The anxiety... I can't take it anymore

[brittbray04]

I have made it to my 29 week mark... The longest I have carried a baby. We have named our daughter, prepared a nursery for her and now we are just waiting... Every day we have made it through this pregnancy we have considered a blessing and have been so thankful. We have had several scans and the baby has passed all of the health checks with flying colors! This pregnancy has been 100% different then the last one, it has been nearly perfect, ideal, like a pregnancy should be. But on top of being thankful for another day of being pregnant with no complications, I wake up waiting for the ball to drop. I have anxiety attacks if I go a couple of hours with out feeling kick, I start poking and proding my girl until she gets angry and starts kicking me. Waiting for the day for our baby to be born is an extremely anxious time... its really not that far from now and I can't wait to hold her in my arms!

It's just so hard to let go of all of the anxiety and fear and stay positive, especially after such a terrible experience with our last pregnancy and the loss of our twin boys. Once my anxious moments pass, I thank God for this baby that is staying healthy and continues to grow as she should!

Thanks ladies for listening to my rant! I hope all of the best for all of you expecting your rainbows!

I'm so sorry for your losses.
You will be fine this time, everything will happen as it should and your baby will be perfect.
Stay strong and try your best to relax and enjoy it x

From what I hear you'll worry until the day theyr'e born, and then the worrying REALLY begins. Stay strong, it's so hard to keep the anxiety down after suffering losses (especially later term losses like you've had), but this is YOUR TIME! I believe it!!

Thanks so sweet you poke her! She is fine, she sounds so perfect, and your are going to feel anxious for her, all the time, and you will never ever stop worrying for this special little girl, but honestly... shes not going anywhere! It would be nice to never ever have had to experiance loss of a child, in anyway, but once you have that fear stays. Just means this little girls gonna has a Wonderful Mummy!
