3tri. anxious?!?!?

MorlaMorla
in Orange County Babies

I think we got everything ready, bags are packed... things are all assembled and washed and organized...

I am not anxious about the labor and delivery but I feel stressed out... about little things... like who is gonna come and visit me at the hospital, do I want people coming to the hospital? how do I ask people to wash their hands before touching the baby? how's my MIL gonna get here, is she gonna make it for the birth? how's my DH gonna handle everything? 

I guess I just want to "know" everything... no matter what the nurses have told me in all the birthing classes i feel more stressed out...

what can I do to distract myself? did you go through this? what did you do?

TIA!

    relax. everything will fall into place and happen. don't stress yourself out.  take a walk, wash baby clothes, just enjoy the quiet right now before the baby comes!

    I am having some of the same anxieties!  I don't have any advice, since this is my first time too, but I think it's normal!

    It's your baby so you get to make the rules and be a *** if you need to. 
    With that said, people are going to do what they want and that includes showing up at the hospital at all hours.My suggestion is family comes on the first day and friends come on the second. I had the baby in the afternoona and EVERYONE came that evening.  No one came the next day, except my mom and bff who were both already there the night before.  I was almost bored the second day because I had no one to talk to and I was so tired from the day before.  Not that you can be bored with a newborn, but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say.

      Most hopsital nurses will tell people to wash their hands.

    I think you're just kinda nesting even though those are not all "nest" related thoughts.  It's pretty normal. 

    I don't know about you but I usually can't relax until  I've taken care of the mater.  So my suggestion would be for you to try and plan everything out, or at least write it down.  Maybe discuss it with DH and just get them out of your head.  GL!
