7 weeks to go...can we just fastforward

[Bells3032]

31 weeks now. Been told due to GD and some muscular issues I'll be having an ELCS at around 38 weeks so around 7 weeks to go. Just want it to be January already! (or at least Christmas when I start my mat leave).

Bored of the GD diet and despite everything i can't seem to get my fasting levels to stabilise. I have an anterior placenta so some days feel her really clearly and other days she's very quiet so lots of trips to the hospital for reduced movement. I'm just very anxious and want her here where I can see her.

I am dreading Christmas with husband's family as i usually hate the food anyway and just snack on the crisps and chocolate and can't do that this year and worried about being around that many people so close to my delivery date (around 20-25 people) - I am triple jabbed as is DH but still anxious about him esp catching it and not being able to be with me at delivery.

Can it be January already?

@Bells3032 I’d love for it to be January too as that means I’ll be closer to the end of my first trimester and I hope feel less anxious as everything will be ‘okay’. I feel bad for wanting time to go by quicker but I just want to get to that safety checkpoint!

I can’t imagine how you feel knowing you’ll be meeting your little baby! It’s so close, yet so far!

@Bells3032 Sorry to hear you are having such an awful time with GD and such. I am 31 weeks too, due end of January, thankfully a relatively straight forward pregnancy so far touch wood, and I am wishing the time away too!

Sometimes it seems so far away and other times it feels like time is speeding past! It won't be long now until you meet your little one and it will all be worth it!

Any possiblity of changing your Christmas plans? You could be more physically uncomfortable by then, as you say can't drown your sorrows in chocolate and crisps! That's aside from the increased risk from mixing with a large group.
