Emotions as a first time mom
Anyone else feeling very emotional at the moment? I am currently 38 weeks + 2 and in the last few days I have just randomly started to cry but when I talk about it to my husband I just feel stupid.
It’s not all really sunk in until this last week since being on maternity leave that next week (being induced Monday) our little boy will be here and have a 1000 things going through my head 🙈😔 I know it will all be fine once he’s here and we’re settled.
Firstly, thank you for sharing something so raw and real. What you’re feeling is not only valid — it’s deeply human. Your emotions are signs of depth, of love, and of how profoundly you’re about to step into something sacred: motherhood. At 38 weeks, your body and your mind are preparing for one of life’s most transformative experiences. The tears? They’re not random — they’re a release. They’re your body’s way of making space for what’s to come. You’re not just about to meet your baby; you’re about to meet a new version of yourself. 🤗 Your little boy is already so lucky — because he’s coming into a world where he’s deeply loved by someone as thoughtful, present, and emotionally aware as you. You're not alone in this. So many others are walking this path too. And while no two journeys are the same, I believe every mom has felt this storm of anticipation. ❤️
