Heartbroken to still be pregnant
Show your support
I’m with you! I’m really struggling too. I have a sweep today and crossing everything it does something. I’m worrying all the time about baby being ok and it’s exhausting. We’ve got this ❤️
Not still pregnant but felt exactly like that once I went past 40 weeks which wasn't helped by constant messages asking if she'd arrived (I ended up turning off my WhatsApp read receipts due to this and unhelpful/stressful voice notes from my MIL who didn't give birth in the UK or understand most babies don't arrive on due date) You're not letting anyone down by still being pregnant and if anyone says that, they need blocking or told to get lost! I ended up having my LG at exactly 42 weeks following induction. Although I was upset about being overdue, I took the viewpoint of if it was that risky, they'd induce before 40+6 weeks. What also helped was my midwife going through the statistics re: need for c-section and instrumental deliveries, epidurals etc. past 40 weeks and following induction where the % didn't increase massively each week until past 42 weeks at which point my trust regularly scans you and discusses interventions to get baby out.
Oh hun. 40 weeks is just an average. Listen you have done AMAZING! you have grown a mini human in your stomach ALL BY YOURSELF! the end is in sight. And he is going to be squishy and so perfect and you will never have felt a love like it. The love you will die for. You aren't letting anyone down. Little man just isn't ready yet. You're swearword AMAZING!!!!! and don't bloody forget that ❤️ always here if you want a chat! I'm a mama of a 5 year old boy 2 year old girlie(3 tomorrow!!🎃) and a 4 week old girlie who won't go to sleep tonight. He will soon be in your arms and everything will be worth it. As they say...the best is yet to come ❤️
