Worries

[musicchan]

I suppose I just can't enjoy being pregnant. I've definitely been more looking forward to the act of being a parent than the process of getting there, but as much as I try to calm down and just let every day go by, I find myself anxious a lot

I will make sure not to visit so you can avoid the traditional trip to the hospital. :-)

Well, you could come visit in August, just in case the baby takes it's own sweet time. ;) Then we'd WANT to go to the hospital!

I found my favorite part of being pregnant was when I could first start feeling the baby move around. It was a wonderful thing to know that I was developing a new life inside of me.

So I guess I'm suggesting that you do your best to look for positive things to take your mind off the stress. You got this. :)

I was telling someone today that I think I will get less anxious the closer it gets to the due date because the risks will be less that that point. I won't be as worried about losing the baby and will just be worrying about making sure everything is reading; that sort of worry will be a relief honestly.

Knowing this is easy. Convincing my feelings of this is very hard. T_T

I try not to worry and I use cues (no bleeding, no real pain) to remind myself that everything is going okay. It's just so hard to stop worrying sometimes!

Now that I'm about half way though, I'm trying to think more about after. Normal worries like, how do you change a diaper? How often do you wash a newborn? You know, regular things that new parents might not be prepared for. It shifts my attention from "will I carry this baby to term?" and more to "okay, what do we do once we have the baby?" It helps sometimes.
