i'm scared

[nada87]

it seems dumb but since my 20 week scan i'm scared of something happening to the baby. she has become so real to me and i love her, i can't imagine life without her now. if my water were to break (and i know its unlikely) they wouldnt save her becuz she's not considered viable. i don't think i can breathe until i get to the 24 week mark. she's my baby and i've named her already and now i stay up thinking of all the horrible things that could happen to her.

Aww I know how you feel, I just had my 20 week scan and I have had worries about my waters breaking of something.

Sending you lots of hugs, I'm sure baby will be just fine.

its totally normal to feel that way
i still worry ALOT, when i got to 24 weeks, i just wanted to get to third tri, i will not breathe untill im at least 32 weeks and no the baby has a reeeally good chance of survival. its scary to think things could go wrong, but its also unlikely so just concentrate on positive things xx

Nada87, welcome to motherhood! I would say, your "mother bear" instincts have officially kicked in. Try to take this as good news! The worry that you feel for her safety and all that love you have for her will last a lifetime. My oldest is 15 and I still feel that way. Honestly hun, it's a good thing...you're her protector by nature.

It's all normal! I thought I'd stop worrying when I hit 24 weeks, but now I fear I'll squish her since she's getting so big! lol
You'll never stop worrying hun! It's all part of being a mom!

aww your post brought tears to my eyes! I am scared too - I think everyone is and it's completely normal. And when she's born, you'll worry then too! It's never going to stop I think....
I started to love my bubs at around 16 weeks. Before then, she wasn't so real.
I felt better when I reached viability, but honestly, you only rest easy for 30 seconds before wishing for the next milestone to come!
