Aa
I'm soo scared!!
I'm exactly 39 weeks today and I have my last prenatal appointment this Monday at which we will be scheduling my induction in the event I don't begin labor naturally by the 19th. So for the past 2 months I've been DYING to give birth and finally feel normal again. But most importantly I am dying to finally meet my son, but now that I'm days away from all of that I am terrified!!!! What if I can't handle two children and a husband? What if I begin to unintentionally neglect one?? What if I begin to neglect myself and my husband doesn't find me attractive anymore?? What if I can't manage to lose my baby fat? All of these "what if's" are just smacking me in the face and it's quite overwhelming. A couple weeks ago I was chugging pineapple juice and doing squats... now I'm scared to cough too hard bc I don't want to encourage labor =(
Awww! Thank you all so much. Your words truly mean a lot to me =) congratulations to you all! And may we all have safe and easy deliveries!!
Aww.. this is exactly how many of us feel. All those feelings are totally natural and I think the best way to answer them is yes you will be fine. As woman we are built to manage families, work, school, crying babies, cranky husbands, dinner and never manage to neglect anyone one. We are creatures who adapt. U will be a stellar mom and wife and as long as u do ur best, they will all see and appreciate how u care for them.. Good Luck! Relax for these next few days!
Im due on the 19 an I feel the same. . Im scared to death because this is my first child
You don't sound like a baby at all! I'm 39 weeks tomorrow with some similar concerns. Just do your best & take it one day at a time. You'll be fine mama.
Thank you ladies for the encouragement! I know I probably sound like a huge baby but being so close to uncharted waters is scarier than I thought.
Your worries are legitimate. I am 39 weeks 4 days. I only concentrate on what I can do. If unintentionally I neglect something I am not gonna torment myself about it. Enjoy your life and be happy.. good luck. .
It will all be ok! You will juggle it all :). Baby #4 on the way here. Good luck!
