You'de think after being a mom twice before, that I wouldn't have them with #3. I still did. I think its something hormonal to make us watch our p's and q's.
Hang in there...you are already at full term, and you don't long to go.

I am 37 weeks along too, and this is commonly referred to as pregnancy insanity!! It will pass. i think i will go insane if i don't have this baby asap!! I am obsessed with ways to induce, but since this is my second most of the thoughts you mentioned already happened with my first, so now I just want to get to the reward part of my journey. Don't worry these are very real issues. you do need tho talk to someone about this and let them know what you would like done in certain cases, and make out a will to make sure to provide for your children in the event that they do need a guardian. But most of these things can wait until after the baby gets here and you have a chance to calm down. It will be OK

Relax! For every negative thought, what you do is replace it with a more positive one! Otherwise you are continually telling yourself something WILL go wrong, so you have to balance these thoughts out logically. It is almost certain that nothing will go wrong.
But I do understand...I used to get up in the middle of the night and look at my huge abdomen and think...this is never gonna be able to come out of little ole me! Well I was right, I had a caesarian and all was still fine! So even if there are hiccups...they can cope with those.
Practise your relaxation exercises and remember every time you think a bad thought you also have to think a good thought about it too!!
Congratulations on your upcoming wonderful event!

yep - i went through the same - in fact, i was like that for most of my pregnancy ! damned hormones make u fret about alsorts of things... and i used to be so weepy as well - even adverts on the tv could set me off ! the thing to be wary of is your emotions going from this level to being any worse than this. i suffered from post natal depression. it was difficult to admit it to the doctor, but it needed to be done. as for stopping the thoughts, the best way of doing that is to keep your mind busy with other stuff. i have hobbies like reading and art / crafts.... but there are other things u can do - the internet is a good distraction. at least u are nearly due now - not much longer to go til u have your baby in your arms. it'll all be worth it, and although labour is painful , it is totally worth it, and it's very rare for a mother to die during childbirth these days. u have trained doctors and nurses right there with u, and they'll have done it all loads of times before, so i'm sure it'll all be fine. good luck !

God I had this.
You need to ensure you TALK to your midwife about this as it is a strong sign of impending post natal depression, and if they know how you are feeling, will be there for you and make sure they keep check on you.
It's anxiety rather than depression. My daughter is 3 years old and for a year and a half (3 months while pregnant) I suffered terribly with these obsessive thoughts and worries.
Just make sure you talk to your health visitor or midwife.
Good ways to get these thoughts out of your head is firstly, remember YOU are in control of your thoughts. They can't take you over, YOU are in control. Simply think about something else - as simple as it sounds I know its hard.
Lay down, and picture something. My favorite is to start off with a big blank room and bit by bit I furnish it, decorate it how I want, put the ocean outside and a big beach.. that kind of thing.
good luck sweetheart, I know how awful and devastating these thoughts can be.

Dont worry about the way you are thinking, I thought I was going to die when I had my baby too, I think its normal. Its a big thing for you to have to go through. Also you have loads of hormones flying around your body. Just keep reminding yourself that thousands and thousands of women have babies every single day and the chance of anything happening to you are very very very very very very tiny. Try to enjoy the last couple of weeks of your pregnancy because before u know u will have a little gorgeous baby in its pram and u will be taking it for a walk!

At then end of pregnancy your hormones go mad. They key is to stay away from people and things that stress you out (like certain TV shows)
Try to take some quiet time each day and think about positives, particularly a positive birth -whatever that is for you.
Congrats!

Your body is preparing you for labor and the lack of sleep after. These feelings are fully normal and natural. Congrats you are now considered full term. Even if you went into labor right now your child will be fine! If these feelings get extreme or cause you to want to hurt yourself or the baby get help from a doctor right off. Good luck.

Well, I know what you mean. I am 30 weeks pregnant and worrry that my husband will get killed somehow, like in a car wreck, and I will be forced to raise my baby without a father. I also worry about my unborn baby's health and that she won't survive.
I think that worry like this to some degree is normal, but if you feel you are preoccupied or that it is efffecting your work or sleep or relationships, perhaps you need to get help.

Awww you cant stop them and they may get worse, but they are just silly irrational fears that most mothers go through. I kept freaking out that my children would be born as a cyclops or have 3 arms or their heads back to front!! I know it sounds funny but I'm serious and I was really worried and used to have bad nightmares about it. It's just our hormones, most of us go through it but just keep telling yourself "I'm being stupid, not gonna happen". Good luck, not long to go now! xx
