Is it normal to feel nervous close to due date?

I am 33 weeks and I'm getting nervous.... I have two older kids and I've been really positive about this whole pregnancy. But lately I've started feeling like I really don't know if I'm going to be able to handle everything. I'm a single mother because dad is a liar and cheater and I moved to another state during my pregnancy. I don't have any regrets but I'm just starting to get nervous like omg what if? I really don't want my hormones to have me all emotional but I know it's not much I can do about it......any suggestions

Very normal. It's scary having a baby and even more so alone. I had twins my first pregnancy and I did it alone and I was terrified but we managed and it's a bond like no other. Honestly it would probably be more stress for you to have someone like that around you and not fair for your child to constantly be disappointed with their father so you probably lucked up :) keep your head high. I would suggest support groups. Now with fb they have so many groups out there and people who you can talk to who can relate. Best wishes to you and your little one.

Thank you so much for your sincere response. Wow twins that's amazing! Yea that's what I've been thinking this whole time that I'm going to be happier not having to deal with the dad. I'm looking forward to this journey. Thanks again Happy holidays and new year to you and yours!
