Getting really anxious about sleep deprivation

[TangBloodyFastic]

Hi all
As I am rapidly approaching my due date I can't help but feel really anxious about what is to come
I am really worried about sleep deprivation
All I am reading is how hard it is and how awful the lack of sleep is and it's making me dread what is to come and my ability to cope (I am not an anxious person!)
I am hoping to BF but the posts I'm reading about how hard/awful it is are really putting me off.
Can anyone share any positive stories to get my mind back on track and try and lift some of the doom and gloom which I am now dreading

Hi all
Thank you so much for the replies
Well DD arrived and she is utter bliss 💗

Sleep.... ??? what is that

I have had probably 8 hours sleep since Friday and am surprised at how "fine" I feel. I know there are plenty of days still to come but if I can get by grabbing an hour here and an hour there I'm pretty sure I was expecting the worst and the reality is not going to be as tough.

I'll update if things take a turn and my positivity drops and need some further reassuring but so far so good and being a mum to a gorgeous little lady makes the lack of sleep worth it.

I hope anyone else in the same boat reads this and it helps ease any undue anxieties

Congratulations!!

Congratulations - what wonderful news!!
