Today was my last day in the office. I'm still going to work from home throughout my maternity leave, but at least I won't be commuting 2 hrs a day for the next 3 months. Tomorrow, I'm at 38 weeks and my doctor is talking about inducing next week because of the gestational diabetes and my "advanced age." It hasn't really sunk in yet that this is finally happening. I'd be lying if I said I'm ready. As much as I want to meet our little girl, I also kind of want to keep her in my belly for another few weeks or so. I'm a FTM who has loved being pregnant. And who is terrified of the whole birth process. Am I the only person in he world who feels like this?
with you commute, are will your child care be near your home or work? I have an hour commute each way and our care is near my work. I'm so nervous for that drive everyday.
my mom had my sister at 40 and told doctors to let her come on her own and had zero complications and she was double high risk cause when she. had my brother and had to have blood transfusions during labor.
I've asked if I could wait for the baby to come on her own, but my dr said he advises against it. My mom lives 3 blocks away from me, so she is going to watch the baby when I go back to commuting. If it wasn't for her, I don't know what I'd do.
