hi ladies, this is more of a worry thread than anything else lol!

im just so scared of going into labour very early, i really didn't think it was as common as it seems to be i keep hearing stories on the TV and online about how mums have gone into labour at 22 weeks and after, why does this happen? and is there a chance it could happen to me

im 21 and this is my 1st baby (ive had one miscarriage very early on) i have had no bleeding/spotting or any kind of pain throughout my pregnancy i dont over exert myself and i rest a lot of the time, my little girlie was right on target at my 20 week scan this week and the ultrasound tech and the midwife said she is perfect i have an anterior placenta and i know this doesn't cause problems, it just means im not feeling her move much i still use my doppler everyday though and listen to her lovely heartbeat, which means she's doing great in there, so why am i so afraid of her coming early?!?

im too scared to go out and buy anything big incase she does come and doesn't survive, and i know that after 24 weeks she does have a strong chance so i'm trying not to shop till then!

anyway does anyone else worry about this, and should i just stop worrying? thanx girlies xxxxx

try not to worry babe! Just want to send you some

im the same hun it terrifies me,either tho im now pasted the 24wk mark, i keep thinking now.....30wk i will feel a little better hope so anyways

I feel like this sometimes too but reaching 24 weeks really does help and settles things, not long ot go now, take care XX

I think its all to do with your natural instincts kicking in, my mum says whenever I worry about things like this that its the baby preparing you for the next 18 years plus of worry!

Sending you big
