Anyone else just so scarred of something going wrong?

  Yep. I have had a previous loss. I still haven't opened certain things in case I have to return them if something goes wrong. It's hard to picture my baby girl so, idk, I'm worried. But I'm also a believer. Praying God protects her and I during her transition to this side of my uterus!

  Our little guy was born Friday and we purchased the Snuza hero which clips onto the diaper and monitors breathing and movement. An alarm goes off after 20 seconds of no breathing. Gives us peace of mind when he is sleeping.

  I am 39 weeks today also and just for the past day or two all I can think about are things that could go wrong. I've been torturing myself, reading stories of stillbirths. I have had a very low risk pregnancy also and these fears just came on so suddenly. It's terrifying I too feel like I am just sucking the joy out of such a happy time.

  Smccall3838- im so sorry you have had to suffer a loss. I also pray for my daughters protection ( and will add your dd to my prayers). I feel similar in the inability to picture bringing her home. I guess we just have to have faith!

  JLynnG86- you sound just like me. Prayers our babies come out healthy! My husband is a complete optimist and I am such a ..... I like to say realist but I do always at least entertain the worst case scenario, so maybe im a little pessimistic.

  I'm so sorry for all the losses on here. (hugs)! I, too, am terrified of something going wrong and of a stillbirth. No real reason why, every report on baby has been positive and healthy though this fear grips at me a lot of times. I just try to remind myself that the statistics are so low! Good luck everyone!

  This is something I've been fearing for most of my pregnancy. First it was miscarriage, then it was fear of something in the anatomy scan, now it's still birth. But I have to remind myself is, I worried about about all these things...but they are in Gods hands only and he's protected my son and I this whole time so I have to have faith that he will continue to do so! I've had a pretty normal thankfully boring pregnancy. Every doctors appointment calms my nerves a little more

  I had two losses before getting pregnant this time, so I worry about stillbirth a lot. I try not to let my mind get carried away with thinking about it though. I also worry that because I had to take medicine for morning sickness most of this pregnancy that it will have done something to hurt baby. I've had many ultrasounds and a smooth pregnancy so far though.

  I am really happy to see I'm not alone. I too am fearing the worst for no reason. I have also had a low risk pregnancy so far. Prayers that all of us have a smooth delivery and healthy babies.

  I am in the same boat. Pregnancy has been very routine, but I'm so afraid that we all missed something or somethings gonna go wrong.... I just love my little girl so much already, I can't bear the thought of anything bad happening.

  I just want to encourage you all and say I think these kinds of fears are totally normal. But also, they are just that--fear. Try not to let it take over & steal the joy of bringing that precious new life into this world. Adding stress, worry, and fear to your life can't cause nor can it prevent anything from happening anyway. Take it one day at a time & claim your authority over those thoughts!! You are all strong, wonderful mommas and I am praying all will go well
