I feel a lot like this!
Already feel like I am “nesting” and I am only 25 weeks tomorrow! I find it hard to believe it’s going to get worse
I feel a lot like this!Is anyone really struggling with wanting to get stuff done but not being able to?
I desperately want the nursery somewhat complete (I’m almost 22 weeks so know there isn’t a rush, but trying to work around busy times at work etc) but we’ve got so much to sort out in the room as it’s currently just a dumping ground.
Lots of the sorting needs a tip run, and I can’t move the big items of furniture myself, even pre-pregnancy (we’re talking big wardrobes, bookcases etc) but then I feel bad nagging at my partner to do it because he doesn’t have the same sense of urgency. But then if I asked my dad to help, my OH would worry that my parents thought he wasn’t doing enough. But then if my OH’s parents help, mine feel pushed out.
I feel like I’m trying to please everyone and would normally be fiercely independent and find some way to do it but I feel useless and a nag.
Yea! What will be the nursery is full of my father in laws stuff that he is storing until he gets a new house and it’s really stressing me out. I know baby wouldn’t sleep in it to begin with anyway but I just want it done before he arrives cause I’m sure we won’t be up for building cot beds etc when we’re sleep deprived to hell.Is anyone really struggling with wanting to get stuff done but not being able to?

Omg yesIs anyone really struggling with wanting to get stuff done but not being able to?
YepHave any first time Mum’s (past or present) felt really really terrified towards late pregnancy? I’m in my third trimester now and I’m so petrified. Scared of birth, scared of having a little human to take care of! I don’t have any immediate friends or family with babies either so I just have absolutely no clue what I’m doing or how I’m going to cope.
I’m glad to hear it honestly because I’m so lost!Yep
Felt overwhelmed and terrified with both pregnancies!
It's completely normal, and honestly as annoying as it is hearing it, you all of a sudden just seem to know and pick things up along the way
I got to 38 weeks and all of a sudden felt like this, I was induced and labour wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the pain didn't ramp up as much as I thought it would as I felt in a lot of pain at 4cm and thought how will I get to 10cm but it didn't ramp up as much as I expected. Baby is now eleven days old, I still feel clueless and baby blues has hit but every day I get a bit better at knowing what to do so will get thereHave any first time Mum’s (past or present) felt really really terrified towards late pregnancy?

it’s normal to feel like that but birth sounds worse than it actually is don’t worry! The minute you hold your little bundle of joy it’s all forgottenHave any first time Mum’s (past or present) felt really really terrified towards late pregnancy?

Yess I cried myself to sleep the other night but more about the actual physical act of birth/epidurals freak me out/the thought of being in hospital for days if I have a section. I’m sure it’s normal, you’re not aloneHave any first time Mum’s (past or present) felt really really terrified towards late pregnancy? I’m in my third trimester now and I’m so petrified.

In my experience,Is a small suitcase ott to use as a hospital bag? Like it’s smaller then a typical cabin suitcase.
I think that sounds sensibleIs a small suitcase ott to use as a hospital bag? Like it’s smaller then a typical cabin suitcase.
Plus if you end up with a c section, you can roll a suitcase rather than lifting it! (Though hopefully your birth partner would take it for you anyway haha).Is a small suitcase ott to use as a hospital bag? Like it’s smaller then a typical cabin suitcase.
Quick FYI and in my experience, they don’t allow you to eat on the hormone drip, so eat! I was not told this (with baby 3) until they gave me the drip and I had ordered lunchStill here
Labour and delivery has been busy with emergencies today so not had the hormone drip at 4 like they said. They’re handing over to the night shift staff so hopefully find out what’s happening soon.
to anyone that hasn’t fully/or is the process of packing your hospital bags: ear plugs
also bring something to do that isn’t just your phone, I didn’t think I’d need anything at all (didn’t expect to be here this long before baby!) but I’ve been so boredand I did bring my phone charger but they said I couldn’t plug it in here, could only use their pat tested ones which you could borrow for a £10 deposit !
Yeah in my experience also I was NBM the second I was put on the hormone drip, so I'd have some food if you can manage to, right up until they hook you up!Quick FYI and in my experience, they don’t allow you to eat on the hormone drip, so eat!

In my experience, no. I had a wheely case, a changing rucksack and a large bag for life. And I still needed more stuff.In my experience,
Definitely not.
I had that plus some bags
Amazing, I love it! I had to be nil by mouth from midnight for an operation once and was so worried about being hungry that the nurses brought me a huge supply of biscuits that I ate right up until 11.59pmI ate an Easter Egg whilst they broke my waters cos they warned me that after 2hrs I’d have to go on the drip if I didn’t start contracting myself and I’d be NBM. My mum was absolutely horrified in the first place that I was eating it at 7am, even more so when I told her to put it back when she tried to move it away. I wasn’t wasting a second 🫣
