Seriously, I'm just so anxious about this whole thing. It seems weird since I've been through the birth process before and everything was just fine! But I'm finding all new things to worry about!

On top of my own worries, my husband came home from work today and says, "I think it's finally hit me that we're having another baby!...We still need to do this and this and this..." haha! Poor guy--it's his last semester of school, so he's just had a ton to think about.

Is anyone else feeling apprehensive? I'd like to know I'm not alone! lol

SAFE to going home.

Well, most of the time I'm fine - then once in a while I get these huge bouts or worrying about every possibility under the sun. I just try to roll w/ it & keep in mind that I've done that each time. Hang in there - it is a stressful time!

I also go back and forth between feeling ready and thinking "What are we doing?!?" I went easily from 1 to 2 but this time the thought of going from 2 to 3 is a bit over whelming at times. I'm not really worried about the L&D process- it's the aftermath that gets me!

Add me to the list of being a little apprehensive. Things are finally starting to get done, but I still have a LONG ways to go until we are completely ready for the baby's arrival. I am trying to get the more important things done so that if he decides to come early, we will be more prepared and can take care of the other things once we are home.

I am very worried but also excited. I am scared of the whole labor thing and panicked about DH having to leave and being by my self with out little one. This is defiantly NOT how I envisioned my first PG.

Yes, I get these moments of intense panic every once in a while. About the labor, about coordinating where Rachel will be while I'm in labor, and about actually taking care of a newborn and my sweet little 3-year-old. It's all rather overwhelming at times! I too, try to focus on the positive and not be too worried, but it is hard. I know we can do it, but it is scary at times. You are definitely not alone!!

I think these moments are normal too. Yesterday, was my 1st real pregnancy break down. I just had too much to think about and I started freaking out about everything. I mean...things that are really beyond my control. However, after a good nights sleep I feel much better today and my nerves have settled. Like Ann-Maire said...try to focus on the positive. Things always have a way of working out!!

I'm with everyone else, a little bit terrified! I've been through this once before, but now that I know with my diagnosis just how high risk this is, it's scary! Not the labor itself, but the week or so afterwards, knowing what could potentially happen to me and the baby. But my situation is much different than any of you lucky ladies!

I'm not scared at all for the birth, but I still have a long ways to go. Once it starts getting closer, I'm sure I will start freaking out, but right now I just want this pregnancy to be OVER! I'm mostly freaked about having 3 kids, now that terrifies me!
