Oh hunni a perfectly normal emotion when my waters started leaking at 26 weeks with Claire I was convinced it was Anthony all over again especially when they confirmed labour and I was transferred to Melbourne even now I still worry every single day and like you I even had myself convinced something was wrong last week although passing out all the time isn't helping curb that!!
Great that you are still feeling nice strong kicks too my midwife well old midwife told me with Bellah when I was worried about limited movement that's it's very normal for it to slow during late pregnancy as they run out of room to kick and twist around. Before you know it you will be holding your beautiful healthy crying pooping feeding bubba and ianto will be looking down so proud of his little family and so proud of how strong his mumma can be and don't feel ashamed of ANYTHING baby loss is a hard thing to live with i think you're doing amazingly well
I can't begin to understand what you must be going through, I worried a lot with DD, but have never had to go through the experience of losing a baby so I didn't have that extra worry iykwim.
Talk to scott, I'm sure he would want to help you in any way he can, and who knows he might be feeling the same way too. We're all here for you, and looking forward to Cookie's BA, you're doing a wonderful job.
Oh darling I have so been there... I understand the planning, the well thought out stuff. The day Imogen was born I hadn't felt a kick for 48 hours or so - I had refused all dopplers because it wasn't going to change the outcome. When she was born alive it was shocking to me. I was absolutely shocked that I had a live baby.
What you are feeling is very usual. How you get through is a day at a time & letting it go. Knowing that no amount of worrying will change the outcome. That the most likely outcome is a live baby. That apart from a kick chart & listening to your inner Wisdom this is all you can do. Let it go.
But any Woman who has been where you have been knows this is far easier said than done. Just keep talking to us, keep reaching out & we will be here.
