Feeling super emotional

Hey ladies.. due dates are approaching (I’m 18th December) and I’ve suddenly just had this huge realisation that my life is about to change so much. I’m finishing work in a week using up holidays then starting maternity. I am so emotional crying this evening at the thought of how everything is about to change and I almost feel like I’m grieving my old life. I regularly stop at my mums to suit my work pattern and we share my dog and I’ve seen her getting tearful tonight which has now set me off completely. I am so excited to meet my little girl but also terrified of the unknown. Anyone else feeling like this?? I know hormones are playing a big part here too 😩❤️ x

I finished work yesterday and I'm actually really sad even though I know physically I wouldn't have been able to do another day let alone week. It's been my life for the last 3 years and it feels so strange that at least for the next 11 months it won't be there 😔 I'm getting more and more anxious about my little boy being here and trying to be a good mum so I totally am with you

I think its just part and parcel with having kids, for women it is such a big change in our lives. I have an almost 6 year old and struggling emotionally with the fact that soon she wont be the only child. We all have felt or all do feel the way you feel right now. We just figure out how to adapt life and our routines the best way we can for ourselves and our little ones. You got it mumma ❤️.

Yes totally!! I’m so excited for this next chapter, including all the downs and unknowns as it’s part of the journey but I’m massively grieving my “old life” already. trying not to disassociate and remind myself although it will be totally different there will still be as many amazing moments and I will get my spark back and one day be able to enjoy and appreciate the things I love! not naive it will all be very different of course but I’m trying to appreciate I truly can’t have it all at once. now is my time to embrace being a mum and prioritising my own family. It won’t be forever! But I do have bad days and I scroll through my camera roll & insta highlights and reminisce and I get upset feeling like all my most fun days are behind me 😂 sometimes you’ve just gotta tap into it and let yourself have a moment. we are so lucky to be able to become parents and just gotta lean into making the most of what we want our parenthood era to be ☺️ xx

Hey! I feel like it’s super hard especially when people say ‘your life’s going to change so much’ ‘it will never be the same’ and I feel like it becomes a negative thing when in reality your life is going to change yes but for the better those little days/ moments become more meaningful and the days feel like they have more purpose! It’s super okay to miss your old life but in reality I really feel like you’ll look back and realise that life just becomes more amazing! Take it from someone who fell pregnant with their first child at just 20 everyone says your life going to change forever it will never be the same and in reality 3.5 years later I’m pregnant with my 2nd child and life couldn’t be more meaningful and have more purpose 🤍

I’ve started getting really tearful and clingy with my partner the last couple days, I was due on the 5th of December but I’m now being induced November 14th for medical reasons… I’ve definetly been mourning what I could’ve been doing at this time even though I’m so grateful and excited for my baby boy to be here, it’s what I’ve always wanted, but that doesn’t mean that change isn’t hard- I think it’s completely normal for us to experience this, after all this is the biggest change we’ll ever go through physically and mentally You’re gunna be great
