*Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

Hi ladies! Today's question:

What about pregnancy scares you the most? the possible loss, the weight gain, the labor? If you already have a DC, is there anything from your last pregnancy that you are scared to repeat?!

To answer my own question, I am less scared of labor now that I have been through it and wound up with a C. I am scared of loss though. The first trimester is very scary to me, with all the uncertainty.

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

Since we had a loss last time so late in the game, that's what scares me most now. I'm terrified of having a loss at ANY point- though especially of thinking everything is fine and then finding out there are terrible complications.

That's what happened last time. At 16wks, we found out he was a boy.... next thing we knew, he wasn't going to make it. It was the biggest shock of my life. That's def what I'm most afraid of for next time The uncertainty and the fact that you really just never know.. and the sh!t really CAN hit the fan

I am afraid of the whole needle in the back thing! Owwwwie!

several friends of mine have gone through losses so that is always on my mind. And on a less serious note, I've always had stomach issues so I'm sure morning sickness would be really fun

To those of you who have suffered losses

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

To all of you who have suffered losses that is my biggest fear.

Other than that I am sure once I am closer to it labor will scare me. But honestly at this point the only thing scaring me is not bringing a healthy baby to full term.

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

i had alot of terrible complications my whole pregnancy with my daughter which resulted in preterm labor at 24 weeks that was unstoppable till i recieved a t-pump and sent home on bedrest and home monitoring system. then pre eclampsia and an emergency c-section and then almost dieing during the section. I think all of this is whats scaring me 10fold then the first time because now i have DD to worry about. what will happen to her if im in the hospital for mulitpul days like last time, what if im on bed rest, what if i die duruing the delivery... uggh EVERYTHING is worse this time

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

having another loss..everything else does not compare to me

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

Loss scares me too.


....I'm also afraid of post pardom. I've had depression/anxiety issues (meds and all, and I'm off now and actually doing ok...) but I read so much about PP and I just hope I can get through it if I have it.

The needle in the back and gaining TOO much weight

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

loss, needles/iv, tearing

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

Loss, gaining weight, tearing

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

a loss is very scary to me.

I also have anxiety and so I am always thinking that I am going to have some complications that could kill me or cause me to become ill. I hear stories like that one someone posted recently about the woman who died shortly after birth because pregancy caused her to have heart problems. While I know these cases are rare, they terrify me.

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

getting preggo, and keeping it in for 9 months w/o any issues..

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

I guess just being uncomfortable whether it be from weight gain, back/neck pain, getting sick, having probs w/teeth......etc, etc.

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

Labor, i think... although i might be more scared of a c-section...

a few years ago my sister was telling me about hers and i felt nauseous just hearing it... but if she can do it, so can i... she passed out when she got her ears pierced lol

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

For the ladies that are scared of the needle:
For me, it just felt a little weird for a moment and then like a little muscle cramp for about 5 seconds and then utter bliss

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

I am petrified of a loss. They are so common but the late term ones scare me the most. One of my bff had a loss at 38 week, ughhhhh.

2nd fear is morning sickness, etc.

Re: *Tuesdsay 12/21 QOTD*

not making it to the hospital in time. With DD I barely made it to the hospital and there was no time for my epi.
