Anyone else feel unprepared?
I’m 37 weeks, got diagnosed with hypertension and now getting induced next week on the 21st. All of a sudden I am absolutely panicking and feel wildly unprepared.. we have practically everything we could ever imagine needing, we are surrounded by support, we took preparation classes and I have some experience with kids being a nanny and a preschool teacher over the years. Why am I suddenly feeling like I’m not ready??? My husband is cool, calm and collected and doesn’t understand why I’m freaking out

Same but I’m getting induced at 37 weeks
What you have just described is the same as what happened yesterday when I was given my induction date. You’re ready, it’s just hitting you now because they have given you a date and you finally know where you stand. Plus men are typically the more logical whilst I imagine a lot of moms are much more emotionally involved! It’s perfectly natural ❤️ watch your husband when he gets the news you’re actually in labour…then his time to freak out may come! Good luck! You got this!

I think it’s the mom in you! Completely normal to panic a bit especially when the timeline is moved up unexpectedly. I went into preterm labor with my first at 30 weeks. Made it to 36 weeks but I panicked the whole time worried about literally everything. When we had her everything just stopped. I felt like time was so slow and peaceful and honestly it was just so amazing to be able to hold her and it all came naturally. You got this! I hope you have the same experience with your birth!!
