35 Weeks and starting to freak a bit..

My DH's grandfather passed away and we had the wake/funeral this weekend..on top of it being very emotional I was dealing with low abdominal pains and pressure. Oh and every person under the sun telling me I'm going very early. My OB said I was due May 26th but to look for our DD around May 20th. This I can deal with but I'm not ready now. I came home yesterday from the funeral luncheon and started to panic--I asked DH to set up the co-sleeper and rock n play sleeper. I started putting out some decorations for her room (lamp, Twilight Ladybug lamp)..I also put some items in a diaper bag and added some more things to my hospital bag..cut some tags off clothing to be washed. I think everyone saying I am going early really got to me..and I'm getting more nervous about labor..

So anyone else dealing with the low abdominal pains/constant trips to the bathroom during the night and some panicking? Thanks for listening.. :)

    I'm there with ya girl! Same due date and everything. This weekend I was at a friend's bridal shower and experienced my first "real" Braxton Hicks contraction and was a little freaked because I hadn't had one before, and it was pretty painful. I've been having the period like camping, increased BMs, and the "holy sh!t this is happening soon" thoughts. I think we're totally normal and when I panic, I try to remember that although life is about to change drastically, it's the most welcomed change I could ever ask for :) I'm also trying to enjoy my last few weeks of just having me and DH--soon we'll be a family of 3! Hang in there!

    I am there with you too I had sharp pains last week the "lightening bolts" and it freaked me out as well and I have been having braxton hicks as well.. I feel like I am going to go early and everyone keeps telling me that as well... I feel like I am all ready for baby to come but then I start to think about Labor and all the stuff I wanted to do before ... baby will come when baby is ready and cant sweat the small things everything will be done eventually......... I am due May 30th but Baby was been breech last couple of ultrasounds I have had so having another one next week to decide how to go from there .. hoping baby flipped !

    Me too! 

    We are getting close.  Just try to relax and trust that whatever happens, even if you don't think you're "ready", you will have a healthy baby in the end.

    This past weekend I was 38 weeks and everyone I saw was like " wow you are probably totally ready to do this" and I did not feel ready at ALL. Driving home Saturday night I had a total panic moment to my poor husband about being nervous and scared (FTM) and then on Sunday morning it was a complete 360! I now feel ready for her to come at any time and even excited to meet her! Still a little nervous but I feel like if I went into labor today I'd be ready for it. I completely understand the panic, but we will all get through it and will be so happy to meet our little ones!
