Okay so I am 18 weeks and the due date keeps getting closer and closer and well..You get the picture...I am starting to freak out just a bit about things...Like is that the baby moving O_o or is that a gas bubble..Omg is its heart beating D: is it okay?
Or things like will I get strep b? Will something go wrong and I need a c-section?! Will I be able to breast feed or will it turn out like what happen with my mom be allergic to milk ....
And things like will I have to be put on bed rest!? I cant afford to do that at this point ;__; I need to help save money with my husband or I will feel extremely guilty and useless.
I know its crazy but I just wonder if I am alone in this or if other people thought this way?

With my first one I was a lot more worried about things than I was with the second. With the first delivery everything is a new experience.
For your worries about the baby moving you may want to take the time to do a kick count. (See this post for more info.)
I didn't have strep b with either of my girls so I'm not sure what to tell you on that one.
I was worried about the idea of a c-section too so you're not alone there. Both of my girls were delivered vaginally (the first naturally, the second with an epidural). I was able to breast-feed both my girls for the first year. Most women are able to breast feed. It milk allergies run in your family though you may want to bring this concern up with your doctor.
As long as everything goes well with your pregnancy there won't be a need for bed rest. I worked as a cashier in a grocery store right up until I had my first daughter. A lot of women continue to work until they actually have the baby.
I had all sorts of worries. I tried to keep a list of concerns/worries that I had then I'd take that list with my to my doctor visits. You docotor could better tell you if it is something that you should be concerned about with your pregnancy and what options you would have.
