What fears and thoughts did you have going through your mind while being preg.

I had a lot of fears. I had a miscarriage two months before getting pregnant with the son I have now. Therefore, I worried that he wouldn't make it as well. Every time he would quit moving, I would freak out and rush to the ER to have them check him. I ended up going into labor 6 weeks early...so then of course I started to worry more that he wouldn't make it. I was in labour for 37 hours, they couldn't get the epidural to work on me and they said the baby was sideways so if they couldn't get him to turn I would have a C-Section. I was scared out of my wits. However, at the last minute the little guy turned around and we got him here okay. He was born at 4lbs 11oz. He is now healthy as can be at 17lbs. Ten months old now, and the joy of my life.

I am pregnant now and have alot of worries like when i get a cramp or something I think somethings wrong or when shes born is she going to have diabetes like me.

Since right now I'm 10 weeks pregnant, I keep worrying that I may lose the baby. I haven't really had complications with the previous two pregnancies, but I'm still worried. I think it's natural to worry. I have my first ob appointment tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be okay then.

I was just afraid that my child would be born with disabilities or missing fingers or what have you. I think most moms worry that. It's normal but don't think so much about it and just eat healthy and take good care of yourself. All my kids turned out to be perfect.

I was worried that my unborn baby would have any defect or disorder, worried of how I have to teach them and worried if I can supply sufficiently to everything they need. I always think of silly things and I don't know if this happens to all pregnant women.

I didn't worry about anything that I can remember, but I did have a dream that I had the most adorable, beautiful little girl. Then she turned around one day and was this UGLY little boy with a mouthful of buck teeth, yelling "sammwiches!" at me. That was so freaking weird! I ended up having the most darling looking little boy, and he doesn't know how to say sandwich yet. :-)

You know what - I was eighteen years old and I can honestly say I didn't worry about anything! It never occurred to me that anything could go wrong. I just sailed through the whole thing (including the birth) with no fears about anything. I think the fact that I was quite naive probably helped with all that mind you. Even when my daughter was a baby I never worried about anything either. Yet now my daughter is grown up and has a baby of her own I worry all the time. I was more worried about things when she was pregnant than my daughter was!

My biggest fear for some reason was that one of my children would be born with down syndrome or autism or something like that . There are so many people in my area that are finding out that there is something wrong with their children and I see how it is a job for life when this happens . I love children and know I would love my child no matter what but believe it would take a lot of patience to raise a child with a disability for life and I am just not sure if I would be able to do this . I have a lot of respect for all the parents in the world who are able to do this on a day to day basis .

I have not gone through that stage heheh but by the words pregnant alone freezes me, i am really afarid of it lolz need to hire a womb for our child. Till now i can't even imagine giving birth heheh it really scares me, what scares me is that i'll die or the child will

i worried that something was gonna happen to my child while it was inside me i had to go in for non-stress test every week. also that i was gonna wake up one morning and big as a house. and i sure did too i woke up one morning and i had all kinds of stretch marks on my belly

I worried about a lot of things. I worried that my child would end up with epilepsy like me. I also worried that she or I would be harmed somehow during the birth. I was worried that I would be a good parent. But I begin to remind myself that no baby is born with a manual and there are several women out there just as scared as I. I took childbirthing classes and bonded with lots of other women and this helped me calm some of those nerves and focus on the fact that I was carrying a child.

i dont know anything about kids, so i was worried if i could do this and be able to take care of a kid. i didnt know what i was going to do with it when it got here. i worried about dropping her, leaving her somewhere, not hearing her when she cried, what to do if she was sick, when to take her to the hospital. i worried about the birth defects too, and the labor. i did it natural with no pain meds. i was scared to get a epidural because they messed my iv up so i didnt want them aroud my spine. i still dont know anything about kids so i take everything day by day. it took me almost a year to realize that the kid was mine and not someone elses. i know that sounds wierd, but now i wouldnt change anything.

I tried not to worry too much but that is almost impossible to do. I worried about miscarriage almost all the way till the baby would be viable outside the womb. I worried about how I would feel physically during the pregnancy - I had very nad hip pain at the end & could barely walk some days. I was afraid that I might somehow need to be put on bedrest & what that would do to me mentally & physically not being able to work. During one of our sonograms they found cp cysts on the baby's brain so then I worried about a chromosomal disorder. At the end I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabete & worried every time my blood sugar was elevated. I worried that maybe she would be ugly or have a hemangioma or any number of things. Also, labor & what life would be like after she was born. I also worried that my worry would negatively affect her.

I'm currently pregnant with my first child. I constantly worry about stupid things, when my doctor said my iron level was low I freaked. But I started to take a supplement and read in an article (Parenting magazine) that iron supplements can cause low birth weight and premature births (not true by the way). My mother is also very overprotective and possessive and I constantly worry that she will try to overpower me and my instincts as a mother. I've had several dreams even where my baby ends up being taken away from me by some unknown entity.

when i was pregnant i was constantly worrying if my child was going to be healthy or if anything was going to be wrong with my baby i use to have severe nightmares about my child being sick thank god he turned out to be healthy.

My cousin (who used to be engaged to a veterinarian) dreamed she gave birth to a horse! I only had awful fears in my dreams, but I would always dream my husband had cheated. I knew it was only a dream, but when I woke up, I'd tell him about it and then punch him in the back anyhow, just for good measure. I'd tell him, "And if you ever do, there's a lot more where that came from!" When I was awake though, my biggest fear wasn't about my unborn child but rather a huge empathy with or about other children who were hurt or abused or abandoned. I worked at a newspaper and had to hear a lot of horrible stories. I was hyper sensitive to anything about children and I cried a lot.

This sounds bad and I feel bad saying it but I prayed that my child wouldn't be deformed. I also worried alot with my first pregnancy that the baby would die in utero and I wouldn't know it. I worried about the typical stuff too like being a good mom and hoping that the baby likes me. But the first two things I worried about so much I would cry sometimes.
