It is almost time.

so I'm 38 weeks and for the past 2 weeks I have been dilated 1cm and the baby has dropped. This of course has caused a lot of pressure in my pelvic area. (I can't hardly walk) and it makes me jump at every little pain I have. I have been having BH contraction also (of course). my concern is all of a sudden I am terrified to go into labor at home. I have all these silly concerns like
"what if my water breaks while I'm taking a bath and don't know it."
"what if I pee on myself (accidently) and I think my water broke"
"what if I start having real contractions and think they are just BH until it is too late?"
and a few others.... anyone else getting close and having these silly concerns that you know you are gonna laugh at yourself later for?

Yup im super nervous but ready and excited at the same time! Im 38w today and the only thing that really soothes me or keeps me smiling is swimming but at the same time im so nervous my water will break while im swimming and ill not know it! Im also nervous that my hubby wont be home when i go into labor :(

All your concerns are completely normal, i had my little  girl 9 days ago and i was just the same , try not to over think it cause believe me when the real contractions kick in you will not be able to mistake them for braxton hicks!! Good luck! :-)
