35 weeks anxiety 😭
I’m 35 weeks and baby has been head down for a few weeks.
The pressure down below is so uncomfortable and has been lots of lightening crotch. But when I lie down on my side it calms. Baby is a wee wriggler too. I sleep fine at night too. But during the day I can’t walk anywhere or do anything because the only release I get is when sitting with feet up or lying down. I feel so useless.
I have a scheduled section as I had c section first time. My fear is what if I go early - it terrifies me.
How do u know if I’m in labour? People say you just know but what if I don’t.
Everyday I’m constantly symptom checking but I’m so miserable and anxious constantly.
Midwife said pressure is worse this time because it’s my 2nd and pelvic floor
Muscles isn’t the same. But said it’s very normal.
I don’t think I can do this for 5 weeks I’m so scared I go early. 😭 I’ve cried everyday and I have a toddler so I’m constantly on the go.

Can I ask why you’re so scared about delivering naturally?
I was HUGE at the end and was so uncomfortable. Loads of braxton hicks, lightning crotch, so much pelvic pain. It’s brutal isn’t it?! But if you go into labour early, you should be able to just bring the c-section forward. I had a section booked and typically went into labour the day before so they just put me on the list for that day instead.
And trust me, you’ll know. I woke up in the night and could tell immediately that things were different.
Good luck with the next few weeks!
