Almost having a meltdown

3 weeks til I'm due. If I go til then. I'm getting very anxious and nervous at the same time. I will be a single mom. And family is far away. Have some friends here. But not as close as THE ones back home. Two of them said they would come help me. But feel like I would be a burden to one of them since she has a little one to take care of I don't expect her to drop everything to help me but she insist on doing so. Baby daddy is around sometimes. But I feel like he is now saying oh man this is really happening and is backing off. He has two other kids of his own and I get that. But what about this baby? He still doesn't have answers on who will help or take care of baby when I go back to work. I've been by myself this whole pregnancy. And it sucks. Guess I'm just venting on here

Ugh, super scary. PLEASE take the help that is offered. People wouldn't offer if they didn't want to help, and a lot of people think it's a privilege to be around such a tiny new baby, I know I do!

Any chance you can find someone from back home to come visit, like you mom or anyone?

Also, I'm not sure of your financial situation but maybe you could hire some help. There are tons of cheap sitters/mother's helpers out there on places like care.com or sittercity.com Maybe just having them come do laundry and watch LO while yu shower would be a help.

Omg I can super relate....reading your post I feel like I am def walking a mile in your shoes I have coworkers that I meet a few months ago literally in Jan that are willing to be in the delivery room with me and cut the umbilical cord so I agree if someone is willing to help accept it cause I am thinking I will def need the moral support if nothing else

I would agree: take the help that is offered to you! you will NEED it! People just want to help you and be there for you..allow them to help. There is nothing wrong with that, just means you're human. You'll be thankful for it and it'll be a relief off you. Good luck to you.
