Still doesn’t feel real

I don’t know what wrong with me, I know Im 38 weeks and my baby is literally due anytime THIS month. I’m seeing all these posts of July babies and it still hasn’t hit me that it will be my turn soon. I don’t feel like I’m prepared enough or ready for labour 🤣 I do wanna meet my baby and I’m definitely looking forward to that but it just hasn’t hit me yet

I am in hospital for my section this morning and feel the same! First baby and still cannot imagine it. I am told it will hit once I hold her. Cannot wait!

@Rhîan good luck babygirl ❤️❤️ congratulations and you’ve got this not long left now❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel the exact same! Feel like there’s so much anxiety around pregnancy and birth anyway, I fully don’t think I’ll feel it’s real until that baby is in my arms 🥹

I’m waiting on no2 and I honestly can’t get my brain to accept that very soon I will have a baby at home again 🤣 it just doesn’t feel real. Sometimes I sit and I can imagine my little boy with his baby brother and how lovely it’s going to be but the majority of the time I can’t imagine it not being the 3 of us. Also the expectation that I should know what im doing or what to expect it’s been nearly 8 years I know nothing 🤣🤣

@Rhîan good luck!! How exciting. Xx

I feel exactly the same. I just feel like I’m not prepared at all- but a few weeks ago I thought I was and was fine with it all. I’m really quite anxious now and very emotional. X

@Laura me too!! Thought I had everything under control and now I’m just crying all the time 😂 I think it’s a mix of everything and just the anxiety of childbirth is making me so nervous now. I think it where there’s so much time at this stage to sit and over think everything 😓x

@Beth I thought the same. I don’t know how I’m going to manage now where as all the way through I’ve been so carefree. I’m crying every day now, meant to be getting my hair done today and I just don’t feel like i want to go. X

Just to say that section was amazing, we are home and it is lovely. I still cannot compute that she was in me or reconcile how pregnancy felt as it now feels that she has always been here. Getting in to our own rhythm and cannot remember a thing from the classes but it somehow feels right. Best of luck to you all- hope you all feel equally as peaceful.

@Rhîan so glad to hear it went well!! ❤️ enjoy it mamma x
