35 weeks & getting emotional

Annabelle7Annabelle7 member

I don't know if it's the lack of sleep or what, but I'm just feeling extra emotional this past week.  I can only sleep about 3 hours at a time and then I have to pee and am wide awake.  I'm also kind of scared cause these babies will be here soon, and it's just scary!  My doctor is okay with doing a breech extraction, but she was telling me it depends on the doctor on call and their comfort level on it, the amount of staff availabe at the time, etc.  Also, baby B is measuring a little bigger than A, but not so much that they wouldn't do one.  Anyone else feel like this or overwhelmed near the end?

    Yes! I think part of it is wanting to be done and the stress of having everything ready for when the babies come. So you are not alone!

    Yup, that's normal! I cried daily from 34 weeks on. It's tough. Have you tried taking Unisom? My ob recommended it and it helped me get a little sleep, though I know it's really hard to get comfortable at that stage.

    Hang in there, before long you'll be holding your sweet babies.

    Totally....there's nothing like the hormone/sleep-deprivation/major-life-change combo to make one an emotional mess (that doesn't change PP, btw....). Hang in there! Make sure to take extra good care of yourself and get as much rest as possible. I found that Benadryl helped me get to sleep so you could maybe try that?

    GL w/ your delivery too! I was in a similar situation; my Baby B was breech, but because A was bigger and vertex my OB was comfortable doing a vaginal delivery but none of the other doctors in the practice were. I was super uncomfortable not knowing what to expect (and unwilling to just decide on a C/S) but it turned out he was off when I had to deliver so the decision was made for me (though he actually showed up and assisted at the surgery at the last minute). Though it was disappointing to have to have the surgery, it really wasn't so bad. Whatever gets your LOs here safely is the best choice!

    I have been extra emotional starting this week.  I too, get anxious thinking about caring for two babies.  I know it can be done, it is just the unknown.  A new mom of one gets anxious, let alone a new mom of two.  I think it is very normal to feel anxious.  Hormones are also going crazy in us right now adding to the feeling emotional.  Hang in there!
