Nervous about Labour!

Hi everyone! I’m a ftm currently 37+2 and very nervous about labour. I wasn’t until recently but it seems to have hit me like a bus. Baby girl measured 7lb 3oz (roughly) at 36 weeks and has been consistently ahead which is making my nerves worse I think! I’d love to hear some positive stories ❤️

I’ve pushed out an 8LB 9OZ baby. I think you’ll be fine. Try to relax and don’t think of it much and let your body do what it’s supposed to do during labor and delivery. All the best!

Sadly you can’t predict labour…Im a big yogi, practiced daily, drank the tea & still last minute I was an emergency C-section bc she didn’t want to come out after 20 hours…expect the unexpected honestly as long as you nd baby are healthy & safe that’s a positive story ❤️‍🩹
She was almost 9 pounds & 21 inches long so even more than my sonogram had said…

I am 19 weeks and 4 days …

This is my first full term pregnancy but I’ve been pregnant prior. My last pregnancy was a miscarriage and this is my rainbow baby. I feel like I’m small but I think I’m just telling myself that.

Baby coming hopefully

So my due date is tommorow , ob appointment today I was 4cm & 80% he said he’d be suprised if I made it thru the night 😩😩
My 13 month old has been clinging to my belly all day I’m pretty sure tonight’s going to be the night ! Makes me super emotional knowing that her entire world is about to be flipped inside out.
