So afraid of pre-term labor!

FTM over here and I'm super nervous about pre-term labor. I'm 32 weeks & 2 days and as much as I'm soooo done being pregnant I don't want my little guy to come out just yet. Oh and the days are practically dragging along. I can't imagine I'm the only one who feels like this!

  • I had so many freaky premie dreams during second trimester. It helped to read Ina May's birth stories.

  • Dont worry about it. Even if you think about it this way, your LO is so far along now, they'd be just fine even if it did happen. Please dont worry.
  • Labor is a funny thing. It cannot be predicted. You can have dilation for weeks and be "overdue", or go from 0-10 in a matter of hours. I understand the fear that the baby will come sooner than you are ready for, and the issues that it may face, but it isn't so terribly common.

    And as a mom who had.a pre-term baby, that week before they were born that I was trying to keep them in, it was a bit surreal, but everything was fine. The scariest part was when I took them home and it hit me that this kid is forever with me, whether i know what I am doing or not.
