Home stretch = anxiety 1-8-14

So as we are in the home stretch now of pregnancy #2, I feel like it's the most critical part.
Everyone is like "you're almost there" etc
Well, we were 'almost there' with Liam as well and look how it turned out. This coming Monday I will be at the place in this pregnancy where I was when Liam was born. I don't think the nerves will stop or even subside at all until I have that little girl breathing in my arms.
I am trying to stay mentally strong and not let my mind to to a place where this doesn't turn out well. I keep envisioning a healthy baby and smooth delivery, and bringing her home safe and sound.
It stinks that the possibility of a full term loss is so real to us because the nerves are high, emotions are high, and I know it's going to be that way until the end.
We have a c-sectioned scheduled for 39 weeks on Jan. 27th but the reality that she could decide to come before that has sunk in. We are much more prepared now than we were with Liam as the thought of having him 3 weeks early never really crossed our minds.
Although being done with this pregnancy ASAP sounds great, I also like the idea of going in on the 27th and having her. Knowing she could (and probably will - I just have a feeling) come early I feel like puts the pressure back on me. Do I feel something, is that a contraction, do I feel crampy, is she moving ok, when will I loose my mucus plug, and I going to see spotting next time I go to the bathroom, will I know it's time when it's time????? AAHHH!!!!
All the doctors keep saying "you know your body and baby better than we do, so if anything is abnormal or changes don't hesitate to come in."
Well that doesn't make me feel better as I had no intuition that anything was wrong with Liam. I couldn't sense that he was in trouble or do anything to save him. That still breaks my heart and makes me wonder if I do have that motherly instinct with my own children. Will I know if something is wrong this time? Ugh, so stressful. So every time she moves I am re-assured but very ready to move on from the pregnancy stage to having her here where I feel like the responsibility can be shared between Brad and I. Knowing my mother and others will be here to help is comforting.
