fears?

Question

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow. Getting induced in 8 days. I just want to know if I'm alone here...I feel almost obsessively worried that something is wrong with my baby. I'm just stressed and terrified. I have no basis for this. Is this common? Or instinct? Any of you other mamas worrying excessively on the safety and health of baby? For no real reason? Ha

Answer

I'm not worried anything is wrong right now,  per say, I'm more worried about taking care of a little tiny person! I'm terrified of doing something wrong.

Answer

I feel anxious too. I think it's getting worse because of our babies' impending arrivals. I keep trying to reassure myself, stay grounded, and ask for help if needed. It's hard but we will make it!

Answer

I understand what you're saying completely. I am 37+2 and being induced at 39+1 and I am praying that day comes quickly. I'm terrified that I will lose my baby before he is born. I think between the various unfortunate cases that I've read about on here along with the fact that I personally know someone that had a stillbirth very late in her pregnancy, I have become just terrified that it will happen. I'm tired of stressing about it, especially alone because I haven't shared this fear with anyone but maybe one person who also had a late term stillbirth. I just want the anxiety to go away 😢

Answer

I have those moments too.

Answer

Everyone experiences this to some degree as a FTM. A lot of people told me it come naturally once baby is born! I'm hoping that is the case. Little nervous about birth and caring for a newborn but literally so so so many women and men do it.

Answer

I know the feeling.  My SO keeps me grounded with positive vibes.  I think its just anxiety.

Answer

Yes! Omg so happy its not just me... Means I'm not crazy lol. We found out she is missing a vessel in her umbilical cord (which could lead to complications but no evidence of such ). But I'm severely worried something is going to be be wrong and we won't know till shes born.

Answer

Ugh... Same here! And I'm only 34.5 weeks... Can't wait to have her safe in my arms...

Answer

Why are you getting induced? Is there something wrong to cause an induction? I mean I'd be worried too but if the doctor is recommending it then it's safest for baby.
