Paranoia and pregnancy don't mix

I am the kind of person who over- analyzes everything.  This is especially accentuated when I am hormonal or stressed.  Yea, I'm not having issues or freak-outs at all.  Course all these newsletters and books are meant to keep you informed in case there is a problem.  Is that what they do for me?  NO!  They scare me to death and convince me that I'm going to have the baby any minute!  Last week I had a scary moment, turned out to be nothing.  (but i did get to see baby!)  I honestly think the baby dropped Saturday but it seems too soon.  Now i'm having another symptom but don't know if I should call or just wait til my regular appointment on Wednesday.  I don't want to be that paranoid pregnant lady.  On the other hand, if something is wrong, I want to do everything I can to make sure baby is okay.  Any advice for me?

  2. Don't feel bad for calling, it's their job!! That's what my nurse told me.

  3. I called, they will check me out on Wednesday. Basically, my body is just preparing to give birth and they aren't concerned so I'm choosing not to worry about it!
