Is it normal to worry so much?

I know this probably sounds terribley selfish but i just cant seem to help worrying,i know its no good for me or the baby and i dont mean badly worrying but i mean its in the back of my head all the time and its all i seem to think about.Im 29 weeks pregnant and since ive been pregnant ive known 4 things happen to people that i know,one had a miscarriage,2 gave birth at 25 weeks and one had a still born at full term because of the cord.I was so deeply upset and now i just worry about my baby,how do you try not to worry about bad things?especially when theres so many sad horrible things ahppening to people around you?

Sweet, it's so hard, especially in your situation of all those things happening around you, it's hard not to worry isn't it?
Just try and focus on YOUR pregnancy and not that of those around you, if all your appointments have been positive, focus on that and keep thinking to yourself that there's no reason to worry about YOUR pregnancy.
Don't be too hard on yourself, although I know it's hard not to!

I'd say with all that happening around you it's not likely that you will stop worrying about things. Major stress in life like the death of a partner can cause issues in pregnancy but not everyday worries so it's not likely that your worrying will harm bubs or you.

I worried all the way through my pregnancy with Brock. The worries constantly changed depending on how far along I was & even during labour I worried that they wouldn't detect a heartbeat. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do to stop stressing about things.

All my worries were for nothing & I really wish I could've worried less & enjoyed the pregnancy more.
