Well I'm 38 weeks and had a great pregnancy so far. Now all of a sudden I'm experiencing the most horrendous anxiety!!. It's esp worse as the nights draw in. I feel so wired it's undescibable and I just want to go to bed early so I'm not up worrying or feeling the anxiety but I can't bloody sleep. I know what neighbours are awake as I sit and look out window in the dark. My wee cat is so unsettled and I'm sure she has a limp that I'm soooo worried about(think it's all in my head). I can't pin point why I'm anxious as I know labour will be so painful and that's I have to give birth to my wee boy but I can't shake this high anxiety that hits me at night. Could it be hormone related? I do suffer from depression and anxiety and have cut down on my meds but I have never experienced this sort of unknown feeling of anxiety. I can't focus or think straight!!!Confused

I'm 37 weeks on monday and feeling the same. I've been having horrible thoughts about still birth etc. Constanly waiting for the baby to move. I can't concentrate and can't even watch TV atm. It's driving me mad.

I have a planned section on the 12th of Nov at 38 weeks and nervous about that to.

I did feel like it was just me that feels this way.

I can highly recommend hyono birthing downloads. I was on my own and started having horrible thoughts and fears so I downloaded them just for relaxation.
They helped a lot and I'm not at all that way inclined- I don't buy in to all the woo stuff but it was so effective
