Feeling so emotional and lost

Currently going through the same thing 38w+6d I was depressed for a while I just started feeling better and accepting that the fact she’s gonna come when it’s time for her to come. I try to keep busy.

Im the same girl! I’ve been having contractions for nearly a week and a half already, my due date is 10.10 but my bday is the 5th so I was so hoping that he would come on my bday… well he didn’t and I’m still having many symptoms that point to labor being near but still no baby yet. I really want him to come naturally and healthy but this waiting game is killing me😩

@Anteyanna Thanks girl ❤️❤️ I’m so impatient and I really want to keep busy but I have no motivation. I feel so depressed and don’t know what to do.

@Kat thank you ❤️ I’m glad I’m not the only one. I want her to be healthy and happy but I just want to meet her and hang out with her. The depression is so real and I never have this bad of anxiety ☹️

I m in the same boat !! Exactly same thing happened to me. @Shawna 😒 I am just trying to stay calm and do curb walking , ball exercises, drink labor tea

You are not alone, I did get induced with my son because I simply couldn’t handle the pain anymore but I went through the same thing with you’re going right now and you got this mama. Once she is here it’s like tunnel vision and the only person or thing you’re worried about is your baby.

Going through the same. I’m just trying to take it day by day and convince myself each day of some reason it’s good for him to wait one more day (it’s the weekend so my doctor might not be there today, I still want to pack one more thing in my hospital bag today, it’s better if he doesn’t have the same birthday as my sister), whatever it is just to give myself a reason to be good with one more day

Girl i been feeling the exact same way! I finally broke down yesterday because I been trying so hard to distract myself by doing things around the house. Every day I check my baby calendar and remind myself that baby will be here soon and we have come so far! Just a little longer!

Same! I lost my mucus plug 2 weeks ago and had a few very mild cramps but that's about it. I'm really lucky to have been enjoying my pregnancy and while I'm excited to meet my babe I'm trying my hardest to be patient and enjoy him kicking in my belly and little longer 💙

@Kyia thank you. How was it being induced? I’ve been thinking of setting an induction date but it makes so nervous to put baby through that. How did everything go for you?

@Sarah omg I’ve had the same thoughts. My sister’s birthday is the 24th, we’re due the 22nd and she keeps bringing up how awesome it would be if they share a birthday. I completely disagree with that and don’t want anyone to steal her thunder on her birthday, plus I have a lot I can get done but I just don’t have the motivation

@Shawna everything actually went great. I went to the hospital at 3cm and they gave me piecing to start the contractions and increased it every hour and checked my vitals every hour as well. How my doctor explained it is that there is no real difference in terms of the stress that it puts on your body and the baby

Its okay to feel like that because theres so many unknowns. Bright sode is that your body is getting ready and she'll come in due time & maybe when you least expect it. Also maybe take this time to do some more nesting, resting & self care like a pedicure to ease your mind.

same :( i’m 39 weeks today, lost my mucas plug last wednesday after my membrane sweep and was so excited that something was happening and still nothing. it’s so frustrating it makes me feel like it’s never gonna happen 😭 there’s honestly not much you can do but wait, just worrying about it will make it much worse but you’re so close mama ittl make it all worth it once you’re holding your baby 🫶🏻
