Anyone else's anxiety really high?????

jjones59 · May 2014

The last two days my anxiety has been through the rough, last night I couldn't focus or get comfy and today I feel like my skin is going insane.

Wish these hormones would stop jacking me around......

amberlowe08 · May 2014

Yep.. I'm the same way. I'm going crazy watching my body for any sign of labor. The slightest gas pain gets me excited if only for a second.

Yup. I'm terrified.

whitneymarie003 · May 2014

Absolutely yes. I've never been this anxious before. My mind can't focus on anything else.

Same here. Waiting is even harder than I imagined!

Yes. Mine has been in full force for a good 4 weeks. I'm suddenly so afraid I'm going to die and my babies will be without me.. Or something is going to go wrong. On top of my crazy anxiety and fears, DS (5) asked me yesterday when I was going to die. How do you answer that? So I said, "whenever it's my time to go to Heaven!" His response? "You can't die, who would be my mommy? I need you even when I'm old!" Ughhhhhh......... Haven't stopped thinking about the conversation since......

I also have slept max? 4 hours a night in the past 2 weeks. If it isn't my ribs, it's my back, if it isn't either of those, I'm nauseated. I'm sure that isn't helping my anxiety much.

Oh man, your son made ME cry. That's a hard conversation.

Hugs.

Just started feeling the anxiety a few days ago. I told my husband I was very nervous, for a rainbow of reasons, and that I need him to make sure I don't feel alone for the upcoming weeks. It's crunch time.

I'm anxious about the delivery going smoothly for both of us. I'm also anxious about when it will happen! I have a "deadline" of May 12, when my doctor said we will have to have a scheduled c-section if he doesn't come on his own by then. I can attempt a VBAC so long as I go into labor on my own, so my mind is focused on (safe) ways to induce labor, in addition to whether I will actually be able to or not. It's stressful knowing I have a limited timeframe for my body to do its thing.

I think your son would of made any of us cry.

TaylorHam86 · May 2014

Yeah. I keep waking myself up in the middle of the night worrying about things.

awc1986 · May 2014

I've been really struggling to get to sleep these past few nights, because my brain is working overtime. It just won't shut down. Every little twinge or "feeling" has me on edge. I'm ready for this to be over.

stina76 · May 2014

I'm awake now at 2:30 and pretty sure it's anxiety! Maybe it's worry about my last few days of work or wondering if these cramps are BH or gas pains from eating a horrible dinner (a magic bar and chips and sour cream and onion dip!) Probably a combo of both! I knew my stomach would be messed up from eating that and I still did it! Urg!! Had my 3rd cervical check on Wed (38 weeks) and was 1 cm. Have had some spotting since (didn't with the last 2 checks) and think I started to lose my mp this evening. So maybe the realization that it could happen any day has me up? This whole time I've envisioned myself going after my due date, I'm not sure why??? I just want to go back to sleep!!!

Sdufort1216 · May 2014

ya my birthing classes are freaking me out I think the less I know the better lol ... I wasn't to scared about delivering until the past couple weeks...

ArmyMedic7588 · May 2014

I've been having horrible anxiety, to the point it's hard to sit down and relax during the day. Which I'm supposed to be doing to keep my BP down. Which makes me more stressed... ugh vicious cycle! Besides the fact that I'm up every 1.5 hrs to pee I can't get back to sleep sometimes cause my mind starts going into overdrive. Doesn't help that I had anxiety problems before being pregnant. I feel almost feel silly sometimes... Yesterday I was freaking myself out thinking I wasn't feeling her enough the past day or so (she's been kinda quiet) so I called the OB. She said to do a kick count later in the day when she's more active and go to the hospital if she doesn't pass it. If she does but I still wasn't confident I could come to the office this morning to see her. Sure enough half an hr after I got off the phone LO decided to be awake randomly and went crazy! Just to prove me wrong I think. The littlest thing makes me nervous now and being PGAL isn't helping.

Hope you're doing better OP!! Anxiety no matter the reason sucks!

Pre-pregnancy I had bad anxiety. Now I'm feeling it hard core. I'm due in three days and it seems to get worse every day. And not because I'm scared of labor but because I'm sure she won't come then and I'm going to be like this for weeks more!!!! I honestly don't care how painful or long labor is at this point I just want lung space. I am struggling so hard core. I was literally begging my husband not to let me ever get pregnant again last night. Tears and all.

Yes! I was just going to post about this. Mine is centering around the baby being ok/not being ok. I am worried about movement.I am eoworried about the fact that I am seemingly less uncomfortable now than I was a few weeks ago...so I worry if baby is growing. I am worried about losing amniotic fluid. I am just in a state.

Then, add to that, I found out my doctor is out May 22-27. I am due may 21. This is huge because I switched providers specifically to have THIS doctor because she is the most well known/ highly-regarded vbac doctor around. So my choices if I don't go before or on my due date are for a light induction (not ideal for vbac) or having a doctor who may or may not be vbac friendly but in any event probably won't be the vbac "god" my doctor is.

I know, my doctor is on vacation this week, I hopefully make it to next week so that I know she'll be in the area....3 more days

I was nervous Tuesday when I went to get checked out that I was going to end up staying and she wouldn't end up delievering me...

kat8805 · May 2014

Holy fuck. OP, every time you post, all I can think about is GET A FUCKING FB AND SOME GOD DAMN FRIENDS.

My doctor is pregnant and due a week after me! I started going to her and really liked her before she told us. We'll see if she'll be there!
