  Yes, feeling the same way here and going out of my mind at work thinking "Is today the day?"  "When will it happen? "  "Has my body progressed anymore?"  Will we need to schedule an induction after 41 weeks (that word freaks me out!)

  Fear of the unknown....

  We are so close!

  Yes, I have definitely been more anxious the last few days, mostly about how labor and delivery will go.

  I have it bad this week. I get really overwhelmed..went to walmart this morning for a box of wipes and a head hugger and when I finally got out of there I just sat in the van for a half hour and cried. I feel like i'm in denial she will be here so soon and just being sore and looking at my house and not being able to tidy it was quick as I used to is just getting to me. My 10 yr old daughter has a hearing test and the dentist tomorrow and the first appt is a half hour away and idk how I'm going to get through the day

  Me! I'm at 38w2d and I have been so anxious, but I can't pinpoint over exactly what. It's just an overwhelming feeling and I am crying at everything. Just started about a week ago. Fun times!

  This time my anxiety has been horrible.  I haven't had such awful panic attacks since I was dealing with PTSD.

   

  Then again it doesn't help that in the past 2 weeks I found out MHMR completely lost my autistic son's case file so he no longer has a caseworker and we have to reapply AND our lovely governor passed an act that's going into effect now saying that families with disabled kids in our state who make over a certain amount of money have to pay up to 5% of their income in copays in addition to paying for our private insurance just so we get the services our kids need, oh, and the person who was lined up to watch my kids when I was in the hospital, my MIL, called to let me know now she can't do it now, so yeah, constant ongoing panic attacks.  At least I got the kid care thing sorted out.

  Yes, I already have anxiety pre-pregnancy and now I'm dealing with some family issues that are making me have way worse anxiety daily. I can't wait for my baby to be born so I can properly deal with it (read: medication).

  This!  I'm especially concerned that DH will be stuck at a job across town and miss the birth (very unlikely and irrational, yet on my mind constantly).

   

  D & R were born at 37w5d.

  I just posted something similar... I scheduled to have my c section last week... And the big day is tomorrow! I am excited to meet the little guy, but I can't shut my brain off... Yesterday was my last day at work and I have spent today attempting to sleep in, and cleaning my apartment to be ready to come home to no laundry, dishes, clutter, it's keeping my mind off things, but still I know I won't sleep tonight, the fear of the unknown is terrible!
  
  I just pray he's healthy, and surgery goes smoothly. It's all I can ask for!

  yes. I have had anxiety issues my entire life but Ive found that with each other my pregnancies, the hormones make it 10 times worse! it got a little better mid pregnancy but its been up again the past month or so... sorry you are dealing with this.. I know how bad it feels.
