Feeling emotional

Feeling the same. First was born 40+4 with a long early labour starting at 40+1. It was pretty intense from the start and I was exhausted by the time we delivered, had no prior signs just straight into painful contractions. This time I’ve been so emotional since around due date and anxious about birth for about 2 weeks and currently 40+4 with a lot of rightening in my lower abdomen on an evening for the last 4 nights but not much more to show for it. Cried in my midwife appointment today as I’m terrified of needing an induction and I’m really not down for it and thankfully my midwife is pretty lovely and old school and has said we can discuss that if we get to 42 weeks. I think she’s pretty certain things will happen soon. I just hate the anticipation of it all.
Update baby boy arrived at 4.13am today. Stay hopeful ladies and do what you feel is right for you and your baby 💗
Congratulations! Hope you’re both doing ok xx
Very similar to my current situation. 41+4 with my third. Also wanted to avoid induction but have begrudgingly booked one in today at 42+3. And the only reason I’ve agreed is that I’ve been having tightenings for the last 24 hours that are becoming increasingly more uncomfortable. Though no pattern or regularity to them yet. Just hoping things get established by themselves before I end up being forced into induction. I hope it works out for you the way you want it to 🤞🏻 Good luck lovely 🍀
