosing our son at 20 weeks gestation last year. I am so anxious and worried about everything.
I guess it’s normal, having experienced trauma of loosing a baby. But I’m convincing myself that every abdomen twinge is not a good sign. Every trip to the toilet, I’m expecting to see blood. I don’t remember feeling this achey at this stage in my first or second pregnancy. Im not sure what I’m experiencing is normal pregnancy symptoms (occasional dull lower abdomen aches, tiredness and nausea) or just the side effects of being so worried!
We have an NHS reassurance scan book for the 28th Feb but I’m so so worried that there’ll be bad news.
Has anyone else felt this anxious with their rainbow pregnancy?
I was similar. Constantly worried any dampness down there or next bathroom trip would bring blood. It's really hard to keep the joy when there is so much fear and stress. My daughter is about to turn a year now. I wish i could go back and tell myself to celebrate every moment more and try to trust the process. I wish you all the luck in finding some peace and joy along the journey. Therapy can also be super helpful too.
