Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
So, today I am 4 days late-- which I guess is not too bad. And actually today is my original due date-- at least the date that I figured out online based on when I ovulated. But, with the loss of the mucus plug, etc., I sorta felt things *might* have happened earlier.
Physically, I am holding up. I mean, I am uncomfortable, but not constantly. Plus, I am sorta used to that anyway. Nothing new there.
Mentally, I am a nutcase. I went from wanting labor to happen already, to being so scared out of my mind that I had an emotional breakdown yesterday. I am trying to keep myself busy, but I guess the longer I wait the more and more the whole experience is starting to REALLY stress me out. I have such anxiety, All I want to do is cuddle with DH and be in his arms-- I begged DH to stay and work from home today but he really needed to go in-- especially so he could be around for when after the baby comes.
I am much better today than I was yesterday-- but, still I am just so scared of everything-- L&D, bringing the baby home, being a mom, etc.
I have another NST and a check-up tomorrow. I assume this is when we'll make our plan for induction because I highly doubt I am going into labor on my own. Maybe when I have a plan, I will feel better. I am a bit of a control freak, which is perhaps contributing to my feelings. I just don't know how much more of this I can take, nor do I have ANY clue as to what is going to make me feel better.

Re: Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
I'm starting to get anxious too...and I have 2 weeks to go still so I can only imagine how bad you're feeling. Like you said, I think staying busy is the only thing at this point that will keep you sane, as much as all you want to do most likely is lay around and do nothing and eat ice cream (an acceptable option also of course )
Chin up!!! It will ALL be worth it in a couple days, promise!!

Re: Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
I was 9 days late with DS so I feel your pain.
Everyday was limbo "is it going to happen?" and the constant barrage of phone calls from family was annoying
Try to relax and literally do things like take walks, read books and watch tv--things that you will not be able to do for a while when the baby comes
its hard, but the baby will come when ready---just try to enjoy some solitude since it is going to get nutty (sorry--just being honest :)

Re: Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
I am due in 12 days and I've been totally breaking down emotionally as well. I have so much stuff going on, still getting stuff ready for , I own my own buisiness which is in its high season right now so Im trying to get that settled and a million other things....
I'm not ready for her to even come . I keep parying I go a few days late which is ridiculous! I'm panicking that in a few days DH and I will never be "alone" again, and that scares the crap out of!!
It's totally normal, between the extreme hormone surges right now and that fact that our lives are DRASTICALLY about to change you have every right to freak out! It's part of the "process"
((((((LABOR VIBES))))))
That you go soon!!!

Re: Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way! I hope talking to the doctor tomorrow will make you feel a little better, especially since you might come up with an induction plan then.

Re: Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
I went early so cannot relate! but try to relax - do you feel like cooking? you could cook some dishes to freeze so you wont have to cook when your little one arrives. I know its easier said than done but you will never have this alone time again so try to enjoy even if its hard.
About being nervous about the baby coming and you being a mom trust me its a natural instinct that you are born with and it will kick in the minute they place that baby in your arms and even if the days in the hospital seem unreal when you take that baby home you just go into mommy mode - its like your body takes over and you just do what you have to do and surprise yourself at how well you do it.
I hope your time comes soon

Re: Ugh, on such an emotional rollercoaster
Ugh, I feel for you.
You will feel better once there is a plan. I am also a control freak, and the hardest thing I'm dealing with now, is letting go of the control and just letting each day happen. It is an emotional roller coaster from here on out, so all I can offer is .
