I totally feel you right now :(
I'm 35 weeks today and feel so worried about the next few weeks.
Had a miscarriage last year after fertility issues and I was so looking forward to maternity and all the plans ect and everything is now cancelled.
Feeling so low my OH has to leave straight after birth too :(
Not even on maternity leave yet and sick of the house already!
I know there are bigger things to worry about but I feel everyone has their worst and so it's hard not to feel like this!

I think most hospitals are like that now. It's rubbish :(
Just praying we have easily births and can leave soon after!
Thank you! You too xx

Bless you, it must be very difficult. Handholds for you both, hoping everything goes smoothly. You may end up with a same-day discharge.

I’m 36 weeks today. Very up and down, haven’t cried for a few days and feel so much calmer but at the beginning of the week I was an absolute wreck. Mine’s a combo of extreme agony (pgp/spd), toddler giving me lots of grief and worry and then of course the obvious C word.
Everyone is totally sympathetic to me in real life, it’s obvious this is so less than ideal for us right now to be birthing through a global pandemic.
I had a calm and reassuring chat with the midwife today though.
Midwives arent nurses, they are there for us only, they are separate to the huge strain on the NHS. This bit of info makes me feel better

I feel you I've been crying a lot but then get over it and carry on I was supposed to see my midwife Monday but that has been cancelled so I wont have that support unfortunately I suppose it will be a story to tell them when they are older 😯 xx

I'm 35 +2 with first child and I'm feel the same, I feel like the whole thing is being ruined and making an already stressful situation a lot worse. Not just for me but for my whole family. I know the whole family are worried for me and I'm petrified. I just want to have the baby now and get home to the safety of my house.

Hi ladies I’m 36 weeks on Sunday.I hope you are ok.It is a crazy time isn’t it.I have felt quite low with being trapped inside too.I also just realised I have an appointment with my midwife on Monday.I am nervous about contracting the virus from being out.I am also worried what size the baby will be.The doctor said he/she was 6lb at 34 weeks 😬.Thats quite big.How much do your babies weigh?

ejmay90 · 28/03/2020 06:59

@Mrselh I feel exactly the same. Feeling already anxious as a first time mum and now feeling even more stressed. Feel so down my family and OH family wont be able to meet baby when he's here :( and we dont know how long until they can. I've cried all week and feel this stress isnt helping baby!!

Laurapb88 · 28/03/2020 10:23

It really is an awful situation to be in my heart is with all of you xx
