Last night I dreamt...
That I went into labor. Which I thought was an odd dream since I've never experienced labor (DS was delivered by emergency c-section at 34 weeks). Not to mention I'm only 30 weeks pregnant. Maybe it was a dream induced by my complete fear of going into labor and my complete ignorance on the subject...which scares me more as a 2nd time mommy.
I keep asking myself why did I commit to attempting VBAC...why didn't I just scheduale another c-section?
I freak out over this at least 3 times a day! I might need something for anxiety soon. Its not the only thing I freak out about. I think I'm more scared of developing Pre-E and HELLP Syndrome again. This I tend to think about all day long! I've become OCD about checking my BP...doing so between 4-6 times a day.
I really just need a chill pill. I'm usually such a go with the flow kind of person!
Seven more weeks just doesnt seem like too much to ask for.

Re: Last night I dreamt...
I've totally been there. I'm sorry that you're anxious, but I think it's completely normal. When you've had a rough first pregnancy, it's totally normal to feel scared about going through it again.
I had severe pre-e with DS1 and he was delivered at 31 weeks. I had anxiety throughout my second pregnancy and especially right around 28 /29 weeks. Unfortunately, I was in the rare camp of getting severe pre-e and HELLP again and delivered at 29 weeks with DS#2. If I remember the stats right, there's about a 70% chance that you won't develop pre-e again. Statistics aren't much of a comfort, I know - but try and relax as much as possible and talk to someone if you need to. I hope you have an uneventful and healthy rest of your pregnancy!
