Hi there, just posting for some moral support really. I'm due to give birth in four days time to my first baby and our cat has gone missing. He's normally in the garden, bobbing round the back door every few hours coming to say hi and get fed, spends half the day in for a kip, sleeps on our bed and has never been out all night.... but we haven't seen him since about 2pm yesterday. Barely slept last night (been struggling anyway with third trimester/ late pregnancy woes) and have basically been crying and looking out of the window all day. I'm so so so sad. He's a lovely affectionate soul, so funny and a big part of our lives. We're doing all the things the internet advises, like registering with the microchip company, going to go out and ask neighbours, have rung vets, doing posters... And now am worried being this emotional and stressed can't be great for the poor bairn. I started maternity leave this week and ideally I was hoping to spend these last few days doing final bits of prep and being excited and looking forward to the birth - perhaps this is a salutary reminder from the universe that stuff often doesn't go to plan!! Anyway, just feeling a bit knocked for six and struggling to pull self together. Uuugh!
