It is possible for a perfectly healthy baby to die for no known reason after the "scary" first 3 weeks. Please attempt to remember that.
(Sorry. Feeling particularly inundated with kittens-rainbows-and-sunshine pregnancies today. By people who should know better. WHEN the baby gets here, indeed. And please dump the annoying Facebook ticker. Arg.)
OK. Now attempting to rationalize that they are normal and I am not. It is normal to be expectant and confident. It is not normal to see death as the possible 50-50 outcome of any pregnancy. It's just my fucked up brain controlling all my emotions again. Ignore it. Just ignore it.
Excuse me while I go writhe in jealousy at the naivete.

Oh, I SO understand this sentiment. As long as you say it here and not TO whoever it is that is annoying you...
Good advice, Catherine! Good advice. :)
I hear ya!
It feels like my family and friends mentality is that it can't happen to them solely because it happened to ME. The law of averages apparently...
