honeymoon is over

Peggy • Mother of two perfect little girls. 💗💗
Please don't anyone get offended because I am truly grateful for this budding life inside of me and would be devastated if anything happened. BUT, possibly due to the crappy horror tv show my husband has been subjecting me to lately, I'm suddenly having all these fears that I will die in childbirth or have some stroke or anyeurism. Of course no one takes me seriously because this is how dramatic I usually am, but until now I've been so zen and confident in my body during this process. I hope it goes away. I'm very healthy and athletic, and have no current cause for concerns, but all of these articles say maternal death in the US is on the rise, and it's freaking me the heck out. If anyone else has insight or can commiserate or even maybe reassure me in some way I would be so grateful. Honestly anything other than completely dismissing my fear is better than what I've gotten so far!
