Anyone else ?

38 weeks plus 1 day today… whilst I am trying to drink raspberry tea and Dates and whatever else to induce labour….. ‘i do want baby to be out ; but also don’t want baby to be out!!’ …. Thinking of labour brings anxiety and nervousness ha ! 🥹😒 Not sure if you are all feeling the same…… also that feeling of uncertainty of not knowing when baby will arrive is not that great!

I’m in same boat 2cMs dilated 20% 39 weeks 3 days . I’m like should I eat pineapples and drink raspberry leaves tea 🥲🤣🤣😭😭😭. Naw I got a 2 year old and already have trouble balancing time maybe give it. Little more time . Maybe let him come on his own lol

I'm having raspberry leaf tea and dates more to make for an easier/smoother labour rather than actually kick start labour. The baby will come when they are ready, regardless of you trying to bring on labour. I feel the same though and felt the same with my first, but as soon as labour started it turned more into excitement/anticipation to meet them rather than fear of the birth itself

Glad to read and know that I am not alone ! Saturday onwards I start my Maternity Leave so will focus on doing whatever is needed to get labour induced naturally. Good luck to us all 🤞🧿❤️😘
