Am I paranoid

[sav93]

When the dr says okay your full term your baby can come any time now ur due any day etc do women sit around an wait for the due dates an stay home in case or do some women still enjoy activities outside an go out till there water breaks ? How are you women not paranoid or anxious for that to happen in public???

I was put and about every day until the day my labour started with mild contractions and a bloody show at a local forest walk. I would have gone mad sitting in the house waiting around if I had stayed in.

I'll go about my day when I'm due then an act as casual as I can

Well, what else can you do?
Obviously, if you're anxious, I can see you wouldn't want to be going on 24 hour road trips or anything but I'm not sure what other precautions you can take apart from sitting at home, your case in one hand and phone in the other.
Truly don't mean to sound sarcastic here but try to enjoy these days of waiting for your baby. I was one of those who worked right up to the end (by choice: I wanted as much of my maternity leave with my baby as possible) but I can see some more days to relax beforehand could have been nice.
I'm sure it'll be fine. All best wishes to you and your lovely baby

Thank you so much

@sav93 try not to feel anxious and just know that everyone has a different birth story. No matter what yours is it’ll be amazing because you get to meet your baby at the end of it. My waters broke at 36+3 on my last day at work, drove myself home then my contractions started as I was getting ready to go to hospital, baby arrived 10hrs later! You just don’t know what will happen, try not to stress

Just following up and, I meant to say, please let us know how things turn out, if it's convenient. Wishing you well.

Thanks so much !!!
