Panic Over Baby

I was doing surprisingly well for most of my pregnancy so far, but now it seems that fullblown panic has set in as I approach the third trimester. I don't know if it's hormones or PTSD or just a natural reaction to the situation. I lay awake now every night, consumed by fears of a stillbirth, of something going wrong during the birth, of the baby having some kind of health problem. I'm afraid to start buying things for the baby, crib, toys, etc, because I'm convinced something will go wrong and buying these things will just jinx the birth. I'm terrified it will be stillborn. I freak out if I don't feel him kicking, even though I know it's normal for him to stop moving from time to time. I don't know how to calm myself down, and I have no support network to help me. I don't think I will survive if something goes wrong with the baby.
