Due date 8th Jan

Anyone else so scared they are going to give birth around Xmas/New year as due date is early Jan?!
This is my second and I’m struggling hugely with mum guilt. Trying to make a wonder Xmas for my 4 year old, plan child care for birth (no family close) and just pray baby doesn’t come early. Feeling bigger then I ever did with first and emotions all over the place.

Same here! I’m not due until the 18th on Jan but due to complications we’ve been told to be prepared for spontaneous early labour! We’re supposed to hosting too 😅😅 I don’t know if I’m being delusionally optimistic

Yes, I’m due 4 January and praying this baby doesn’t come early! My daughter was born at 40+5 so hopefully he is similar…! Last time I was going on long walks to kickstart labour but definitely going to let things happen whenever they happen this time 🤣

My first was so fast at 39 weeks too they said expect a fast birth this time which I’m so scared about. I just hope they don’t come early.
They said if I want a c-secrion that’s done at 39 weeks…new years day 😵‍💫
