[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks all. I know that the fears are founded, and that I really can't do much to change it, and I really like the reference to "infertility survivors" and living on a different timeline. That makes a lot of sense. I spent so many years as a reckless 20 something dodging pregnancy and not trying very hard to do so that when it came time, I wondered if I was even able to conceive. This is so totally foreign to me that I'm stunned. I'm almsot 39, so I'm also terrified of the age factor. There's nothing in my history to indicate any "known" factors to cause a miscarriage, i.e. no endo, no fibroids, no other issues. But it still doesn't make that feeling like someone is going to take this away, go away.

To the last OP about being terrified of SIDS, lord, that is going to be me. I wake up in the middle of the night if I don't hear my precious little snoring dog and I shake him awake (this is not normal) sometimes. I know that whatever is going to happen will happen, but man I just want this little one (or two) to hold on tight.

I also heard some terrifying things yesterday from my SIL who is a fertility nurse that all those tests of amnio and such are not only high risk to the baby, but they aren't even close to accurate! She said she knows 2 people close to her were told they had a baby with downs, and the baby was born 100% normal. Like I need that to worry about too. I meandered over to the Expectant Mother's thread to try to find some info on that, got scared, and then promptly came back here, my safe place, because those ladies are super high strung over there. Opinions on amnio will fly and cause such a ruckus. Serenity now Serenity now, go back to TTC...[/quote]
