Tomorrow I am 34 weeks. Yesterday and today I have been so uncomfortable and in pain. I am having trouble sleeping because I start thinking about labor approaching and get anxious. I have such bad anxiety already, but getting this close to my due date is making my anxiety heighten. I’m
Worried I’m not gonna be able to know what to do and that something is going to go wrong.

Have your bag ready to go.
In a calm moment, write everything down... write down what to do when labor starts... call Dr, game plan, anything and everything you can think of.. so when it does start you can reference the paper or phone note or whatever instead of relying on an anxiety-ridden, hormonal, pregnancy brain lol

I'm 34+4 and have nothing planned or packed. Don't have the nursery set up (bc my 2yo is refusing to switch beds so my 1yo can move in so baby can take that crib 🤦🏼‍♀️). My first was born at 34+2 so you'd think I'd be fully packed and prepared by now but nope... it'll all work out though! We figure it out! You got this mama! Baby is coming one way or another so don't let it stress you out - even if you have the perfect plan, babies don't care so it'll just lead to more stress when it doesn't happen that way. Just try and go with the flow (I know - easier said than done!).
