Hey guys.

I have just joined and wanted to say that I am pregnant! I love being able to chat with other people and have someone to talk to during my pregnancy.

I was just wondering what your guys' biggest fears are while pregnant.

I will start off by saying that my biggest fear is having a baby that has health problems.

My next thing would be of gaining way too much weight.

How about you guys?

Welcome to BnB!

Congrats on your Pregnancy.

I am not pregnant yet so Im not sure what my fears will be, but I know I worry if I will be a good Mom....

That has always been on my mind as well. I am not sure why I didn't post it, but I think I will be a good mom. Sure there will be times when I do things I regret, but it is a learning process and I have a great family to help. My OH is also a great help.

Oh I have a WHOLE list of fears! I freaked out on DH on Sunday cause I have so many.

1. that I'll miscarry
2. that there will be something wrong with the baby (my ex-DH just had a still born baby)
3. that I will be a bad mom.
4. that I will gain too much weight.

Hmm my biggest fears:

-Complications during labour

-My emotions won't level out and I'll feel over emotional about everything forever

-Since it's my first, I'll be a bit overwhelmed as far as what I should do for my bub. Hope mom helps out a lot here.

-Ppl will stare at my big belly and ask me a pile of personal questions.

Mine were:

*That id have an ectopic pregnancy
*That id miscarry
*I found out I was pregnant whilst doing a lot of cleaning/decorating, so I was worried id harm my little one
*That she would be born with a stump for a hand (I had a dreadful nightmare about it)
*That I couldn't cope with being a mum
*Pushing a big head out of my moo!! my god, that kept me up nights on end lol
*Giving birth in a corridoor (that almost came true as well)
*One of us dying during childbirth
*Bethanie was born with Polycythaemia and Hypoglaecemia (basically her blood was too concentrated and she had low blood sugars). Even to this day, I think it was because I did something wrong..

Big congrats on the pregnancy and remember, it's only normal to worry!!- as you can see, I worry a lot!

Basically I was worried that i would have an ectopic pregnancy, or miscarry. Now I'm worried about how I will be as a mommy, what my body is going to look like afterwards, and if there is going to be anything wrong with it when its finally here...Oy.

sweetie you''ll be fine ur almost past the scary range now just a few days more---and u'll be well out of it

u wont be a bad mom---

judging by ur wedding pic---let me tell u that its gorgeous first of alll
u'r obviously not overweight to begin with and u look fit so u i assume ur going to work out after the baby's born ---and the pounds supposedly melt off of u when ur breastfeeding ---if u choose that route---
and gaining too much---lets just say even if u start out with a lot in the first tri--the rest could be a lot better--- i'm almost done with 2nd tri and only put on almost 2 pounds for the whole 2nd tri---- but i put on 18 1/2 in the first tri---

biggest fear --- that i'll; be in some terrible car accident and lose the baby ---i know its weird--- and of course the biggest fear of all labour (i dont know how i will handle that pain --im a wuss --- even the lil pains of preganncy send me crawling in pain--esp the stretching of my uterus/stomach--- the worst of it was about a week ago when it felt like my stomach would burst and that there was no more room in there for baby---but thankfully this week is better and dont feel it anymore---but yes i now have the stretch marks to show for it ---- i guess its better than the pain of having them stretch out--i think i literally ran out of stomach fat and it had no more room but to stretch out so i'm just gonna have to live with the fact that i'll have a lot of stretch marks i had some stomach fat mind u--- i wasnt flat to begin with but i wasnt fat either--- just in my tummy )

My biggest fears are
- that the baby is dead inside me - i am so scared that is going to happen, i think i might get one of those things that u can listen to babys heart beat at home but think i will get addicted and do it like all the time
- That i have a terrible labour - i cant take pain
- That baby will not be born healthy

Think that is all my worries.
