Things going so well, PgAL brain kicking in?

*Sorry, I accidentally posted this here instead of PgAL, but if anyone has any insight, I'd be grateful as well!*

I've been feeling so happy and so confident the last month or so, enjoying all of Baby's movement, looking forward to dr. appointments, even not caring so much about the annoying 3rd trimester symptoms.

Now that there are 8 weeks until my due date, I'm starting to get these waves of uncertainty. Unless he's hiding it from me, DH has been convinced everything is going to be fine with this Little One since our ultrasound in December, or before. Now I'm getting these scary thoughts of "well, yes, everything has been perfect so far, but babies can still die in the third trimester."

I guess I can't get over the feeling of things being out of my control. And like I've said before, maybe PgAL brain doesn't shut off until you hold Baby in your arms...

Anyone else feel like this, especially if you're in the home stretch?

    Thank you for your reassurance and wisdom, ladies. It feels good just to know that others understand. And you're so right, parenting is going to bring a whole set of new worries, so I might as well learn to work through them.
