It just doesn't seem real anymore

Sarahgracesc

I'm finally nearing the end, and it no longer seems real.  It doesn't seem like I'll really get to have my baby.  And then I start to worry that I feel that way b/c something is wrong with her and I truly won't be able to ever bring my baby home.  Though, as many of you know, I'm a ridiculous worry wart.  I just want to be full term so she can get here, so I can stop worrying that she won't make it!  I have no reason to feel this way, I just do.  I was finally feeling like everything was going to be alright and I'd get my baby and I could imagine having her in the house, and then all of a sudden it just doesn't seem real anymore.  Anyone else having these crazy ups and downs?

I have the exact same thoughts, so either we are both normal or both crazy!

Hahaha, well either way, at least we're not alone!

Week 35 was hard for me - full term seemed so close and so far! Now that's it's 3 days away, I've relaxed. Ups and downs are definitely the way of things these days.

But I've been cleaning and organizing and that really makes me feel better! Everything is ready - the only thing left is for DH to install the car seat tonight and we'll be ready! Maybe some nesting will soothe you? GL!

I feel the same way! I just want my little one to come out. She has days when she doesn't move as much and then I worry that something will happen to her. It still doesn't seem real. I can't believe I'm about to become a mom!

GirlGenius, funny you should mention nesting.  I don't know that I'd necessarily consider it "nesting," but yesterday I went nuts getting ready for the baby!  Cleaning and organizing and making sure all of her things have places.

Thank goodness I'm not a nutjob!

I must say....turning the corner at 37 weeks hasn't changed much for me.  I hope it does more for you....I still am feeling like it will be awhile before I have any action.

It didn't seem "real" to me until months after having him.  When I was pg, I knew I was pg, that I was going to go into labor and birth a baby, but it just felt like DH and I were going to come home and life would be back to "normal".  After I had DS, I constantly felt like I was going to wake up and it was all going to be a loooong dream.

My God, I could have written this...
