Don't worry about the umbilical coil, it's very common for it to wrap loosely around the baby.
As a ftm i also spend most of my pregnancy worrying about it but figure it could happen since my baby love to flip around a lot toward the end. And sure enough, she was born with it around her neck and the doctor just flip it out of the way as the baby come out. I didn't know about it until my hubby mention it afterward. The doctor deal with that all the time. Just listen to the nurses and doctor and you will all be fine :)

I find it very difficult no to think about the labor. Then i did the mistake of going to watch videos on YouTube, i regret it. i haven't planned anything out whatever happens, happens. i just hope my baby boy will be fine.

Im 28 weeks and i feel like its taking forever! Im worried about labor too but i try and focus on meeting my boy. Thinking about labor isnt much fun. I started worrying about a "birth plan" til i realized you really cant plan out what could happen. We can think of IDEAL scenerios but not banking on it. Just hoping for a healthy bb :)

I'm trying my best to be calm.
And iwould rather be alone without my husband and mom they would just make me more nervous though i feel it would be to selfish of my part. My mother would probably walk out she would panic also.

I just want things to go smoothly and as calmly as possible, im trying not to stress myself out about anything but ive also made plans incase something does happen... i.e if something is wrong my dad is to come into me and be with me because he will keep me calm and tell me not to be stupid, other than that it will be me, my bf and the midwife! (My mums not coming in cos she will panic loads and pass out lol)
