How is everyone feeling?

I’m the same, pretty chill, just making the most of this time before. I think it’s best to try and be distracted a little by other things and just get on with day to day things, as I find I over think it and get inpatient 😅

Yeah I'm trying to stay chill and relaxed for labour but I always imagined feeling differently.

There's still an element of disbelief that I'm about to become a mum and there's a whole human inside me, it feels like unreal x

That’s good! The calmer you can stay the better. I had mine early and had been calm too mainly as I felt I had longer to go and it took my by surprise haha. Totally fine to feel calm and relaxed.

I definitely feel like that too, I think it is so surreal and sometimes think is this even happening lol as it’s something I guess I’ve wondered all my life if I’ll ever have a child and it’s actually happening 🤭😬😅

I'm excited but quite nervouse tbh and still on disbelief that I'm pregnant and I'm die in 13 days, I'm so bloody happy and 6 to be pregnant part of me is over it now as in so much pain and discomfort but the other part of me dosent want it to end, but I also just want to meet my lil boy now, but also feeling very overwhelmed with the feeling of nit wanting to let anyone down if they wana come see baby but I need time to chill and heal and rest a lil first just like a week just me my partner my new son and my other son he will be at school and stuff too but we need that time to adjust and I'm worried some might not understand they can come but I don't want them here hours and hours

I’m also due in less than a week this is my second baby in 2 years and to be totally honest I haven’t really thought about meeting the baby I’m more preoccupied about labour and wanting to get in and get it over with 😂 side note I actually had a really positive experience with my first child just want to get it done😂

yeah I've also had the same issues, family wanting to meet baby immediately but I reckon I will want to just rest and bond with the baby and my partner for a few days before we start inviting family over but there is so much pressure isn't there.

I'm glad I'm not alone in how I'm feeling, thank you so much for the reassurance. Its such an tricky time guess it's just a waiting game never knowing what each day will bring but hopefully being a bit more on the chill side will help 🤞🏽 x

I’m having my section on Tuesday and I completely feel the same! I have some moments where I feel like everything is surreal! But other than that every day is a normal day xx

There really feels like there is so much pressure and I really don't want to offend anyone I'm honestly too much of a people pleaser and my best friend is like look you need to be selfish and I know I do as me and my partner just need that time and I don't know how I'm going to be feeling as after my first I was awful that was 15 years ago nearly lol, so I think I'll just take each day and see how I get in and then invite people as and when but maybe say just for an hour and then if I feel up to it they can always stay a little longer maybe lol x
