I know my mom means well, but she is freaking me out! Pg with #2. #1 was a preemie and mom keeps talking about "if you have the baby now" and freaking out that I'm in labor if I don't pick up the phone on the 2nd ring and talking about what we'll do if we have to do the NICU thing again and things like that. Im 31 weeks. I know she's just nervous b/c of what happened last time but I wish she'd chill out! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

So tell her that. "Mom, I know you are worried. I am worried as well and it would be helpful to me if you would calm down." [ Reply | More

My first db was a preemie, and I just had #2, who was late! It was a stressful pregnancy, so I feel for you. Hang in there. [ Reply | More
