Irrational fears-full term edition

Mine-
When I knocked my bump trying to catch my foundation I was dropping, I felt baby tremors later in the day and figured I gave my son brain damage.
Also, that the baby wont know to breathe when hes born. I dont know why but its just a thought I have all the time.
Apparently my subconscious is terrified Im going to forget to feed him because I dream I forget to feed him after hes born all-the-time.

Re: Irrational fears-full term edition
Mine is that I'll go into some horrible black hole of postpartum depression after the baby is born and just be miserable. I know that kind of extreme depression is rare and that most likely I'll just have baby blues... but I'm just scared.
That I will be pregnant forever.
That i will have an angry nest of hemmorids after the birth. I have ONE right now and the first two days i had it i was not able to walk without extreme pain. I named him after an exboyfriend... that's how evil this thing was. Now it's under control and i'm not in pain.
That someone is going to hit my car on the way home from the hospital with the baby. In the last 2 weeks I've been hit by 2 cars in parking lots. One person backed into my car while i was still in it and dented the back completely and then sped off before i could even get out to get a tag number (the seatbelt locked and i'm a slow pregnant hippo lol) , and then I got hit while i was walking back to my car because an 85 year old lady wasn't looking when she backed up. Luckily she was going slow so nothing came of it but it still really scared me and SO.
That made me die. I shall call mine Jason.
And Im sorry people are aiming for you in. That blows! Be safe out there
I hate those dreams! I wake up feeling like a horrible person and it takes me a bit to calm down and realize that the baby isn't here yet.
I'm afraid that I'll have 11 hours of painful labor, only to end up with a c-section. Then my milk will come in late, I'll have to supplement with formula and won't be able to breastfeed.
I also have that dream about forgetting to feed the baby! Or that my family/in-laws keep distracting me and keeping me away from him. Then I realize that he needs to eat and he's been starving all day!
I have been snoring REALLY REALLY bad over the last few months (I didn't before pregnancy) which has been affecting my husband's sleep. My irrational fear is that I'll snore like a chainsaw forever and my husband will either have to sleep in another bedroom or decide to leave me because of the snoring and lack of sleep!
wow great thread, now I don't feel so crazy lol.
I also have the dream about "forgetting" that I have a baby and forget to feed her lol
Scared about having to have to be induced bc labor will never come..and It'll lead to csection
also scared about her not crying/breathing at birth
I'm afraid I'm going to have an inconsolable baby that screams for hours on end. DH and I are both laid-back people, but maybe it's because I don't have any experience with babies that I feel like I'm going to have the least laid back child ever. lol It probably also doesn't help that my niece and nephew were both incredibly fussy and high-maintenance babies. I'm reading "the happiest baby on the block" at the moment to try and diminish my fears...
Also, since my doctor just told me yesterday that they won't let me go past 41 weeks, I'm now afraid LO won't come naturally by her due date and I'll have to be induced and that will lead to a c-section.
I worry about this too.
