1. I am scared too but not as fearful as you are. Since you work with disabled children, you are face to face with that fear everyday. As long as your doctor thinks everything is okay, have faith. If you feel an Amnio will make you sleep better, than weigh the advantages and disadvantages of that procedure with your doctor. Good luck and I'm sure everything will be okay!
2. It's normal to have those thoughts, but if you're obsessing over them and can't eat or sleep, you need to talk to your doctor. Hopefully they will be able to reassure you based upon all your diagnostic appointments, etc. You're suffering from anxiety, and the stress you are putting yourself through isn't good for your baby. Use the power of positive thinking! Picture your baby as perfect and beautiful. When you start thinking negatively, you need to consciously make the decision to push those thoughts out of your mind. Odds are in your favor that your baby will be just fine. Good luck to you!
3. " I pray to god to bless me with a health baby. " But do you trust him? Read the Bible and speak the promises he gave for those that are righteous and love Him. Maybe you should pray for peace instead
4. Being disabled isn't contagious, but your going to affect your baby being sad all the time. You need to think positive and if you can't do that you need to talk to your doctor that is what OB's are for to manage your pregnancy physically and mentally.
5. Worrying is normal. A child comes out disabled due to drugs, alchol, or smoking while pregnant. They also can get injured during birth but that does not happen as much since OB's are more likely to do a C-section now a days. Downs happens most often when you are having your first baby close to 40. I would buy the book What to expect when you are expecting, it goes over this stuff and will help you worry less.
6. yo chill, not to be mean but i just had a baby and the whole time, no matter what the doctors said , i kept reassuring my self that babies come here the way god wants them too. No matter what you do. The doctors told me that my baby had a strong possibility of being mentally ret. because the size of his head when they did the ultra sound at 5months, i didnt even think about them, my baby boy Gabriel is healthy as hell no problems no deformaties. perfect from head to toe, his head is not big at all it is actually little for a boy, and he is gorgous.. So all i can say is think positive and know your baby is fine because he has his mommy right there to make sure he kicks her everyday, thats all you worry about. Good lUck
7. Honey calm down. Every mother worries about their unborn child. It's very normal. But when you look at that baby's face, he/she will be perfect. Dont worry so much your going to cause your self to go into early labor. Too much stress on you and the baby. And trust me you will have alot of time for worry after the baby is born. mine are 5 and 3 and i worry myself to death other them and their perfectly fine. Good Luck
8. first of all, you need to take a couple deep breaths and try to just relax a bit. i'm sure everything will be just fine. if your doctor thought something was or could be wrong with your baby i'm sure he or she would have told you by now. second, you work with disabled kids so you are exposed to the reality and fear of this happening on a regular basis. try not to think so much about it (i know it's easier said than done). even if your child is disabled i'm sure you will still love him or her unconditionally because that is your flesh and blood and no matter the imperfections, you will still see your child as perfect. everything will be fine, keep praying. good luck to you and congrats!
9. working with disable kids doesnt mean that your baby will be disable too,the only thing you can do for the baby is to eat and sleep as you said you said you are not doing it because that can cause a problem to the baby,he/she needs you to be strong for him than everything will be fine stop worrying yourself.
