Early Labour?

I’m going insane 😩I’m 38 weeks pregnant today, the last week I’ve been having braxton hicks for a few hours and they die off. Today I’ve had a lot of them, then this afternoon they’ve been really consistent - every 2 minutes begining of the afternoon and then at 5pm they were every 5 mins for 2 hours and actually painful to the point where I had to breathe through them, and then at 7pm they just stopped 😩
Apparently this can happen for days before active labour and it’s driving me insane😭 anyone else experiencing this?!!

Due date tomorrow

Hi all, I have my due date tomorrow (9 July) a still no signs of Labour. Had a visit to midwife yesterday and she confirmed that baby’s head is really nice and down and everything is fine. As a first time mother I’ m really anxious what happens after tomorrow. Anyone going through same situation or can share experience?

Midwife appointments causing more anxiety

I’m 31 weeks and the last couple of times I went to my midwife appointment, I’ve come out of them more anxious about the baby’s movements.

They ask me how the movements and I say that I feel baby everyday a few times a day but that the movements are softer, less kicking more softer pushing movements.

They ask me about the pattern and I say there isn’t a daily pattern really and then they say I should go to triage if I have any concerns and that it’s for me to know if it’s unusual or not and to be honest I just don’t know if it is or not, if I had to go every day it’s not the pattern of the previous day I’d spend every day at triage…

I wasn’t anxious about it before but now they made me anxious and I feel guilty of not going to triage.

1st Trimester

I hope everyone’s coping well! I’ve found I’m the opposite of most where I’m not feeling ill or nauseous (very thankful) - but I cannot stop eating! It’s ridiculous and I’m going to put so much weight on but I can’t help it. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Extreme Anxiety 😥

Due my 2nd baby, and having a planned section end of July.

It’s only 8th July and I have lightening crotch and pressure on my bladder and struggling to walk but no other symptoms.

I am constantly symptom checking. I cry every day. I’m worried I go into labour and not know. Im worried I get refused my section even though I was told it would be treated as an emergency section.

I have such a fear of natural child birth (long story and ptsd)

I just don’t think I can go another 3 weeks. I feel so lonely and just cry everyday.

My first baby was a planned section and it was the best experience of my life but I have it in my head it’s not going to be the same. And everyone keeps telling me ‘oh you look big I don’t think you’ll make it to end of July’ my head is scrambled.

Nights with a newborn

To moms, I’m worried when my daughter’s born I’ll have a hard time waking up to the crying or that I’ll miss it.. how did you guys adjust is it really hard?
