Anxiety starting to pick up

I’m 38 weeks and I feel like I’m starting to loose it a bit I’ve been nesting, I’ve been waiting and slowing down with work . I’m grateful to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby but the feeling of not knowing when or what is goin on day to day it starting to catch up to me mentally. I keep having false alarms and now my doctors are contributing it to my anxiety. Which made me feel defeated and crazy. I’m not exactly sure what to do with all the feelings I’m having.

Yessss !! 💯 It’s the worst feeling not knowing what to expect & when to expect it! Prayers take it day by day 🥹🥹

@Zoë thank you 🩵🥹

I feel you!! I know it’s hard but I think just do everything you can to relax. Watch nice movies, go for walks, try to switch off all the videos of people telling you how to induce labour! Make your favourite food, get a massage, all the things to spoil yourself!

@Kathryn definitely think I need a social media break . It might be subconsciously triggering my mental health

Yes try to relax! The day before labor I decided to have a movie day and not try anything to induce. I think relaxing all day helped jumpstart my labor the next day. I was 40 weeks at that point. Just know they’ll come when your body and they are ready 🫶🏽

I hate that feeling I’m 40 weeks and it started at 36 weeks. I just cry 😭, write it out or record the way I feel for myself. Keep pushing you got this!💕

@Christina I agree I got off social media weeks ago because it made it so much worse

@Christina I was in the same boat ♥️ As soon as I stopped trying to keep up with all of the labor prep/trying to induce, my water broke lol. Just be kind to yourself and maybe do something that makes you feel good, like a long bath or a massage. You’re so close!

Thank you everyone and I definitely going to try to relax !
