currently 31 weeks pregnant. does/did anyone else constantly worry about their baby being stillborn/having complications whilst giving birth and baby not making it? i’m constantly having intrusive thoughts about going in to have my baby and her being stillborn or just things going wrong/her having health complications. i just can’t stop thinking about it and the thoughts just come into my head all the time. it really is heartbreaking and it’s making me so upset/a nervous wreck. has anyone else experienced this? a couple of the things include
worry about baby being stillborn
worry about baby being born then there being complications and her dying
worry about getting home from the hospital i.e if taxi or whoever’s taking us home crashes or someone crashes into us and baby dies
worry about baby having health problems
worry about going out the house with baby and a car crashing into pram and her dying
worry about someone breaking into our home and kidnapping/killing baby
there’s been a lot on facebook about teenagers harassing people out and about at the moment, so worrying about being out with baby and a group of teenagers harassing me and being violent to me and me trying to stop them and then they start hitting baby and they kill her
worrying about going down to essex to visit family while still pregnant and getting into a crash on the motorway, i get out of the car and i’m pouring with blood from my vagina and baby dies
worry about SIDS
I’d just like to mention the fact that i’m not just worrying about them happening, the intrusive thoughts are so bad that it’s actually happening in my mind, it’s like i’m watching it play out. anytime i close my eyes to try and sleep these scenarios pop into my head. (not just when i’m trying to sleep though, it does happen throughout the full day)
