I'm a wreck

in October 2015 Moms
I woke up this morning and had a sudden overwhelming feeling of panic. I normally have a very active baby but don't recall feeling him much if at all through the night. All the sudden I start crying and walking around. I got some ice water and come back to bed where the sobbing continued. Hubby was being sweet and trying to calm me down. I finally felt baby move and so did he. Currently doing kick counts and I don't think 10 can happen fast enough. Then I started crying because hubby told me to stay home from work but I don't really have any sick days to use so I cried over that. I'm a literal hot mess right now. 38 weeks today will find out tomorrow if they want to induce next week. Now I feel like a crazy that is over reacting...

    It's normal to freak out every once in a while. Cut yourself some slack!

    Don't feel like you're crazy.....you're pregnant and hormonal and it's all natural to act this way. I've been the same way too. Hope you feel better!

    Pls don't feel bad. I basically lost it on my mom and now she's not speaking to me...trust me, it's a hormonal time- I've NEVER ever said anything like that to my mom before ... I guess where I am going with this is that you need to be more forgiving of yourself. It's totally normal :) feel better!

    A few weeks ago I sat in our hallway and cried because I couldn't get any of my shoes on before work.  Husband woke up, saw me sitting there crying with 12 pairs of shoes everywhere and looked terrified.  He patted me on the back and helped me put a pair on.  We all have our moments... lol hang in there ;)

    Yelled at my two year old before preschool this morning. Crying about that now.... Basically hating myself these days. I've always thought the last couple weeks are the hardest by far. Hormones are crazy. You will be okay.

    Ohhh I had a very similar freak out on Sunday. Baby girl was very quiet this weekend and I was about to call my MW. Then Early Monday morning I had a bit of an anxious meltdown and like you, my husband was very sweet and told me I should stay home. I didn't because I don't have that much PTO. These last few weeks are really hard! Not just physically, but emotionally as well. The waiting is scary!

    You are not alone!! Whenever I wake up at night (often!) I don't feel him move...I know he's just sleeping, but I freak out and drink water and move my belly so I get a kick. I'm especially nervous after that loss post the other week :( I just can't let myself fall back asleep without feeling movement, because what if something were wrong and I have to go to the hospital like now?! Needless to say, NOT sleeping well! Ready for this little man to come on out!

    Thanks ladies. He's still very quiet in there and I'm trying to let my breakfast settle before I get too anxious and call my doctor. Hormones definitely do not help!
    And yes, that loss post has me freaked out too!!! My US on Friday looked so normal even checking the cord but it still bothers me.

    I don't know about your baby, but mine is not very active in the morning. Never has been. I have to remind myself that she is active after 10 am (or so) so I don't get too anxious! Try not to worry, but always call your doc if you need to. : )

    Normally babies are quieter in the am and especially now bc they're big and not a lot of room to move.
    I was told by my OB that if I'm concerned to lay on my left side and drink a cold juice and I should have 6 movements in 2 hours.
    Good luck.
    I worry too. Would be a mom if we didn't. Right

    Was your baby more active the previous day. I've noticed that she will have a quieter day if she has been a bit busier the day before. I've also noticed her less actibe in the morning and back to being busier in the evenings and right before bed. Try all the suggestions above but it doesn't hurt to call your doctor for peace of mind. We have all been there. And I know what you mean about that loss post last week....freaked me out too. Just trying not to get caught up in those fears but it is hard....I'm terrified something will happen prior, during or after delivery.
    I agree on cutting yourself some slack on the emotions and hormones. I'm 38 weeks today and I have been in a funk for a few days now. I've cried over what I can't eat, drink, and do. I hate that it's hard to find something to wear and I can't dress in cute fall clothes. I think this point in the game it gets hard mentally when you are ready to be done and hold your baby. ...especially when others have already had their babies!

    I did the same thing, only she failed her kick counts AND didn't move after a brisk walk. We went ahead and went into the ER which I do feel silly about but now, but as soon as I heard her heartbeat I felt so much better! I did exactly what the doctor said.... if she fails kick counts just to head on in. She said I did the right thing even though it might feel unnecessary!

    It's better safe than sorry. He seems to be more normal now with movements. Doc said to take it easy today and monitor him. I had a good lunch and snuck a little caffeine and things seem to be picking up. I'm usually not much of a cryer so when I do I get mad that I'm crying and feel like a baby and then I'm upset over that. I'm so done with these hormones and irrational out bursts of tears. I'm so lucky I have a husband who just lets me cry and rubs my back and tries to be supportive. We will laugh at the tears later and I will say sorry. He will just say it's ok you're pregnant lol.

    Ditto. That post last week really has my already anxious brain in overdrive. What if somethings wrong, why isn't she moving. I'm obsessing and I can't help it. I have no idea what I would do if I lost her. I'm definitely not sleeping well and anxiously awaiting her arrival.

    Y'all...this morning I was a HOT MESS! All I could think about was...what if I lost him while I was sleeping? I got up, ate breakfast, got ready for the gym...no movement. usually I get SOME indication that he is, ya know, ALIVE! 

    So I laid down with ice water and ladies...it took half an hour for him to move. I was borderline hysterical. Like..what if the chord got caught or he's sick?! Then the little bugger decided to become a gymnast haha! 

    I'm already an anxious person...wow took me a while to calm down. Needless to say, I did some yoga and skipped the gym!

    It is so reassuring to read that others are feeling the exact way I am feeling! I feel like I am barely holding it together! I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and I'm so ready to move on to the next stage and NOT be pregnant anymore. The waiting game is awful and I've also noticed the past couple days her movements have been less noticeable and that is not helping my anxiety levels! Just had a Dr. apt on Monday and heartbeat was fine, but it still freaks me out when I can't feel her move for a little stretch of time. I wish I could stop obessing and relax but it is so much easier said than done!
