Full term

Hit 37 weeks today and for some reason I am getting so anxious. I was in a shop earlier and thought jeez I could have my waters breaking right here, right now and that freaked me out. I just can’t imagine going through labour and having this baby, it just doesn’t feel real. I’m so anxious now all the time and fearing the unknown, I don’t know when this baby is going to come or how it’s gonna start or where exactly I’m going to be and it’s stressing me out 😭 i keep waking up in the night thinking is this it, is it gonna happen now because I’m too sleepy to get up and get to hospital if I need to. Sounds ridiculous I know but does anyone else feel similar or just me freaking out here all alone? 😂

You’re not ridiculous whatsoever! I felt the exact same way until a few weeks ago (currently 36+4) and I looked into hypnobirthing which really helped me🩷

this has been me and I’m only 34 weeks pregnant! I’ve been having mini breakdowns x

I had exactly this full panic attacks girl and right now I’m in hospital with contractions in labour and I am super calm. You fkn got this

Baby might still technically wait another month before arriving! (If you give birth at 41w +

Try to relax (easier said than done). The more you relax, the more likely oxytocin levels raise which starts labour. Baby will come at some point regardless. Lots of first babies are late, I was 40+6 with my first. My waters started to break on Monday but it was only a trickle and being induced hopefully today! Good luck, you’ll be fine x

i’m the same! i’m 36+5 and i’ve planned life so for the next 4 weeks i don’t need to be leaving the area that i live in, just so i can ensure i’m close to home/my hospital incase anything happens. i feel you about going shopping though. everytime i’m in tesco i’m like “oh god it’s gonna happen” 🤣 at the end of the day whatever will happen will happen so i’m trying just to relax about it all we’ve got this girlllyyyy 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Update on my earlier comment 🤣 I had the baby 6 hours ago. All those panic attacks I had and it’s all over now. Believe in yourself and trust your body. Really tune in and listen to it. It’s what got me through. You’re going to be amazing your body was made for this and you are absolutely incredible xx

@Sera Kay omg, how early were you? That’s another thing that’s scaring me is quite a few people who were due in October, hence being in this group, have had their babies already like wow 😮‍💨🤭 Congratulations by the way 🫶🏼 thank you so much, you’re incredible too and I wish you all the best with your new baby, enjoy every second xx

@Sera Kay omg 🤣🤣 congratulations!!! sending love to you and baby ❤️❤️

@Dana I honestly don’t even know why I’m in this group cos I was due Sept 21 🤣🤣🤣 so 39 weeks and 1 day he came. Thankyou so much! Have you tried going for a pregnancy massage at a Thai massage place? They bless your baby and all. They really helped me mentally.

@Hannah right 🤣🤣 Thankyou!!! Xx
