Impatient for labour - anyone else with me?

[hopeful4us]

FTM, currently 38 weeks and so ready for our baby to arrive!! Hoping for a vaginal water birth but have another growth scan on Monday which may put a spanner in the works. Doing all the usual things:

• Drinking raspberry leaf tea
• Eating dates
• Lots of walking
• Pregnancy yoga/ball exercises
• Sex (around x1 per week)

Anyone else in the same boat? I know the baby will ultimately come when they’re ready so what are you doing to take your mind off impending labour?

I can remember feeling like this with DS1, my midwife said when we give the due date, baby could arrive two weeks before or two weeks after. DS1 arrived a day before he was due, DS2 10 days early. Can't imagine how I would have felt if I went over. Baby will make an appearance when they are ready, sounds like you are doing everything right. Make the most of the rest and get jobs done while you can. Good luck, it’s such an exciting time.

Good luck! Why not book a nice pregnancy massage?

I was like this! Then had a horrible birth experience that went nothing like I planned. The staff were amazing just baby was being awkward 😂
