Anyone else having anxiety about going into labor early?!?

Question

I swear I have this weird feeling that she is going to come early. I have no idea why, and now that I’m 34 + 2... it’s hitting me hard that she could come whenever!

Answer

I have been thinking about this a lot lately too.  I'm sure most of us have the same thought.  So many March mamas already went early so it's hard not to think about!

Answer

I keep reminding myself that due dates are there for a reason... but it’s hard not to think about! 😛 I also looked up the stats to get an idea of when most babies arrive:
• 12 percent arrived early (before week 37)
• 82 percent showed up on time (between weeks 37 and 41)
• 6 percent of babies were born late (week 42 and after)

Answer

Oh yes. I will only be 32 weeks tomorrow and have had dreams the last 3 nights that he came early and he was so tiny! I do want him to come early but not this early!

Answer

I knew with my first I was definitely going to have her early. Just had the feeling the whole time. With this one I haven't really had a feeling so hopefully I'll be full term. It could also be that I'm getting weekly shots to prevent preterm labor, so that might be giving a sense of security or false security.

Answer

🙋🏻‍♀️ I have had a feeling that he will be early but he needs to stay put at least until the beginning of March (36-37 weeks). I can tell he’s starting to run out of room since I feel EVERY movement, back pain, and pressure.

Answer

Yup. But I was just in the hospital for contractions and am progressing fast. I'm 34+2 and my doctor said she's guessing baby will be here in about 2 weeks.

Answer

I had my first at 36 almost 37 weeks, after a LONG pregnancy it was a relief. I’m not going to lie as a first time mom  I was incredibly scared of the unknown. I remember when they told me they were going to break my water, I physically started shaking because I was so scared. Labor hurt really really bad but it wasn’t‘t the most painful experience I have been through. 
This is my rainbow baby I’m currently pregnant with, and my previous unviable pregnancy when I lost that baby I was expecting like full on labor pain but I felt some painful period cramps and then it was over. 
So this pregnancy im trying to brace myself. I know it’s going to hurt and I’m trying to think of ways I can focus on other things other than the pain. 
Can you tell giving birth is my anxiety? Lol

Answer

Ugh, I have anxiety about going late! I'm on baby 4 and my first is almost 12 years old. His birth is the only one that wasn't induced and I can't remember when he was born in relation to his due date. With my last two I was induced at 39 and 37 weeks. I just have no clue and that's what kills me 😫 I would prefer to go early, with no NICU time of course. Wouldn't everybody? Lol.

Answer

Yes! I just keep telling my baby girl that she has to stay in there at least til we move and can get her stuff set up.
