I had my first at 26 weeks, right now I am currently 25w 3d. As my 26 weeks mark approches I have many different feelings and thought running through my mind. I am affrid b/c I don't want to have another 26 weeker but I don't want to stress about it either. I am trying to just go with the flow but it is starting to get to me weird dreams and my doc's have me so paranoid to watch for signs. So now I am thinking every little thing is somthing to be concerned about. Has anyone else had these feelings? If you have had a preemie; have you had another preemie?
Re: Counting the days
DD was born at 34w5d- that day in this pregnancy and the month leading up to it were really stressful! Every cramp, twitch, or slightly off feeling made my heart skip a beat. I was scared to do much more than sit and take care of my daughter.
Now, I'm a few days from full term with no baby in sight. Honestly, you're going to freak out this entire pregnancy- nothing you can do is going to make you feel better until you hit that 37 weeks mark, and by that point it's almost too late to enjoy your pregnancy. Just know that you're doing everything you can for your LO and that very rarely is there anything we can do to actually prevent PTL. Lots of women who have preemies go on to have full term babies, this board is full of plenty of success stories.
