Anxiety

I always feel really confident for a few days after my ultrasounds, knowing things are going great and really believing the baby will be okay. But a few days before the next appointment, I start to feel so anxious and afraid! I wonder if this is how everybody feels, or if it is unique to those of us who have already experienced pregnancy loss? I am praying for God to remove my doubt and allow me to enjoy being pregnant.

Hi Kristi,
I remember feeling the same way when I was pregnant with Kate. It was always such a relief to hear the baby's heartbeat at each appointment, but a few days later, I'd often fear something was wrong. Once I could feel Kate 'fluttering' around, the anxiety lessened considerably.
I pray the Lord will give you hope and peace throughout this pregnancy!
