Is it normal to feel emotional before your due date?

[AnxiteyForever]

I'm 2 weeks away from giving birth but I am SO emotional. I am not a crier at all and have cried and I mean really really cried 3 times this week. This is my 2nd child- conceived via clomid so very much wanted and I just have this over powering feeling of self doubt, I'm so tired, feel huge and I just feel so shit. I actually feel depressed. And then I feel guilty for feeling this way.
What is going on with me??

I'd say you're nearing labour!

Omg this would be amazing! However I feel dread and then think what if I don't love him? What if I can't cope with a newborn? I can't be bothered with my 50 million (feels like) family members wanting to come and visit

I think this is just called Being Very Pregnant syndrome your hormones are going crazy and you feel exhausted and crap. It's natural.

I've got 5 weeks to go and today I've found myself sat in the nursery by myself just looking around and crying. Just feeling overwhelmed and excited and nervous and everything all at once! And I'm not an emotional person at all! I'm putting it down to hormones but I don't know if it means labour is on its way or not!

Totally normal. Good time to think about how to handle the post-birth visits, though, if you don't already have a plan. If you have a DP who will be able to be around, I'd suggest warning everyone who may visit that you'll want some time with no visitors once the baby is here, and will let them know once you start feeling able to cope with visitors. Don't feel bounced into having loads of people on day 3! How you feel in the event is really hard to predict, but at least don't commit to visitors until you know you want them! Rule of thumb to suit the average person might be "not before day 7".

(If you don't have a DP who will be around, you might want to make exceptions for friends/relatives who can be trusted to arrive bearing food, help as asked, and leave when you need them to!)

It must be cos i feel the exact same!

Im due Feb 9th and i feel like crying all the time. I thought it was lack of sleep!

Just want this to be over and see my baby

Sounds normal. Do feel free to sack off the family members at your leisure though.

My baby is due in 2 days and i broke down last night, cried so much, baby was very much planned but i now feel guilty for my 2yr old as i dont think she 100% understands that baby brother will be here any day and will be a huge shock to her and she will then have to share me. And im pooping myself for labour, because i know what’s to come! So yeah id say its normal haha
