[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t had a stillborn baby, but I lost my first as an infant (not related, but I did develop pre-e during labor so I was scared to get it with #2). Every time I woke up (morning or middle of the night) I would drink some water and lay around for awhile and monitor movements. I wouldn’t start the day until I was satisfied baby was feeling normal. I had the luxury of wasting a lot of time doing this and it got me through. I used the count the kicks app pretty regularly too. I was always counting down until the next monitoring appointment. I also used simple mantras similar to what you’ve said to help myself in particularly anxious moments. I also saw a therapist. Honestly I was a total mess at the end. I know it’s not the case for everyone, but things greatly improved for me after the baby was on the outside. Big hugs and good vibes to you as you navigate this last stretch![/quote]
