still birth

So in the beginning of my pregnancy, I was so scared of miscarriage , but now that I'm 34 weeks , I'm terrified of my baby dying in birth . I know it doesn't happen often but it is my worst fear. My friend actually went through this last year , she was around 39 weeks I think when she lost her baby,   so it makes it real to me. Does anyone else fear this?

I worry about stuff like that, too. I think moms just do worry, and especially if we have had a bad experience or had a friend that did! I've had 3 mc, so that fear was hard for me to overcome at the beginning. I'm 16 weeks now and I know mc chance is much lower than it was, but I still can't help thinking about all the possibilities. I just pray a lot and commit everything to God because there's nothing I can do myself to prevent anything.
