Plagued by Pregnancy Worries? Our Readers Write!

Name: Laura • Due Date: 07/23/2006

I am in my 31st week of pregnancy and always worried that something may happen to me or the baby boys. I look as if I am 9-1/2 months pregnant with some severe strech marks. I am worried that when it comes time to deliver that something will happen and I will have to have a c-section and lose alot of blood. If you lose enough you have to get a blood transfusion and that is what really bothers me. If you get one they reqire you to come in every six months to have a aids test done for the next 7 years after that. They say it can show up at any point. I am also scared because I have never had any kind of operation or any reason for them to get close to me with a knife.

I am so scared that my baby will not be healthy. I know that I am a pretty healthy person, but for some reason this is all I'm thinking about.

I am 23 weeks at the moment. This week I have had several small episodes of bleeding. Was checked out at the hospital and they said the placenta might be slightly loose and that's why a little bit of blood comes away. Or there might be no explanation at all for it. (It only happens after I have been to the toilet- not weeing!) I am seeing a obstretrician in 2 weeks for a check up but am quite worried about this in the meantime.
