Common fear?

As I'm nearing 32 weeks my fears of an unhealthy baby steadily increase. I remember this feeling with ds1 also.

Does anyone else have this happen? He's so close to being here, I'm just terrified of something happening to him before he gets here, or realizing at birth that he is unhealthy. :/

I had that fear off and on. I guess, I just prayed that everything was okay and if it wasn't, for the strength to get through it. There wasn't much else, I could do. 8^/

Why might you have these worries, is something going on?  
Have you been seeing a provider for prenatal care?

I have no reason for these worries at all! Happened to me with boy pregnancies as I got close to my due date :/

I had that fear with my first, but not my second or this one.  I feel that it's all in God's hands and things will be how they're meant to be.

Everyday with every child. I'm on #5, and I'm only 11 weeks. All my babies have been mostly healthy, small issues. Herniated belly button, GD blood sugar issues/preemie/NICU for 11 days, VERY HEALTHY, and very thick blood. With this baby we were not trying, and I was taking a medication called Robaxin until I found out. I'm afraid it has caused issues. I'm scared and totally will be stressed till the 20 week ultrasound, and then I'll still be nervous till the end. You're almost there! *HUGS*

I just posted about the same thing a day or 2 ago.  Completely normal.  I'm 34 weeks and it looks like we're probably going to induce maybe at 37 (if her lungs are ready), because she's just getting too big too fast and we want to try to avoid a c section (gonna be over 10 lbs if I go to 40 weeks).  But the closer I get regardless, I just get so anxious about something being wrong with her!  But my doctor told me I'm doing everything right as far as being pregnant, and there are just some things you can't control, so to try to relax and just go with it.  And she's not worried about there being something wrong, so I just trust her and do a lot of praying.  *hugs*

I do, I'm sure it's normal though. I'm still super worried about a stillbirth, and if she doesn't move for a few hours I freak out.

Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
