Almost 36 weeks and the worry never ends..

in Pregnant after IF

So I've come to terms with the fact that I've pretty much been worried about something at any given point during this pregnancy. At almost 36 weeks you'd think one could breath a bit easier, but no, now a whole new set of worries settle in...will the baby be ok during delivery? Will I deliver vaginally or will it turn into a C-section? Will my baby be healthy? How will I know I'm in labor? Where will I be when I go into labor? Will I be in a lot of pain? and I can keep going. 

Amazing how it doesn't end, right? In any event, I'm so grateful to be at this point, but just wish I could slap myself and just stop being so anxious!!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

    I too was worried about all of those things. Scared about the pain, how I would handle things, would Brady be okay. It was a huge fear of the unknown for me. Fortunately, for the most part, my labor went pretty smoothly and I realized I got myself all worked up for nothing. I hope you have a great experience as well!

    I'm not even as far along as you and I have a constant fear of where and when I will go into labor. what's it going to be like, will it move to fast to get the drugs (I really want the drugs) and on and on. You are not alone!

    He he, I'm pretty sure it will be worse once a little baby is screaming and you have no idea what to do.
    Think positive, you just have to. And please remind me of this later. Smile

    So true, it never ends! 

    I remember being that worried up until the end of my pregnancy with DD. Then for her actual birth I was really surprised at how doable it was. Things didn't go exactly as I'd hoped, but everything was still fine. Labor came on really slowly and just felt like period cramps at first. I even know one mom who went grocery shopping after she realized her labor was starting. The reality is nothing like in the movies! 

    Now having been through it I'm a lot more relaxed this time, even though it's a higher risk pregnancy. You will leave the experience feeling empowered!   

    But, the bummer has been that the worrying doesn't stop once they are born. Now it's a whole new set of things to fret over! I guess it's just part of being a parent.

    you are not alone sista!  I worry about little things (and the bigger things like those that you mentioned) all the time.  Then the voice of our hypnobirthing instructor pops into my head and reminds me to let go of the worries that we cannot control.  That phrase has stuck with me.  

    A little story for you... we went on our hospital tour last week.  They tried showing us a L&D room first - which she had just gone in and set up about 15 minutes prior, and the only available one at the time - and by the time we got there, it was occupied... so we went to the maternity side to see those rooms and the nursery and hoped they would have time to "tidy" up one of the other rooms by the time we were ready to go back over there.  She told us they can make any room into a L&D room, so no worries there, and we got to see an antipartum room after all was said and done.  The thoughts going through my head... a million people are due in October - just my luck I won't have a L&D room to deliver in, or I would get stuck in the antipartum room (the only one without the jacuzzi tub).  It's the little things I worry about too :)  So, no, you are not alone!  :)
