Worried & Stressed

Okay, so I'm totally excited about my baby being here in less than 5 weeks!! But is it normal for me to be worrying out of my mind?!? Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna love my child regardless, but I'm just freaking out like, what if something went wrong during development or goes wrong during delivery and my child is mentally handicapped, some type of physcial defomity, cerebral palsy, or possibly death. I just worry all the time and I'm making myself sick. Did anybody else worry like this?!? I read so many stories about babies dying, and I just couldn't handle that.... how do I calm down and relax?!?

I worry like that to. And I get on those kicks where I start reading stuff on the internet and freak myself out. My fiance thinks I'm nuts..I guess it's just a pregnancy thing, my friend worried all the time to. It seems to get worse the closer I get to my date!

I worry like crazy until I actually see and hold my babies. I remember with my second I went ino labor and while we were getting ready to go to the hospital I just sat there crying cause I was scared, and couldn't believe I was doing this all again..., now that my kids are getting older, I worry all the time that someone will kidnap them or one day we'll discover they have cancer or something terrible like that, or they'll be in an accident that will paralyze them...oh my gosh the list goes on and on. That's part of motherhood though...the worry I don't think it will EVER go away
