What do you fear

Last night I had a mini panic attack in the middle of the night...  Thinking OMG I am about to bring a little girl into this world... Now I have 2 and got a divorce (spouse cheated) and I don't want to be divorced again.  Panicking about what I would do if this happened and I had to raise 3 girls on my own...  the consequences it would have on them... now there is no reason for me to fear this other than the history with my ex and pg hormones...  then I started worrying about giving birth and all that can go wrong and if I am going to be able to nurse... well it turned into a night of worry haha...  Are you guys worrying about anything?

My worries are being able to manage enough quality time to consistently share with all 3 children, and saving enough for college for them and retirement for us. Luckily those are still years away, but everyone says we have to be saving for it all now. Yikes!

OK, but don't laugh too hard.  This is me preg with DD.  I look about the same right now but a little older, a little uglier. Oh, and my boobs are much better:)

Oh yea, I also worry about how my body is going to look after this one.  Shallow, I know.  Boobs should be OK after my lift and implants but my stomach is going to look like one of those Charpay (SP)? dogs.  

Does it get a lot worse after #2?

My worries of the day are birth defects and SIDS.  Next week it will be something else.

I worry a little about DH, since all of my stupid MCs have taken their toll on our marriage.  We've seen a councelor and things seem to be back on track but a newborn can be challenging to any relationship.  My DH is an A$$&0L3 when he doesn't get enough sleep.  I am bracing myself!

I too worry about those bills!!  My dh's taking paternity leave but of course it's w/a pay cut - aauggh!!  The thing that's worrying me the most of all is what my almost grown children are up to - I have no control or very little say-so over them!!  I should have the 'freedom' to worry about my new baby :-(((.

Isnt it a shame that a country like the united states doesnt even offer us a paid maternity leave... I think almost all of the other countries too.. aparently our society doesnt value us :o(  It really makes me mad

Gosh Meli I think crazy like that too sometimes.  Picture this.....I worry about me ...just me... being like the happiest mama alive with a sixteen and a twenty year old plus a new baby on the way.  Now time to go into delivery and have my baby with my daughter there and BF there also......just then I start to breath heavily, and even more heavily to where I pass out and they try and revive me and I don't wake up!  That scares the holy sh!t out of me!!!  What would happen to my baby girl (sixteen year old)  I wouldnt want her to go to her real father that
would look at her like a dollar sign!  My son would be in complete tears and my BF would be stuck with a baby and not knowing exactly what to do(his first child) I start crying and breathing heavily just thinking of that happening to me.....my worst fear ever!!!!!
