All preg women come in!

SeminoleJessica · December 2008

So I've been having a lot of fears lately (weren't they all supposed to go away after the first tri??) and I thought of something we did in high school. We took little pieces of paper, wrote down our fears and burned them in alittle pile. (I went to a Catholic School so we were offering them up to God but even just the act of burning them felt liberating for some reason for those that arent religious)

I thought we could do that here. Write down our fear and "burn it" with the help of our fellow SAL nesties prayers and good vibes.

I'll start...

Im terrified of preterm labor

Im terrified of not knowing "how to be a mom"

Panda53321 · December 2008

I am scared that KJ will feel neglected once the babies come. He is a momma's boy and spoiled with attention through and through. Since I plan on nursing the twins I know it is going to eat up a lot of time. Even thinking about it makes me tear up.

Good idea!

I'm still scared to death of a m/c, especially with my spotting yesterday.

I can't shake a bad feeling I've had the past few days that something is going to go wrong.

Rachel&Joe · December 2008

I am only 4 weeks along and I am terrified of having another miscarriage. It feels like I have the longest wait until I am out of the first tri.

SpartyGirl · December 2008

GOOD idea!

- I'm currently worried that I'm not showing enough even though I know w/ a first baby I many not really show for another month.

-i'm scared whether the baby is growing on "schedule", even though I'm pretty sure I felt a couple pops this weekend.

-I'm scared that I'll go to my dr appt tomorrow & something will be wrong b/c dh isn't going to the appt w/ me. even though i have absolutely NO reason to think this, nor do i have any bad feelings.

I'm terrified to go back to work and knowing how to balance it all.

dmsmth · December 2008

I'm terrified I'll loose this baby too, wether it be to miscarriage, still birth, preterm labor etc.

cluiss1 · December 2008

I'm afraid that when I go into labor I'll just fall apart. I've been so confident this entire time, but as the day gets closer I can feel the fear creeping in.

I'm afraid that I won't know how to be a mom.

showcow · December 2008

I'm terrified that we won't hear a heartbeat at all tomorrow.

That I'll lose this baby someway as well.

I'm worried that I'm not really showing at all to myself and that means somethings wrong. Even though I know that it may be awhile before I show to myself because I've been so sick.

mrsladd · December 2008

Although I'm nearly in my 3rd trimester, and have been feeling very confident for the past few months, I have suddenly had thoughts creep in that you never know what could happen...by Christmas we could be in shock dealing with the tragedy of another loss, for whatever random reason (I think that is because my last m/c was this time last year).

I'm worried I'll always be haunted by the May baby and the little girl that never was, instead of feeling complete and just enjoying the three blessings that I do (almost) have.

aprilinva · December 2008

I am terrified of going into preterm labor. At my dr. appt last week my dr. said I am measuring 3 weeks ahead and scheduled an u/s at the end of this month to see what is going on. She started discussing signs of preterm labor with me and told me that if I go into labor in the next few weeks, they will try to stop it. Now I am freaking out that she may come too early.

gremaud07 · December 2008

Terrified of tearing, pain of labor..and if my recovery will be bearable.

mrsdanigirl8 · December 2008

I'm scared that our house won't be "ready" for baby if baby decides to show up early.

mrsdanigirl8 · December 2008

One more... I am scared that my dogs won't take well to the baby. My coonhound and "baby", Scout, is always at my side. Total momma's boy. So I worry that he'll feel left out/pushed away. I know I can control this but he's just so emotional already.

Huggy Bear · December 2008

I'm afraid of something bad happening with my baby since my initial NT scan results showed I have "increased risk" for Downs. I hate worrying!

pahokie · December 2008

I'm scared of not seeing a heartbeat at the next appt (On Chirstmas Eve!).

I'm scared that my eggs are too old and that this baby will have problems.

honeybeee · December 2008

I am scared that at my first ultrasound all we will see is an empty sac like the first time around.

ava_belle · December 2008

I scared about my next ultrasound. I am scared that they are going to tell me bad news. My last one at 10 weeks was fine. But I haven't seen the baby since then and I still have a few weeks to go!
