Just looking for a hand hold really or some reassuring words!
I’m 38+1 weeks today, I lost my mucus plug a couple of days ago. Over the last couple of days I’ve started to get so anxious about giving birth :( I know childbirth generally is a scary and worrying thing but I’m so scared of feeling out of control and I’m scared of the unknown. I am a bit of a control freak anyway and I’m not coping with not knowing when/how it’s all going to happen and I’m so worried about how I will cope. I also have a phobia of being sick (haven’t been sick at all in pregnancy) so this is another worry. This was a planned pregnancy and we were lucky to conceive straight away, but I’m also worried about not bonding with baby and not feeling that rush of love when he gets handed to me. I haven’t felt that connected to my bump but I think it’s because I’m struggling to associate it with being a tiny person yet, it doesn’t feel real. I’m sure some of these things are normal thoughts and worries but it all seems to have hit me over the last couple of days and I feel like I’m going into panic mode a bit. And I really really don’t want to panic :(
