Pregnancy stories and now I can’t help but feel scared

It seems that people around you feel more compelled to share their pregnancy stories with you voluntarily… from overdue to losing their kid to stillborn. Lately I ask felt compelled to read about an article abt it happening to an unfortunate mother 8-9 months, also wanted to know what went wrong… I feel a little overwhelmed sometimes having lost one in the past in tri 1 without anyone other than my hb knowing. I am not annoyed by these people just I can’t help but feel worried now that I’m 33 weeks…… just sharing my thoughts I guess

Hey mummy every pregnancy is unique and different. So it’s logically impossible to compare both pregnancies that you has and are having. Of course emotionally we fear the unknown because we want the child and pregnancy so badly, we fear to lose. But you will be heartened to know that 33 weeks even if premature, survival chance is still quite good with technology nowadays. It can be considered a viable labor. So long you do your utmost to keep yourself and baby healthy, you do your best already then the rest we cannot control, we have to leave it up to the higher power. If listening to scary pregnancy stories are not helpful then DONT listen to them, simple. Keep your positivity and faith up and geared towards the healthiest condition you can be in for the sake of your baby!

I feel you!!! I’m very worried and paranoid too. When I didn’t feel her kick I actually booked an appointment on the same day to see any gynae that was open just to check…. Of course she started kicking like crazy the next day 🥲 I don’t know when to be too paranoid and when to let it slide. It’s my first time perhaps that’s why. May all our children be protected and delivered safely. Hang in there you!

Totally understand the feeling! I was in the same situation as you. Everything i read esp on tiktok is negative things abt birth. Believe that every pregnancy is different. Just because it happen to others, doesnt mean itll happen to you

For me, i will see cute babies picture or videos. Talk to my baby. Lastly, enjoy the last few weeks of the pregnancy. Have faith in your baby.
