Overwhelmed

Yes I'm feeling very overwhelmed and anxious. Due on the 5th Jan and FTM still haven't got my hospital bag finished! I've got to a point where I'm not bothering with christmas this year too much press6

We don’t really do anything for Christmas so no real planning there except from food for a family visit…but trying to prepare for baby when I’m uncomfy and no sleeping etc is very hard 😭

Yes, Christmas being right at the end feels like awful timing. Feel like I have to have everything ready before Christmas

I’m 33 weeks today as well, and weirdly I’ve started feeling very overwhelmed today too. I spoke to my partner about and that really helped.

Yes and busy finishing off work before holiday then back for short in Jan so feeling very overwhelmed! Feel like I have nothing done but luckily on holiday from next week so hoping that helps. 😩 The exhaustion does not help!

i’m due the second of jan and i have started to nest which feels really overwhelming because theres so much i want to do but my body says no next week im full term so im just really trying to get stuff done x

I'll be 35 weeks on Wednesday and currently feel totally overwhelmed, I'm hoping some of this disappears when I finish work on Friday, I'll be taking a couple of weeks annual leave before commencing maternity leave. My husband still wants to do all the usual Christmas things which will be a packed few days and I just need to keep reminding him I really might not be up for it. I'm trying to not only get Christmas ready but also feel like I'm nesting, which is adding to the anxiety levels as I'm usually just crack on and get jobs done but I'm struggling with either needing to ask for help or having to sit down after even simple task. I also don't think it's helping that everyone I talk to is convinced I'll be induced early - apparently it's common with IVF babies, which doesn't help as I'm just think to myself it is even less time.

Same I’m 33 weeks since yesterday and feeling absolutely exhausted. Called sick into work this morning I was feeling so overwhelmed but so glad I did. The insomnia has been getting to me a lot now too which makes it harder when my alarm for work goes off at 6.30am 😩😩

@edel if it helps I’m an IVF baby myself and I was late 😅 but I know the stress, I think I’ve convienved myself little one is going to come early so I want to be prepared early
