Take a deep breath, and relax 🖤

I keep seeing all these comments and posts talking about how these women want to make it past 13 weeks so they know they're in the clear. I wish I thought like that. When I was pregnant I found out at 4 weeks. I worried about miscarriage everyday until I hit that amazing 13 week mark. Then fear came creeping back. Then I worried about making it to week 20 because a friend of mine just lost her pregnancy at 17 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Then I worried every day that I would make it to week 24. That's when the baby would be "viable" if I were to go into early labor. Then I worried about early labor. And what if the Braxton hicks are real contractions? Will my baby be in the NICU? Would he make it? Then at week 37 I worried every second. I was TERRIFIED of stillbirth. Especially at full term. I watched so many YouTube videos of amazing mothers telling their stories of how they had a stillborn baby. Then I had a coworker who went to have her cesarean, the baby passed away and she had a stillbirth. On the day she was scheduled to have her precious baby. And now, I'm sitting here holding my sleeping 2 month old. Some nights I dont sleep. Some nights I just sit and stare at my baby because I am absolutely terrified that I will lose my baby to SIDS. So to all those mothers that say "cant wait til 13 weeks so were in the clear", trust me. You never stop worrying. But just take a deep breath and relax. Every day that you get to either be pregnant or be with your baby, is something to be grateful for. Everything is in Gods hands. Just soak up every bit of it and enjoy your baby. Its an amazing experience and it shouldn't be ruined because you're scared of something that's out of your hands. Just sit back and take a deep breath. You got this 🖤
