freaking

in 2nd Trimester
so last night i woke up only about 20 times. had a terrible night. my last dream however, my newborn was huge, looked like a 4-5 month old. i still had nothing( no diapers or clothes or anything)and the baby didn't want to breastfeed, she water with corn puff from a bowl. i think i'm starting to lose it. all along the dream my mom is telling me that it will all be ok and that i am overreacting. we are jewish and don't buy anything for the baby before they are born., my mom gets mad if i even mention i looked at a carseat (she says if it's late we will borrow one to come home with) so i guess i'm more worried than i thought that i won't get anything/everything on time

    I've never understood the mindset of not buying anything for the baby before it is born.  What is the reason?

    definately sounds like your subconscious is having a freak attack that you aren't able to prepare in advance for your little one. it would be normal for any mother to be to have those worries, i know i would be totally stressed if i was unable to prepare in advance. but i'm sure it will all work out for you!!

    I had no idea that was a Jewish tradition!

    I think its your subconscious freaking out becaues you don't feel prepared.  How do people manage to buy EVERYTHING and have a brand new baby?  I guess if you have a large supportive family it works out.  I would sincerely be freaking out. 

    Sorry you have to go through it.  Do you have anyone else in your family you can talk with to not let it stress you out so much?  Someone whose had a baby rescently?

    Are other people allowed to give you items as gifts? Maybe that would help?

    the tradition suoerstition comes from the mindset of it being bad luck and if you do buy stuff , and then something does g-d forbid happen to the baby then you are stuck looking at baby stuff and cannot heal or recover from the pain.

    my families tradition is that after you have the baby, then the husband will go with my mom( and ister) and get evrything that we need. they will get the furniture crib clothes....enough for the first while and then surely you will get other gifts and can then decide what else you wnat or need.

    i get it,and with most things i am not a huge planner but still. if i leave the hospital same day, how does that allow enough time?will i get what is needed. i don't want to have to go shopping right after baby. i will be sending DH 20 times a day
