I’ve turned into the worrying mother. Seriously.
My first 2 pregnancies weren’t really that eventful. With Noah, I had a reminder to drink my water: a scare that shouldn’t have happened but other than that, it was a smooth pregnancy. Hayden was pretty much the same way. I mean I had my normal first pregnancy scares and freakouts but who doesn’t?
This is my 3rd pregnancy. So why do I feel like I’m freaking out at least 3 times a day? I worry about making sure I pay attention to whether or not she is kicking. I worry that I will confuse kicking with gas.. yeah, it happens a lot. If you’ve been pregnant, you know. I hold my breath at every doctor’s appointment before we hear the heatbeat.. even if we’ve already heard her kicking away at the doppler.
I guess its probably normal to feel this way but it isn’t really for me. I feel like I spend way too much time during the day worrying about her when I have tons of other things to obsess about. Its been 21 weeks of this and I don’t think it will lighten up at all.
Any ideas on how to help me obsess just a little bit less?
