why do I keep thinking something bad is gonna happen to me and my baby at birth 😑 so annoying I keep thinking of…

awwww thanks hun @mrsripper

I was exactly the same girls ...... absolutely terrified even though I had 2 previous healthy labours but for some reason always panicked, I just think it's a protective instinct we get as mums to protect and it's overwhelming!! don't worry to much you and baby will be absolutely fine hun @leanne2016

True @leanne2016

once I'm in labour il.be ok. it's just the waiting and wondering.....

if we're never in control we always think of the worst @mich77

It's weird I think us women we love being in control and labour/pregnancy is the only one we can't control @mich77

deffo @leanne2016....I wonder why we do it...

Oh wow same as me @mich77 it's very annoying

Oh my god I'm exactly the same @leanne2016 @megsssimo it's all I think about these days and I've had three successful deliveries in the past!! I don't remember being this nervous before. I'm hoping it passes cos I feel like I may have a panic attack when the thoughts creep in. I'm worried something may happen to me and il leave my family behind. 😟

Yeah thanks @stacey804

It's easier said then done, but best to try and think positive. At least you will be getting monitored and getting the best care. Xx

yea especially when my mw said I have risk factors so I'll be induced at 39 weeks @stacey804

Yeah, I have noticed younger girls do find it easier. I think the more life you've lived and people you've been around you start to hear stories and the worry really sets in xx

awwww exactly I don't remember thinking of all this with my first @stacey804 but maybe I was just to young and an abortion wasn't a option coz I couldn't think of doing such a thing

It worries you more when you know someone it's happened to doesnt it? My oh cousins wife had a stillborn on her due date :/ makes me feel so nervous, and I panic over every little change xx

Yeah so had my oh his first partner had a still born at 6 7 months so I'm always thinking of it @stacey804

Yeah the bad thoughts are always there, but the positive ones sometimes outweigh the negative ones. My family and oh family have had bad experiences with pregnancy, I feel so anxious xx

😑😢😢 it's so annoying coz all u wanna do is enjoy pregnancy but how? if all I keep thinking about is still birth @stacey804

Natural reaction I guess? Like when you first find out your pregnant and miscarriage is always a worry, those feelings just never go away they just develop xx

It's fucking annoying @megsssimo I don't know why I'm so scared

Im the same 😪
