Anxiety or something?

I'm a first time mom so everything is new to me and i am feeling anxious, scared and excited too. But I constantly think of miscarriage, like i will go through it sooner or later. Or if I make it to the end of the journey, I would die while giving birth. I'm usually a positive person, but throughout my journey I'm so opposite. I don't know how to make myself believe that things will be alright and both me and the baby will make it through yknow. Has anyone else gone through such a negative minded space too? How do you overcome it? 😭

*hugs* ur feelings are valid. I felt the same way too when i was pregnant always worrying and anxious but very excited too!! Pls don’t think too much about negative things!! I just gave birth recently and when I looked back, i realised that i shouldn’t have worried too much. I wished i spent more time thinking of happy things rather than negative things. Think happy thoughts as much as you can. Don’t worry about labour too, trust ur doctor. Ure going to be fine. Ure in good hands. Always remember as each day pass, you’re a day closer to meeting bb! Enjoy your pregnancy and look forward to meeting your bb!! 💖

Yes, I was feeling the same as a FTM. My advice to you is to get all the rest and naps and sleep you can. Cause life will be totally different once the baby arrives. Go on dates with your husband. Hang out with your friends. Enjoy all the “me time” while you still can. Soon, it’ll turn into “we time” 🫢

I am a FTM as well and I get these random thoughts too, most times at night when I have endless peeing routine. Really good to keep in mind that the gynae check ups are positive outcomes so far and talk to your baby and sayang belly to interact with baby. It helps for me, all the best to you!

You’re worried because baby is too important to you, it is normal! Just know that whatever that will happen, it will happen and is out of your control. Even if you stress about it it won’t change anything. Thinking like this helped my anxiety. Hope you feel better soon xx
