How to know your baby is safe during pregnancy?

Question

I'm constantly worried about my baby's well-being. What are the signs or ways to know if my baby is safe and healthy inside me during pregnancy?

Soumya Vijayakumar · Answer

For me, keeping my sugar levels strictly in check was the biggest way to ensure baby's safety. I kept a tight food diary and went for regular scans. As long as you follow the diet plan given by your doc and watch the baby's movements, everything remains on track.

Humare ghar pe toh sab kehte hain bas khush raho aur achha khao, bachha apne aap surakshit rahega. Don't take too much stress, load lene se health kharab hoti hai. Just eat simple ghar ka khana and trust your gynac, sab badhiya hoga beta.

Honestly, I used to worry about this literally every single minute of the day! Every time the baby didn't move for an hour, I would panic and drink cold water to check. Try to rely on the doctor's scans and regular kicks once they start, otherwise you will lose your peace of mind like me.

Haha believe me, your baby is having a full party inside while you are stress eating on the couch! Unless your doc says something is off, just enjoy the free rent they are getting. Just track the kicks later on, rest of the time they are just sleeping off their heavy meals.

Haan na, initial days me toh constant tension rehti hai safety ki. But once you start feeling the baby's small flutters and kicks, you will feel so much better. Till then just follow the routine checkups properly, ho na?

Look, the best reassurance is doctor checkups, heartbeats during Doppler, and regular ultrasound scans. In the early weeks, you won't feel anything and that is 100% normal. Once you cross 20 weeks, just track the kick counts daily as advised by your gynac.

Same here, I also had the exact same anxiety. Just trust your body and don't skip your monthly doctor checkups.

Komal Gautam · Answer

I went to the ER once just because I felt the baby was too quiet for half a day, turns out he was just sleeping deeply! It is totally normal to feel anxious, but trust the regular checkups and scan reports. Your body is doing an amazing job, so try to take deep breaths.

I always feel that the almighty is guarding the little one inside us. Keeping a positive mind, reading good books, and doing simple daily prayers kept my mind calm. Just do your regular doctor visits and leave the rest to God, stay happy.

I am in my 5th month now and literally keep poking my belly to see if baby is fine, does anyone else also do this? It is so hard to know when kicks are still very soft. Do you guys also get worried between scan appointments?
