3 and a half weeks to go......

[julie7997]

Sleeping is non-existant. I guess I should get used to that. I am so uncomfortable. It doesn't matter how tired I am; I can't sleep. It's not just the fact that I'm uncomfortable; I can't get my mind to stop. I have all these thoughts in my head. I am very excited but I am also very nervous and scared. I have been a huge wuss through this

First of all, take a deep breath, calm down and try to relax. I know this is a very stressful time but you've got your hubby there for you and I know you'll make it through okay! As for worrying about being a good mom, from the entries I've read about you always being there for your friends and taking care of them, I KNOW you'll be a great mom! You're very kind and caring and you'll be an awesome mommy!

I'm sorry you're so scared right now, but just remember it's perfectly natural... I'm sure (since I don't have kids. LOL!). But seriously, good luck and I wish you a safe and easy birth! :o)

*Hugs*

I'm trying to relax but I'm by myself the majority of the time. Matt was sleeping and I didn't want to wake him because he had to work today. And he is gone all day at work until 5:00 so I have plenty of time to think. I wish I couldn't think right now. Haha. Thinking is my problem. I do believe deep down I know it's going to be okay. I just wish I could get this show on the road. THe anxiety of waiting for it to start is what is killing me. I am hoping I will be able to go a couple of weeks early as long as it is safe for him. THe doctor believes he is around 7 lbs now.

I think what you are going thru is mostly normal stuff, all women at almost 9 months start to freak out a little. I remember being scared shitless......everything will be ok. The contractions hurt, but I promise, you will look back on being in labor and wonder what the fuss was all about.

Everything you need to know about being a mom will come naturally. Its all instinct. Or you can call one of your friends who is already a mom. Or call me! I'm no supermom but just knowing you have someone to call if you need to helps!

*hugs*
I can not wait to see some pics of this little bundle of joy!!!!

ICK! I'm really sorry it's been rough for you. I think it's better you go in to the dr and be safe, then not worry at all. Dr's understand, trust me. They say the 1st child is generally the worst to give birth to. You'll do a great job! My mom too had really bad anxiety attacks while pregnant with my 2 older sisters. They couldn't figure it out for her either, so she says it just goes along with being pregnant and being so worried and overwhelmed and the hormonal imbalance. I don't doubt that your body is in pain, that's gotta sukc for you. Being pregnant can take alot on the body physically and emotionally. Just be confident that you are doing a great job and making it through the rough part of this. And as far as post partum depression goes, just be aware that your dr's are there for you and hopefully know you are already dealing with some depression issues, if so they'll probably watch you as closely as they can, but if you start feeling weird, make sure you tell them. It's really nothing to be ashamed of, especially when you get

Well I've heard they treat post-partum depression with Zoloft and I'm already on that so maybe that will help.
