These past couple of days I’ve been so paranoid something bad is gonna happen, I’ll be 31 weeks tomorrow and I guess I’m just overwhelmed with the thought that in 9 weeks or less I’m going to be a mom. I just fear that we’ve made it this far and something is gonna go wrong. I feel his kicks and his rolls but I’m just an emotional wreck just lately😔 x
Nikki, rest assured most women go through a patch of anxiety like this. It's not just first time mum's either, lovely. I'm just as nervous sometimes - this little man is my fourth. All it takes is a quiet patch in there for you to start thinking all sorts.
Feeling some anxiety before the birth is normal. I think a lot of the rollercoaster emotions we go through beforehand are a sort of hormonal flag that we are preparing for birth. I remember when having my first feeling overwhelmed at the thought of birth in the weeks before, but I took solace from the fact that so many women before me have done it, so of course I would be okay. You'll have little man in your arms soon enough xx
@missmysleep, @blueberry79, thanks ladies I guess it’s because it’s my first and it took us so long to get here I’m just nervous that’s why I’m over thinking things. I just don’t want anything bad to happen but I know if I keep stressing it will only make my anxiety worse. I can’t wait for the kicks to turn in to cuddles and i just can’t wait to have him in my arms where I know I can keep him safe. Xxx
