worried mess

[mommyofaria]

Hello ladies....I'll be 27 weeks tomorrow finally entering my third trimester!! Yay....but the closer I get the more worried I get....I'm a ftm and I just keep having a bunch of horrible thoughts....like when I don't feel my daughter move at certain times I panic thinking something is wrong or I'm not catching it...I think about stillbirth and what if that happens.  I also think about going into labor too early....I just feel horrible sometimes and cry my eyes out because I'm so afraid of somethin happening to my baby girl.....I haven't even met her yet but from the first moment I saw her movement on the ultrasound and her little hands and feet she was just perfect to me...That was when it really hit me that I'm going to be a mommy :)....I'm so in love with my daughter and I honestly wouldn't make it if something happened to her......I guess I'm just a worried emotional wreck :/.....I wanna go natural with my birth but that too scares me because I think is it best for her?...sighs...I don't know what to do sometimes...thanks for listening ladies

I am going thru the same thing! i will wake up my husband after a dream about our son being born and not making it or if i feel a sharp pain i freak out, iv actually cried myself to sleep a few nights in a row thinking of the bad stuff. im going to have a totally natural birth, i want a water birth. i have actually txt my husband while he's at work and said omg he's not moving please come home take me in and what not and the nice guy he is says he's probably sleeping give him another 30 mins and if he doesn't move call me and ill come home and sure enough in 15 mins he starts moving, if you want go by a stethoscope and u can listen to her heart beat when ever you want yr far enough along u could hear it! yr husband should b able to hear it if the room is totally silent and he puts his head on yr tummy... clearly we wish we could do that but its a little hard lol. iv found that wen i take a bath and don't cover my tummy my little boy moves a lot so maybe try that to wake her up or grab a flashlight and shine it on yr belly to get her to move it may not always work but its fun to try ! hope i have given u a few ideas to help ease yr mind!
