Struggling

I’m really starting to struggle mentally. Don’t get me wrong I’ve loved every part of this pregnancy up until now. I was told 2 weeks ago I could have a sweep at my 39 week midwife appointment so to my surprise I go today and she said no you have to wait till next week! All I have done is cry ever since. I’m scared to mention to the midwife that mentally I’m struggling as I don’t want anyone to think I can’t do this. Not sure how to cope in my last few weeks. I’ve even opted for an induction at 41 weeks because I just can’t cope. I just want to meet my baby. Any advice?

I’m feeling the exact same way my darling believe me you’re not alone …. You can do this and keep telling yourself at the end of this is going to be a perfect little human in your arms that you’re going to adore and they’re going to adore you all they will want is their mummy once they’re born and you will feel no greater feeling , crying and feeling this way at this stage is so normal because you’re so used to going on this milestone journey watching your baby grow inside you and now …. waiting game these last few weeks will the quickest yet slowest weeks of your life but that baby wants to meet their mummy they’re just finishing off their last finishing touches to be that perfect little human 🥹❤️

@Chelsea oh god that actually just made me cry 😂😭thank you so much ❤️

You are not alone 🫶 All my pregnancy was amazing and just found out at 34 weeks that I have gestational diabetes! It's getting worse and worse! Started with pills, now insulin... I cried a lot but I face it.. I have a week left and feels like ages... But remember in the end it will be all worth it because we will hold our babies in our arms ♥️

You are absolutely welcome my darling ❤️

Turns out I’ve been for a scan today and there is too much pressure in my cord so I’m getting my waters broke tomorrow morning at 9am 🎉

Good luck 🫶
