Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are going through a difficult time during your pregnancy. You have mentioned that you keep getting recurrent negative thoughts about your baby.
One possibility is that you could be having an obsessive disorder. Sometimes, depression can also cause a person to have such negative thoughts.
Since this seems to be distressing you quite a lot, it is important to seek professional help. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help. Counselling and sometimes, medication may be necessary.
Wish you all the best.
Regards, Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist
