TOP 10 THINGS THAT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME SINCE I GOT PREGNANT THAT (THANK GOD!) TURNED OUT TO BE OK.

1. The first 8 weeks of waiting and hoping that the pregnancy is a good one.

2. Genetic testing. Half of it made no sense and I felt tortured and completely powerless.

3. Amnio. I ended up not doing it  and switched doctors after being pressured to get one.

4. That sip (and I mean sip) of champaign I had when I was 7 months pregnant.

5. The level of intensity that labor brings.

6. Not hearing her cry for the first 5 seconds or so.

7. First night at home. 

8. SIDS. I didn't sleep for two months straight.

9. Choking.

10. Hitting her head in a way that if she was a cartoon character, there will be birds flying around in circles.
