After a really wonderful pregnancy, when for the most part I have been incredibly relaxed and happy, I have suddenly become extremely panicky and tearful. It's wierd because I had a few health scares along the way (first I had a low placenta and the stupid doctor kept telling me I was going to bleed to death at any moment, and then the very day they told me that was all okay, I was told I was having a 12 lber and that I would have to have a c/s) but now everything has been resolved and I have been told that I can have the homebirth I so desperately wanted right at the beginning. And I am so happy about this. So why is it that for the last 36 hours or so I have felt so panicky and tearful, I just keep wanting to cry for absolutely no reason, and am imagining all sorts of horrible things for my lovely new babe and / or me. What is wrong with me? Other than being pregnant and madly hormonal I suppose?

Oh Darling
Ive been there!!!
Its the antisipation of the birth , the fact that you have made it through 9 months of pregnacy !, and the fact that soon you won't be pregnant anymore. Its realy normal at lest i can symathise total with you amd im sure you will get loads of similar messages
Good luck hun and im realy glad that you are going to be able to have your home birth xxxx

It's a big moment - nerves are normal!
If I hadn't had ds at 38 weeks I would no doubt have been 10 times more panicky approaching my due date!
Good luck
