29 weeks and still worry but I am a worrier. Not necessarily about m/c but about a million of other issues that could come up.

I thought I would always worry after my miscarriage but I really felt a million times better after twelve weeks. I am not a worrier by nature though.

I didn't start really getting excited and wanting to talk about my pregnancy until after 24w. I was still kindof anxious until 30w. At 34w I finally started buying things for the baby.

I think I worry too much but I hide it well. Lots of what if scenarios are running through my mind daily.

@Mrs. Lion: totally agree.

For me personally, there was a lot more worry between 24 weeks (or, around viability) to around 36 weeks than from 0-12 weeks. The stakes seemed much, much higher then.

My LO is almost 3 and I don't actively worry about her a lot...you know, until she runs or moves or anything

I am 29 weeks and I still worry about him because I am so in love with him and I feel like I have so much more to lose. Having two losses prior doesn't help.

I was super worried during my entire pregnancy. I think it was because I knew a couple people in real life who had late term miscarriages and was worried it might happen to me. I even went to the ER around 34 weeks when I thought the baby wasn't moving. Fortunately baby was fine.
After my baby was born, I felt significantly better but was still worried (SIDS, etc.). My LO is almost 1 now and I still worry but it's way less than when I was pregnant.

I worried less in stages as I progress. More with E than with T. I've hit a point where I'll just take everything in stride now

People said you just never stop worrying, even once the baby is born. That was actually not true for me.

I stopped that every-day type worry when I hit to 2nd trimester. Then I felt really great after 24 weeks. I did get a little worried again past 40 weeks because I was just anxious for her to be out. Then once she was out I really had no anxiety about her (until we had feeding issues later but that was a whole other thing).

I can't really answer this. Partially because I don't have a LO born yet, but mostly because I'm not sure really what constitutes worrying in this case. I don't sit around worrying. I buy things, and operate on the assumption that she'll be okay. But I still have moments where I feel like I'm just waiting for bad news, for the rug to be pulled out again. And I have serious anxiety leading up to ultrasounds. So...? I think I'll always have bad moments/days. I've always had moments where I get upset thinking about something happening to DH or one of the dogs (and semi-regular bad dreams about something happening to one of the dogs), so I think that will be the same with LO. But it's not overwhelming most of the time, and I'm able to stay optimistic.

I was doubled over in worry until my first ultrasound at 9.5 weeks, after that things got soooooo much easier and I felt like a different person! I really don't worry too much anymore. 23 weeks now.

I have one on the outside (he's 2), 1 m/c, and 1 still cooking (25w). I worry constantly about both of them. I don't think it ever ends. I am a worrier by nature, however.

To quote my dad, when I tell him not to worry about me: "I will worry about you until I DIE." I get it now.

Didn't worry a whole lot when I was pregnant with my daughter (who was born healthy at 40 weeks!), worried during my second pregnancy (miscarried at 9 weeks), really worried during my third pregnancy (son was stillborn at 23 weeks), and am now completely and utterly terrified, almost to the point of it being incapacitating at times at 6.5 weeks. I also know people who had a stillbirth full term, so I won't ever stop worrying until this baby is in my arms, alive. Then there is a new set of worries.
