Hi everyone,
I'm pregnant with my 4th child. (35 weeks)
My other 3 are: 7, 5 and 3 years old.
I'm so happy with this little one. I just love having a big family. But lately, it might just be my silly hormones. But I grow scared of the thought of going shopping or something on my own with all 4 children.
Things like stepping out of the car. Are they not going to run into the street? Because I wouldn't be able to hold all of their hands.
Shopping, will I be able to keep an eye on them? Won't I loose one of my children?
I've got now a push chair for the baby. Maybe it was better if I brought a twin push chair. One seat for my baby and the other for my 3 year old.
Is a bigger car also safe enough? Are they better or not then a smaller car?
Will I be able to give all of my children enough care and attention when the baby comes?
Now I'm writing these things down, I guess it's probably my hormones making me feel so worried.
Today I thought: over a month I'll have my baby. They won't let me get passed my 40 weeks, because it's going to be a big baby.
My due date it the 23rd of September. That's a month and one day from now.
When I found out I was pregnant. I just couldn't wait to see my belly grow. To feel the baby kick and to be in my last trimester. Enjoying my time off work. Then waiting till the baby is born and then having my baby.
Now it's so far, I'm really starting to shit myself.
I'm not afraid for to give birth. Not at all.
My worries are if everything will go ok with the baby. Are my other kids going to be ok. When we go out will they be safe?
Money worries.
During the pregnancy we had some bad luck. We're trying to get tax and child tax credits. We've been busy with getting that for about 17 weeks now.
Twice they lost our papers and one time they forgot to send the new claim pack to us. We're busy with that and we got some good advice.
Just hoping that before our baby is born we'll get our money. Because we're getting behind in paying our bills.
That's not really helping me to feel less worried ;)
Anyone else who felt this way before your baby was born?
