Hello dear,I understand your concern.
In my opinion it is usual to be very much concerned about the pregnancy.

But it should be in a positive way like eating healthy nutritional diet daily and making your fetus grow in a proper way.

But it should not be in negative way like fear
of losing pregnancy.

Because the negative thoughts lead to stress hormones in the body and cause damage to fetus.

So relax.Nothing to worry.

Take healthy nutritional diet like fruits,veggies,milk,meat,fish etc.
Adequate fluids upto 2-3 litres per day.

Practice antenatal yoga and meditation daily.

Get regular antenatal check ups and take prescribed prenatals.

Most of the complications if at all present can be diagnosed early and treated as the ultrasound is available these days.

So relax .Most of the pregnancies take a normal course with good outcome.

You can get yourself involved into some sort of activity like reading good books,listening music etc.This will also have good impact on fetal growth.

Just avoid stress and have a happy pregnancy and delivery.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
