Normal to feel overwhelmed & teary?

[Babybeesmama]

37 weeks with no 3 & starting to feel totally overwhelmed & a bit teary. Along with feeling like omg how will I cope with a newborn again (I have a 4 & 7 year old who are super excited & very well behaved children).

I have a history of pnd with both of them (second diagnosed & treated much quicker & successfully than first time round).. so bit nervous about that.

I have been so excited but last few days just feel overwhelmed.. plus (I know natural & people mean well).. but I feel like everyone's driving me mad asking me if the heats getting to me etc etc.. & I better get use to broken nights (like I don't know what that's like after 2 kids).

I feel like I want to hide from the world today 🙈 ... normal right?! X

37 weeks here too an feeling exactly the same. Emotions are a rollercoaster

Glad it's not just me xx

I'm 36 weeks and have had a fair few tears over the last week, my daughter is 11 so I have a big age and I'm really nervous about doing it all again from scratch.

Hugs for you! It is difficult. I'm 39+2 and had a few major wobbles last week. Had a good few cries to hubby and got a lot out but still feeling a little on edge. Hope all goes well for you.

Yes, and I'm only 27 weeks. Already have 1 who is nearly 7yo so like a pp feel like it's from scratch again. Also have a wedding to plan and renovation planning for our house it's all come at once! Poor planning lol

Definitely normal. I'm 28 weeks (dc3 too) and I've made a few excuses this week to just stay at home and potter with the kids as I just don't feel like being around people at the moment (I've done barely any useful housework or jobs this week in this heat either 😬). I had a major emotional wobble leading up to my 12 week scan and I'm sure I'll have another one when I'm at your stage. Its always a huge feeling of emotions when you're about to change your family dynamics and this heat doesn't help.
