3 days until induction. Super anxious and weepy for no reason.

I need someone to tell me how ridiculous I am being. I'm assuming that this anxiety is being caused by my lack of restful sleep the last week. The funny thing is, I'm not anxious about labor and delivery. I'm worried that the baby will be born with some type of birth defect that couldn't be detected during pregnancy or something. There is absolutely no reason for me to think that there is anything wrong with my baby. All of our ultrasounds have been perfect. We don't have a family history of genetic abnormalities or anything like that and I am under 30 with one healthy child already. I haven't even worried about anything like this during this pregnancy until a few days ago when I read something about birth defects that freaked me out, but now it's all I can think about. I am so ready to meet my sweet daughter and see that she is perfectly healthy that I could cry.

 | Comment from stickybean1976 » Posted Jan. 17, 2015 6:41pm Your not being silly. I think about things like this too. But ultrasounds are very good at picking up chromosome abnormalities and often this is when the baby doesn't make it through that first trimester. I find I think more about things like a cleft lip or birth marks on the face. I'm sure your baby will be beautiful. You will be lucky enough to meet him/her in a few days. Best of luck. Just remember your baby is created from the love of you and your husband and god so they will be perfect in their own way. |
