Any of you other moms nervous about meeting baby? I mean like finding out something is wrong....
I've had like 5 ultrasounds and none have shown any sign that baby isn't perfect, but I worry still.... is that weird or do we all worry till they are here?
 
i was wondering the same thing. i to have had like 6 ultra sounds done.
i also have been worried that something is wrong, nothing has pointed to there being. do you wonder if there is something internally or externally?
 
I'm not even sure.... just like... when he comes out he wont cry, or there will be something where they have to rush him off
 
Sometimes I worry he might die. I chalk it up to hormones and a very active imagination. I have a good cry over an imaginary scenerio (how grotesque, I know), then I snap out of it and continue on.
 
I worry all the time... When they don't move, I worry that they're dead. I drive myself and my husband nuts. I worry that when they come out we'll find out there's something mentally or physically wrong with them. I can't get over my fears. I'm hormonal, I guess. I just have never, ever wanted something or loved something as much as I do the two babies growing in my womb.
 
Yes, of course. And in our situation, I realize this is the price we paid for declining an amnio. My son's scans have been fine so far, but my age is a definite worry.
 
OK, I'm not glad you ladies are having fears.... but I am glad I'm not alone!!!
 
my biggest fear is juggling school with a new born i've been out of school for almost 4 years. i just feel like something bad is going to happen :(
 
yea i left school because i ran out of money and now i can afford to go back. FINALLY
 
when i was in though i was engaged but obviously not pregnant and the only responsibility i had was being at class on time haha. alot different now...
 
Ohhhh OK that's great though. You will find a way to make it work
 
haha i have to i busted my butt for college money and i don't want to be tight of money when my kid wants to do sports or play an instrument or whatever costs he's going to throw at me haha:flower:

it's just a fear i have because i've been out of school for so long idk if they make me retake the placement test because i may get landed into the 089 courses which will slow me down and cost me more and i'm only promised 3 years of paid schooling. i just hope i can skip the placement testing with my previous credit hours and i haven't studied for so long and i haven't been reading books or anything. i feel so unprepared :cry: my husband will also be changing jobs in march and we'll be moving in feb/march so it's like .. :shrug:
 
Oh, me, for sure! I have only had 2 ultrasounds and I worry a lot...I wish I could get a 3rd u/s because I worry about things having gone wrong since my 19 week one....like placental problems, umbilical cord problems, amniotic fluid problems, etc....there's always something I worry about and I just want reassurance but it doesn't look like I'm going to be getting another scan unless I seriously claim to be having issues. I already found out I have a yeast infection and BV but they won't scan me for that...even though the BV just makes me worry so much more!
 
I posted a thread exactly like this earlier today! You are not alone at all! I am quite the pessimist and usually have horrible luck but my pregnancy has been so smooth that it's freaking me out! The reality that I'm having a baby hasn't seemed to kick in at all and I'm terrified that I will come home empty handed or something will go wrong. :(
 
I'm terrified there will be something wrong. Lo is quiet & for the longest time I didn't feel kicking still really don't but feel movement where her feet are but for weeks I was scared she will be paralyzed & not walk:(. It's crazy really but I can't help it. Now I'm scared something else will be wrong like mentally & it's driving me NUTS. I can't voice my fears to my husband or anyone else cause I feel like they will think I'm totally crazy. I really wish I could just relax.....
 
I do! I am refusing a tubal after this even though I am done because i am sooooo afraid that something tragic will happen to my baby. I chalk it up to this being my rainbow baby- I worried with the 3 that I have, but not like this.

Oh my goodness I had the same fears!!! My baby was head down but all I could feel for forever was his hands near my cervix... I started to wonder if his legs had a problem!
Its crazy how we worry! Is it hormones?
 
I really thought I was the only one with these fears!

I start every morning out by laying in bed until I feel movement. He usually kicks me in the bladder just after I wake up, so on the mornings where he's quiet, I start obsessing about what could have happened in there while I was sleeping. If my need to pee is too strong, I'll get up and have a wee and then immediately make a cup of coffee, as the caffeine ALWAYS gets him moving! I'm just so scared he's going to die in my tummy and we don't even have a name for him yet. :wacko:

I also worry that something might be physically wrong with him when he comes out. I've only had two scans, and the anatomy scan just wasn't up to my expectations. The tech never explained much about what she was looking at and the picture always seemed so blurry (like she needed to use more of that goop)... so I worry that she missed something and that we're in for the shock of our lives when he's born. Like he'll have a third eyeball or a crooked face or something bizarre. :wacko: I REALLY wish there was somewhere close by that did private scans, because at this point, I could really use the reassurance. :shrug:

This is totally dumb... but I'm also scared he won't be as good looking as my first son. :rofl: DS was adorable from the day he was born, even with his little cone head from the birth canal. And he just keeps getting cuter as the days go by. He's so cute that people stop us at the grocery store to let us know that he's a doll. I can't help but think sometimes ... what if this one comes out ugly?! :rofl: I'm sure he'll still be beautiful to me, though, and I am going to love him even if he's born with a unibrow and a crooked nose. :kiss:
 
Nope! You so are not alone! I have fears all the time like that. This baby is nowhere near as active as my past babies and the pregnancy hasn't been easy, so I worry he has a problem, or I wont feel even a nudge all night and I freak myself out, and poke at him till he moves. I hate the anxiety its enough to make me wanna scream!

I'm sure your little guy will be just as adorable.... both my daughters look very different from each other and they are still so beautiful!
