Anyone else not bothered with the raspberry leaf tea and other stuff ?

My first pregnancy in 2022 I drank the raspberry leaf tea, tried to eat dates as much as I could even tho I don’t like them , did the perineal massage , harvested colostrum, bounced on my exercise ball everyday and probably other things that are said to help with labour and delivery etc that I can’t remember now . This pregnancy I feel like I’m so occupied with life and my 3 year old that I just haven’t bothered with any of it , I’ve even forgot to take my prenatals for probably months now🤦‍♀️ I was so on it with everything before and now feeling paranoid that I’ve done nothing this time round and I’m now 36+5 weeks absolutely exhausted and ready for baby to come!

Oh and considering I did all that last time I ended up having to be induced at 41+5 and had my son exactly 42 weeks so does it really help? 😂

NIPT

Currently 15 weeks and still haven’t gotten my NIPT testing done, due to not having active insurance (waiting to be added to my husbands - just got married last month) and SO in my head about everything… Is there a cut off date when you can receive that test?

Wanting to know gender so bad, and making sure baby is healthy..
my anxiety is getting the best of me.

Terrified

My second baby is due in November just before my first turns 2. Due to complicated circumstances I will be entirely on my own the entire time. My husband lost his job and will be finishing school 2 months postpartum and working since we have literally zero savings. I have extremely minimal family support and no money and I'm starting to get really freaking scared.

Fathers’ Day

I’m 41 weeks tomorrow and have been trying EVERYTHING to get this baby out. It’s just dawned on me that it’s Father’s Day this Sunday so if I have the baby on Sunday, the baby is the gift😅
This has given me patience to wait a few more days, if anyone else can find comfort in that
