I can't offer much advice other than to say I've been there and worrying isn't a "premonition" that something will go wrong. I try to remember this and also that I was scared to death from 26 weeks on w/#2 as we fought PTL, but she arrived safely and perfectly healthy (albeit a few weeks early) and I've had no real troubles this time around, so IT CAN BE DONE. I see a counselor 2x month but honestly, it's not really helping me -- what will help is this baby arriving safely in the next few weeks.

Hugs to you for all the stress, A BTDT #3 Mom
