is this normal (TW)

trigger warning : scary thoughts abt labor !!!

Is it normal or not normal to get really deep into thought about labor and scare yourself i’ve stopped myself from looking at stats and data of d3ath during/from labor but my mind does go there and i get really nervous and scared about the whole thing. Anybody have anything to say to help? Birth stories knowledge? anything helps especially from moms who have gone through labor already because.. Gold fricken medal you’re still here❤️

I can relate, feed yourself positive information regarding labour..it really is mind over matter. I was worried and ended up have the best birth experience ever it went so well I'd happily go back to that day and do it again lol...I didn't need to worry after all x

Once you’re actually in labor, I promise all the negative thoughts will disappear. Your mind will become focused on meeting your baby. Goodluck! 💕

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
