worry about baby?

spritz · December 2010

Do you ever worry that something will be wrong with your baby? It's not a constant thought of mine or anything, but every once in a while I get worried that they've missed something on the u/s or that she will be born with something wrong. Today it was brought on as I was looking at old u/s photos and I came across a terrible 3d pic of her face. I remember being concerned about it at the time, and the tech said it was because she was too far in my pelvis and her hand was over her face. I just wish she hadn't given me the pic because it is so bad. My doc and the tech weren't concerned at all, so I guess it's fine. I just worry sometimes and this is what brought it on today.

Not incessantly but yes, I do. We opted out of genetic testing and I know that they can't catch everything on an u/s so I worry a bit since there is always a chance.

I worry about a lot of things... if she will come early, if something will be wrong.

They detected a little higher then average nuceal (sp?) fold during my 24 week ultrasound which gives her a 1% chance of having down syndrome. But a follow up 3rd level u/s couldn't find any other markers so hopefully she is alright...The rational side of me says 99% chance of not having downs but us moms worry right?

Then I also worry becuase I have gd, so things can go wrong in the last little bit. That's why I'll be induced early, but then breathing issues, size issues, sugar issues. Yay I can say I worry. I think its normal part of motherhood.... I worry about my toddler as well. lol.

The thing I worry about most is my baby somehow for some reason now making it :-( I have a friend that about 3 years ago, 2 weeks before her due date, her baby passed. They dont know why and I cant help but think about that everyday. I try not to stress too much tho, even tho I know it can happen, its not very likely. Just something that is always in the back of my mind.

I worry about this periodically. We've even had an amnio, and know that there are no chromosomal abnormalities. But the amnio was due to what the doc thought was a heart defect, so I've been slightly more paranoid than I was to begin with about problems since then.

I totally worry here and there about the same thing. What if they didn't find something? What if, what if? I know it doesn't help to worry and wonder so I try to shove it out of my mind as soon as I think like that. Buuuut, we're human. We're mommas-to-be so I think it's a bit natural to have some worries here and there.

I worry all the time. 3 years ago my best friend lost her baby 1 week before the due day (also the day after her birthday). On a good note, that friend just gave birth to a completely healthy baby girl yesterday!!! I worry about losing the baby, about something being wrong with the baby...On my most recent US Cammi was all scrunched up and it made her look like she literally has no chin. ( I know that she does...well i REALLY HOPE she does) A few days ago I had to go to L&D and when my dr came in I made sure to ask him....he and my FI both busted out laughing at me. Apparently I was being irrational?
