Wow 31 weeks and im freaking out! This is happening all too fast! 😟 im getting anxiety thinking about due day. Ughh i…

You will loose your sanity from time to time, but we all do. It comes naturally. Its stressful and it is life changing. But just know every second you devote to him, and caring for him or her is all worthwhile. You can do it, weve been doing it for thousands of years with a lot less. You got this.

Thankyou @amberdaine !!! That really makes me feel alot better. Its just super nerve racking

I understand. What killed me is the anxiety, and excitement. Especially when I hit 30 weeks. Its normal to worry!

There's a lot of things no one tells you when you're pregnant about what happens after the baby is here. I made a post about this You will survive! The first 6 weeks after baby are the hardest. Especially if you breastfeed. But know this, breastfeeding is extremely healthy for your baby and it burns 500 calories a day for you. I've lost 40 pounds already at just 3 weeks post partum. Prepare ahead of time and have a good support system and you'll do fine. Some get the baby blues and some lead into depression but again with a good support system you'll do great. Don't allow yourself to sit in the house all day. Get outside and get around other ppl if they're not sick. You get way less "me" time so this allows you to still feel human. Always remember that baby's cry. That's how they communicate. Check for a wet or dirty diaper. Check to see if baby is hungry. Is baby too hot or cold? The baby might just want to pacify. And baby's cluster feed in the beginning so it seems like all u do is feed baby. Your SO needs to realize that if baby sleeps near you she will cry and probably wake him up from time to time. Sleep deprivation is real at first so find ways to get thru it. I set up my iPad to watch Netflix and have healthy snacks and water nearby so I don't have to get up every few minutes. Plus I have diapers and wipes right next to the bed in a small tub to be on hand at 3 am. So much easier. Learn to swaddle your baby. They sleep better when secured. Like at the hospital. Let your family help you when offered. Let the nurses. Sleep when the baby does. Trust me on that one. Find a routine that works for u. Get groceries and stock up before baby because it's hard to go after you have the baby. Practice with your car seat even with a baby doll if you have to, I got so frustrated with mine because it has been 12 years since I've used one LOL.

@morganmommy79 wow! Thankyou
