Made it to 3rd tri and STILL scared this will end bad

BethK · Mar 15th, 2010, 11:49 AM

Please tell me I'm being totally rediculous!

We tried so long and hard for a baby and this was our last chance! Just so scared we're going to lose this baby! She's kicking well so I have no real reason to panic.

I just see lots of people on here who've lost babys in 3rd tri before and it scares me that it might happen to me and I'll never be a mum!

sorry for the downer, am tired today

your not being silly hun. im 34 weeks and im still convinced something is going to happen. pregnancy is nothing but worry all the way through. and no doubt when there born up until theve flown the nest we will still be worrying about them lol xox

everybody has these doubts hun, its perfectly normal to feel this way, we all do.
i'm on my second and even i am paranoid something will go wrong, it's a small worry in comparison to the much bigger worries that come hand in hand with parenthood. xxx

Fortunately for you, you're not being at all rediculous, unfromnately it lasts forever. I'm just over 4 weeks away from baby coming and I've gotten over the chemical pregnancy fear, the misscarriage fear, the premature labour fear, now I'm onto the "Omg she's gonna die on her way out" fear. It's so so so silly to think it and I really should get it out my head, but I can't imagine myself finally sitting in my nursery holding my little girl. It seems so undeserved for me. We'll all be great though! =D

i think the exact same, im 36 weeks and i still think it will end in tears and i cant imagine him being a real life baby i feel bad about thinkin like that glad to know im not alone xx

I feel exactly the same as you hun.

I worry constantly that something is going to go wrong. I thought it would get better at 12 weeks, then 20 weeeks, then 24 weeks....but the worries just change and now I worry about still birth. I have an anterior placenta and sometimes hardly feel the baby even at 29 weeks

have been to the hospital today becuase of it and they did a CTG and she is fine. But she's tucked behind my placenta which is why I can not feel her.

Although I say to my OH it will be better when she is born, I think I am going to be a nervous wreck for the next 18 years or so!!

sorry to be an even bigger downer but you never stop worrying my oldest will be 18 soon and I worry still every time he leaves the house that something will happen to him its all part of being a parent the worrys of pregnancy just prepare you for the worrys of your child going out into the real world where all the real dangers are.

Thank you so much ladies! Had no idea this was normal and other people felt the same!

Glad I'm not a freak

Hi there

I feel exactly the same. We also tried for 6 yrs for this baby (& 2 mmc) & treatment & now we're finally here I'm just worried all the time. It's like I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. It's horrible, after waiting all this time, we can't seem to enjoy it because of worrying!! Just didn't want you to think you're alone!!

Take care
