Nervous!!

[firsttimemom0510]

So this is my second pregnancy and im starting to reach the end! I'm very nervous about it and i wake up in the middle of the night and can't help but worry. My husband will be gone out of town for work during the 1st of March to the 15th of April but my due date is the 19th of April. If this labor goes anything like my last pregnancy i will skip early labor and go straight to active labor and be in so much pain i cant walk or talk. So how am i supposed to get to the hospital in time? My last labor lasted for 2 hours so this time might cut it a bit short.
Im so nervous about getting to the hospital by myself and not to mention I havent started setting up any of the baby stuff or the labor bag. Its like my nesting instinct came around 6 months and left at 7 months. So here i am at 8 months having no urge to make room for my LO.
Have i mentioned my oldest is 18 months? I feel like i am completely screwed towards the end of this pregnancy. What am i going to do?

I have my parents who live near by but they work and are busy a lot. I just don't want to have to call an ambulance as a last resort. I just really hope these last few weeks go by smoothly.

I think it makes it worse stressing. My little one was a year old last week and my little girl was 2 in november... my nesting instinct dont seem to be kicking in (or it has but by the end of the day im knackered.. iron is low too)... have u got any other support other than ur husband? Ur probably best thinking of it as he isnt going to be there n if he is bonus. Stops the hurt feeling if he misses it. I must say i only trust my mum n husband with my babies. So im having a home birth xx

Try having someone you trust with your 18 month old around as well so they can look after them around that time or at least prepared to come when you need

On getting to the hospital, to cut ambulance costs, family or friends. If they aren't available consider adding lyft or Uber on your phone so you can access a comfy ride... Or taxi

If you have family or friends near by, ask them to help you set up the baby stuff. Ask somebody if they can stay with you until your husband gets back or have someone check in on you when they can.

Just breath and let things happen naturally. Don't overstress yourself like you are doing right now.

Hope things go good for you!
