stillbirth

[xovo_tiara]

Hi , I am currently 22 weeks and 4 days , i saw my baby girl at 18 weeks and she was healthy , she even measured a few days ahead , the doctor said she was pretty big. She moves around constantly.  But for whatever reason I keep thinking about stillbirth. It makes me really nervous and not sure what to do. This is my first baby so everyone says it's first time mom worries.  Can anyone help ease my mind ?

I am having my c section on Thursday and still have these thoughts and its jot even my first. I think the reason being for most moms to be is because we can't physically see or keep an eye out on pur babies. We have no idea what's going on in there. Its nerve wracking. Its like when my 3 year old disappears into the bouncy house. If she takes two seconds to long I start freaking out inside even though I know she's probably OK. Its mothers instinct to be scared and want to protect.

I'm 39 weeks with my second baby girl. I have 7 days left, So far No problems with The baby during pregnancy and always a nice strong heartbeat. She moves alot everyday and I'm always feeling her, But I too still worry of something going wrong. It Is So hard to not worry. I Just can't picture myself being So lucky to bring home another healthy beautiful little girl. I can't picture what will She look like, Or picture myself actually going into labor... I feel like its taking So long. So For Some reason I am Just So nervous about her coming. I am anxious, impatient, and excited. I can't wait to finally feel those painful contractions That Tell me It's time to get her out of there . But I am definitely scared of something going wrong during The birthing process. I am trying to not think of It and leave It All in God's hands as It should be. I go in her room, look At All her things and make her move around as much as possible Just to keep The positive thoughts flowing. I can only hope and pray That All of us paranoid mommies have safe and healthy deliveries and get to meet our beautiful, happy, and healthy babies!

I too have those thoughts about stillbirth and birth defects. I actually know someone who had a stillbirth when she was so closed to her due date. I was like half way with my now 19 months old son and it just made me stress even more and worry a lot about it. Now I'm 24 weeks with my third and last and I have those thoughts from time to time, but what helps me it's feeling the baby move. Plus he is also a very active little guy at only 24 weeks and my doctor said that an active baby is at healthy baby so just feeling him eases my mind.

I'm 16 weeks and I worry about that and birth defects all the time! My husband bought me a fetal doppler and it has helped so much! It was relatively cheap and has granted me so much piece of mind!
