So nervous and major mum guilt

I am 37+5. I was up at triage on Wednesday evening as my blood pressure has decided to raise which happened with my first baby too. They’ve decided to induce me next weekend and I am so nervous about it as all I ever hear are bad stories about being induced. I’ve already started to get tightenings and cramps so I’m hoping I’ll already be dilating when it comes to it / hoping he decides to come before haha but I am just feeling so so anxious about it all. Plus having major mum guilt on my first for leaving him to go and give birth?! As if I didn’t know that I would have to leave him to give birth in the first place?! Why do I feel like this 😫😫

I’m scheduled to be induced next week too and starting to feel quite anxious, although I’m very ready for baby to be here now!
We’ve got this 🫶

I’m the same I had a call yesterday saying I’m getting induced on Friday next week and all I have done is cry! I’m not even a person who cry’s a lot but I feel so guilty and heartbroken that my son is going to feel the change. I know they will be best friends in time but he is my baby boy!

Hope your induction goes well xx

Me too!! Also can’t stop crying about leaving my oldest :(

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

Clingier than usual

For anyone else who is a fur mum. Has your fur baby gotten clingier than usual towards the end of your pregnancy?

I am worried that it means he will not be ok with the baby.
