Is anyone else freaking out over every little thing?

dobrydney · October 2013

I'm bringing up the rear of the Nov13 BMB with a 11/26 due date and seeing all of these outside babies has got me freaked out! I have 6 more weeks, but I know that in reality LO could come at any time--and after another week or two they probably wouldn't do much to try and stop her early arrival. We're as prepared as we can be, but it's still totally surreal (we're first time parents). Now, every time I have a new slightly uncomfortable feeling I panic a little bit! I'm sure there are a bunch of us feeling this way, so I just thought I'd share the love!

Lol. I was thinking about posting something like this. I'm due 11.23. Also 6 weeks left. I'm not freaking out but reading all of these posts def. makes you think about the "what ifs".

I'm off today so I'm packing some things in Hailey's diaper bag and some stuff in my bag also.

I freak out about a lot. I'm a STM so I feel more freaked out this time I think. Since I've been in labor before now I'm worried about how it might be the same, but how it could be totally different too. I worry about how DD will be without me home, I worry about how I will care for 2 kids..... the list goes on and on!!!

I'm a TTM and still freaking out. Part of my problem is that I have a 9 and 11(almost 12) year old. It's been so long since I had a baby to take care of. My kids are both so self sufficient that it's weird having another person so totally depend on me!

Worried... yeah just because of the unknown... if LO can stay put until the 17th after our car seat installation then we'll be good.. I don't have any expectations as to him coming early though.... but we will see where I'm at on Wednesday. Tuesday I was just barely a fingertip dilated...Preparing myself for no change

I think I'm just ready for the change to happen, even though I'm not ready for the lack of sleep we'll be going through. I'm kinda tired of preparing, and thinking of everything I need to get done. At this point, I'm also really freaked out about my tummy getting bigger! I can't raise my steering wheel any further up, and I'm already about to touch it with this monstrous belly. :-/

I just realized this morning that I hadn't moved my seat forward, my belly just grew haha.

I pretend that I am totally ready for the lack of sleep, but a few days ago my dog started barking at around 2 am and I opened my eyes a tiny slit and was thanking the Lord I didn't actually have to get up and do anything...yet!

dobrydney · October 2013

It's crazy, I feel like we have most of the nursery stuff and what not done but it's been just the two of us for the last 7 years so it's going to be a huge (bug positive) adjustment!

Due 11/29...and I totally feel you. I took today as my day off for the holiday weekend to wash clothes, blankets, etc. and start getting my and peanut's bags packed. The only thing that worries me is the fact that we close on our house on 11/8; the EXACT day I turn full term. I keep giving my belly a pep talk and tell her that she can come out any time after that weekend...once we're in the house and start getting her stuff set up, I'll feel a LOT better I think. But no, you're definitely not alone.

My EDD is 11/1 and I'm freaking out over everything. Every BH, every pain or "off feeling", any changes in discharge or bowel movements, anything. I am overanalyzing it all because I have absolutely zero idea of what to expect when its game time. The last few nights I've been waking up even more frequently whenever I feel LO move because I'm not sure if it's her moving or my ute contracting.

I'm gonna repack my hospital bag for the third time now because I have no idea what I threw in there the last time. Hot mess...

You're so close!!! GL whenever LO decides to come!

I'm a STM and due 11/23 and starting to get anxious too. DS1 was a 30 week preemie so I can't believe I'm still pregnant ,34w2d today. My OB thinks LO will come around 37-38 weeks so I am trying to prepare as much as possible.

annabobo · October 2013

I'm still getting used to the idea of being pregnant

today my midwife said, "it could happen any day now". Whoa. Blew my mind. Completely agree w OP - super surreal that it's SO close. (Edd 11/7)

I mostly try not to think about it. Denial as coping skill?

My freaking out is because I'm the queen of procrastination. This is our second girl so we felt pretty prepared going in. However I hit 35/35 today and freaked out a bit on what we still have left to do. It doesn't help that DD1 was 2 weeks early so her sister could in theory follow suit and show up in 3 weeks. Ahhhh!

I'm actually feeling BH/maybe real contractions this time. I never had and before my water broke with DD1 so that makes it seem 'real'. I find myself worrying that I'm going to move funky and break my water somehow, even though I know that is crazy.
