What's something that's stressing you out?

Question

I will be 34 weeks tomorrow with my 3rd but I know I will be getting induced at 39 weeks due to GD. So I will probably have my baby girl in November. As I get closer to the date I keep thinking about the "what if" situations because I cant help it. The thing that's stressing me out the most is giving birth in the car 😂 I know that sounds stupid but with my last two pregnancies I was literally at my doctors office and my water broke and with my 2nd I got induced so I never went into labor at home and if I did the hospital was only 5 minutes away. With this one I am about 45-60 minutes away from the hospital depending on trafic. So the idea that i might give birth in the car freaks me out. What's something that's stressing you out as we all get closer?

Answer

Girl same, except for my work chair 🤣🤣 Thinking man, our custodian is going to have to clean it?! i like my chair, i don’t want to ruin in! FTM and have no clue what to expect!

Answer

I’m 100% stressing about having an induction or not. Were due on Christmas Day (12/25) and doc offered induction so that we can plan for help with our oldest three and the craziness of the holidays. However I’ve always went naturally and terrified of induction however being able to plan for the help with the kiddos sounds like a huge weight off our shoulders! I’m not sure! 😩

Answer

Same worry, but more trying to figure out how I’ll get to the hospital if I go into labor at work.  I normally take public transport - an hour to get to the hospital - and my husband works an hour away from where I do. I’m not really worried about giving birth on the road - baby #1 took FOREVER - but I am worried about taking public transportation during full on labor :(

Answer

I worry about the same thing I am at least an hour away on good roads I’m from northern Alberta so roads will start getting bad when the snow comes. I was induced at 39 weeks type one diabetes my labor was only five hours. So I often wonder if I go into labor will this one be faster what if it’s a blizzard out and then I’ll still have to take our daughter some where there doesn’t seem to be enough time. I am sure it will all work out

Answer

Having another preemie (has my first at 34wks) while being in a hospital an hour away from home... and if I make it to 36wks, I have a work conference an hour away from my hospital and I’m scared of going into labor there!

Answer

I’m a FTM so I have so many things I’m stressing about lol my husband has a work trip when I’m 35 weeks; what if I go into labor then? We have no family in the area and sometimes my husband is hard to get ahold of at work (due to the nature of his job) so what if I can’t get ahold of him and I have no one else and I have to go to the hospital and labor by myself? What if I end up needing a c-section? What if I don’t have enough energy to push when the time comes? What if something goes wrong at the very end and I lose my baby? What if we get stuck in traffic and I have to deliver in my car? (We live in the DC metro area and traffic gets bad). What if I have a bad reaction to the epidural if I get one? What if it doesn’t work? My family lives over 2,000 miles away (and so does husbands), will I be okay with no family support the first bit after she’s born?? What if I hemorrhage? What if my milk doesn’t come in? Can you tell I over-stress about everything 😂😂😂 34 weeks and I add new stresses everyday!

Answer

Potentially having repeat hellp syndrome (20-50% chance). 
I went from an unremarkable pregnancy to rib pain and vomiting at 31+5 with her to nearly dying and platelets dropping rapidly two days later and requiring emergency c section under full general anaesthetic. I’ve had rib pain and migraines for weeks but my bloods are still amazing. 
I’ve never had proteinuria or high bp so it’s only bloods that show up issues. 
We’ve made it a week further than with my daughter so that’s something!

Answer

The pain of labor and not being able to get an epidural if i progress too quickly or something else gets in the way of me getting one
