Soon to be FTM - how are you feeling?

[anonforthespies43267]

I’m anxious but excited. Keep feeling the elbows and knees to the ribs and just wanting to cuddle her.

Equally petrified as I know nothing is guaranteed until that baby is safely in your arms (not being negative just from friends experiences)

Feeling awful as a friend lost her baby at c22 wks recently. Feeling grateful I’ve got this far.

Have been very anxious about labour but due to medical reasons now need a c section.

Worried about how my first babies (dogs) will cope.

Excited for the future and to see how amazing my DH is as a dad.

how long have you got until your due date?

I still have 15 weeks to go but feeling pretty similar. get excited and happy when I feel him kicking away but also very aware that until his here I wont fully relax and get excited. I know 2 ladies that had still births and although I know it's not common it has made me hold back a lot more. I find people want to talk to me about pregnancy but I close the conversation down and don't instigate any baby talk unless it's with dh which I'm aware makes me seem like i don't want to be pregnant. it's a rollercoaster of emotions that's for sure!

@EscapeTheOrdinary sorry I missed this reply!

I’m due in 17 days! Hospital are now messing me around with my c section, wanted me booked in urgently next week due to placenta previa. Got my head around that now they’re saying they need to delay it by a week as they’re too booked up so need to refer me for an urgent scan on Thurs to check position and if it can wait a week 🙄

Fingers crossed they can keep to the planned date! Must be so frustrating mentally and practically preparing to find out it’s been delayed. Not long now until you meet your little one though!
