Emotionally drained

I’m really struggling emotionally lately. I’m 26 weeks with my first and I feel so overwhelmed and I don’t know why. I just have this looming feeling that I have a “deadline” and I won’t get everything done in time. It’s hard to get out of my head and I just feel stressed, anxious, or depressed all day. I’m trying my best, it helps to focus on work, and I downloaded this yesterday in hopes that hearing from others would help too ❤️

I felt the same way being pregnant with my first. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and over-prepared just out of nervousness really. Try to be happy, watch funny television shows or movies, taking walks and stretching helps too. This all helps the baby too. Also, I think you might be entering what they call the “nesting phase”. When you mentioned “deadline”, that reminded me of “nesting”. Enjoy the journey! I don’t know if you downloaded the Bump app. That helped me learn about what was happening to my body and the baby‘a development inside of me and what to expect. Feel free to PM me! My LO is almost 2 years old. This might sound crazy but I miss being pregnant. It was a new and exciting experience for me.

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
