Im about 8 weeks away from giving birth.

Not a high risk pregnancy, scans have been fine etc so why am i worrying so much.

Im worrying about abnormalities/ health issues/disabilities....

What are things that dont get picked up on until birth?

Not really sure about the health issues. I'm sure there are some rare cases, but more likely they would of seen it on the scan. Did you have a test for down syndrome etc.?
I was exactly the same. Constantly worrying something will go wrong and was terrified of stillbirth. No, I have a beautiful, healthy 15 weeks old baby girl and I'm terrified of sids. This is motherhood for you, it's always something to worry about...

I've just given birth at 36+6 I was also v worried. She has a squished foot turned outwards from being big and that came out fully at a right angle outwards, however, it wasn't fused & only at 2 days old now it's straightening up a fair bit so won't take long to sort 🥰I had scans every 3 weeks & not picked up except being big (born at 7lb 5.5oz)
