stillbirth

Am I the only mommy to be that is constantly worried about the health and well-being on your little baby??? I'm constantly worried about stillbirth and about how I can prevent it... Ugh I just wanna hold my baby already and know everything will be okay. (I'm 25 weeks)

May32015 Same here.  With my first I Never slept because when she slept i watched over her. But ive heard that giving them pacifiers to sleep with helps reduce the possibility of sids. Not sure how effective it is but my first always did have one. @ckendra38 i am sorry to hear about your loss, i cant imagine going through that experience. I pray that we all have healthy happy babies and your right, its definitely not good to worry ourselves and put stress on ours and the babies bodies.

My first child was born still at 36 1/2 weeks 4 years ago. At 20 weeks I was told he had acrania and couldn't survive outside the womb. It was a very hard time, and took years for us to decide to have another child. I am a day short of 39 weeks and am just now really starting to break about it. I told myself everything is okay and held myself together real well, but now it's just starting to hit me. I keep getting confused about what to expect... Its draining all my energy.

But we all need to remember to keep our heads up. The stress is not good on our bodies or our babies.

I'm 36 weeks and all I do is worry about it.. I'm also really worried about SIDS, I've looked into getting one of that monitors that will keep track of her breathing while she's laying down

I'm 25 weeks and I constantly worry too. I worry the most when I get belt pains and then don't feel my little boy move for a while. He always reassures me that he's okay though. I just want him out so I won't worry about it anymore and can hold him :)

I think I may get a Doppler so I have some reassurance that she is okay cause I just worry myself sick. I hope you both have healthy babies and will pray everything goes as planned.
