Well it finally happened!

[tashbarnes87]

Hi Guys, i knew it was only a matter of time before i turned all my worry on to the baby. I have really started to panic about the babys cord and keep having horrible thoughts about the baby dying etc. He has been having a really quiet day to day and its almost like i am waiting for something bad to happen, Its really painful to think of but i cant help it. I know this isnt HA but it has gone from extreme worrying about myself to worrying about him. I dont know what i will do if i lose him :(

hi
I spend a good few hours of every day worrying about my baby! (I am now 29 weeks) I have even paid for a few private scans just to check up on it (and yes even afetr all those scans we still cant tell if it s aboy or a girl)

Is this your first baby?
I have two older ones and to be honest I think that anxiety has HELPED me look after them in alot of ways. Anxiety is NORMAL when it comes to your kids and to be honest I think it works out better when you just go with the flow and accept that every single thing your baby does now until the day you die will cause you to panic! BUT the imprtant thing is to allow yourself to panic breifly and then move on,

and please if you find out how to do this let me know how!!!

I still worry about mine and they are nearly 18, nearly 17 and nearly 8 now.:huh: Doesn't seem two minutes since I had the 18 year old.:D

I'm sure your baby will be absolutely fine Tash - it's normal to worry when your pregnant.:hugs: :hugs:

Its also common to dream about crazy things too when you're pregnant, some dreams about the baby can be quite scary tash, but its only hormones. Dont forget what we all said a few weeks ago, that the bigger the baby grows the less you will feel him moving. He's fine but im not gonna say dont worrry coz you will worry until you have him...and then worry about him for the rest of your life lol!

Take care

[tashbarnes87]

Hi guys, just got back from my scan and yay the placenta has moved out of the way completely which is ace so i can have a natural birth. I am 34 weeks and he is weighing ......... 5lb 8oz she said 'o he is going to be a big baby!! im so surprised lol apparently between 8 and 9lbs. His head is measuring at 36 weeks too. It was so nice to see him but ouch lol!

:hugs: I was a complete nightmare to be honest, what would be termed as a neurotic mother. I wrote down every ounce of milk they drank, to what food they had at every meal, so I made sure they had all the ntrients they needed. Atleast for the first 6 months or so. Mine are 14 & 12 now, & eat like rubbish yet are as fit as fiddles!
As they get older, it does get easier you know, it just brings different things to worry about xxxxxxxxx

thats great news!

Glad to hear your baby is healthy and big! My first was 10.5 lbs at birth. Needless to say, they called him the toddler in the hospital nursery! But with both my pregnancies I worried more than most. It's so hard to let go of once you go down that road. Just think of how well you are taking care of yourself and how many perfectly healthy babies are born to much worse circumstances. Baby will be fine! :)
